Winter doesn’t have to mean total hibernation for Kiwi golfers. However, Auckland and the north of the country can be counted on to offer friendlier conditions than the lower reaches of the South Island might present. And Maungakiekie Golf Club in the city’s south is one place you can capture a little mid-year sunshine.
When it opened in 1993, Millbrook Resort was a bit of a novelty. A deer farm had been transformed into a thoroughly modern golf course. The farm’s homestead was converted into a restaurant complemented by luxurious lodgings, all in a spectacular alpine location just outside Queenstown. The resort golf phenomenon had finally come to New Zealand.
The perfect golf vacation has easy access to high-quality golf along with the comfort of on-site accommodation. Whether you’re seeking a weekend getaway or a boys’ golf trip, New Zealand has plenty of ‘Play and Stay’ options.
In a major city like Auckland with 22 courses, it can be hard to stick out from the rest. Howick Golf Club at Musick Point does just that with a dose of spectacular scenery.
