A golf trip to New Zealand really is unlike any other.
For those of us travelling from Northern Europe it is certainly quite a long trip to get there. But when you arrive you are greeted by a country of such beauty and such diversity that you instantly know every hour of the flight was worth it.
The golf in New Zealand is thrilling, but it is also fairly spread out! I have constructed this itinerary to ensure that we will experience both the great golf and also have the opportunity to see some of the country too.
The trip starts in Auckland where we will play Alister Mackenzie’s Titirangi before heading north to the recent creations of Te Arai Links. Judge for yourself whether you prefer Coore and Crenshaw’s South Course or Doak’s North. It’s a debate which will rage on for years to come I’m sure!
From there we will head to another Tom Doak top 100 world course, Cape Kidnappers. It’s one of the most spectacular pieces of land to have ever seen a golf course built. From there we head to Paraparaumu Beach, maybe the only true links on the trip. We finish off with a visit to the South Island and the wonderful setting of Queenstown. We will play three more rounds in spectacular Lord of the Rings territory.
We will stay at good quality hotels all of the way and the trip includes all golf, hotels, transport as well as several group meals.
If there is enough interest we will have an option of adding a couple of days at the beginning to play Kauri Cliffs in the north before the main group arrive.
UK Golf Guy trips provide a fantastic opportunity to meet up with like minded people and to have some fun both on and off the course. Whether coming on your own or with a few friends this is a great way to discover New Zealand and its golf courses.
