The Course that Started It All
To understand how NZ went from utter backwater to the world’s premier luxury golf destination, start with Kauri Cliffs GC. Nicklaus protege David Harmon designed this cliff top, world-top-100 wonder directly beside the opulent Rosewood Kauri Cliffs, with its curated collection of 22 guest cottages. Twenty five years later, this intimate formula has been replicated up and down the archipelago. Homage has its place, but it can’t match the subtropical environs here in Bay of Islands. Or the long, panoramic views, over the Cavalli Islands, out to sea.
About the Course
Kauri Cliffs was designed and built by David Harman of Golf Course Consultants, Orlando, Florida. The par 72 championship golf course measures 7,139 yards / 6,528 metres and offers five sets of tees to challenge every skill level. Fifteen holes view the Pacific Ocean, six of which are played alongside cliffs which plunge to the sea. The beautiful inland holes wind through marsh, forest and farmland. Kauri Cliffs is currently ranked 37 in the world by Golf Digest Top 100 Greatest Golf Courses in the World.
The golf complex includes a world-class practice range, putting and chipping greens, a well stocked golf shop, and ladies’ and men’s locker rooms. Premium ladies’ and men’s rental clubs are available.
