Golf courses in New Zealand

New Zealand has a golf tradition dating back to the Scottish pioneers of the nineteenth century and has developed it into one of the most impressive boutique golf offerings in the world. The country has a relatively small number of courses, but among them are some of the most breathtakingly situated in existence. Leading Courses favourites include Cape Kidnappers and Kauri Cliffs on the North Island. Cape Kidnappers sits on spectacular headland cliffs above Hawke's Bay with fairways that seem to hang over the Pacific — a setting that has no equal anywhere in the world. Kauri Cliffs near the Bay of Islands is equally breathtaking, with holes running along clifftops with sweeping views of the sea. New Zealand is accessible via Auckland with connections from Europe. The climate is temperate and pleasant, with the golf season running year-round. Greenfees at the top courses are steep but fully justified by the extraordinary settings. Golf somewhere that most golfers only know from photographs. Browse all New Zealand golf courses on Leading Courses and get inspired.
