Selected Golf Courses
This club is widely known for its consistently well-presented course with a long and proud tradition. The narrow fairways make the 18-hole course unexpectedly tight with the additional challenge presented by native grasses growing in the rough.
Arrowtown Golf Club’s course is set in rolling hills on the outskirts of a historic gold-mining town. Formed along the Arrow River below the Crown Range, players almost always have clear views of Coronet Peak and the Remarkables during autumn. The shortest course in the Autumn Classic rotation, big-hitters must weigh up risks and rewards on many holes
Cromwell Golf Club is also more than 100 years old and the championship course was formed over terrain modified by years of gold mining activity and with its strategic plantings of marram grass resembling a coastal course though it is 200km from the sea.
The Kelvin Heights peninsula is the home to the picturesque Queenstown Golf Club, often features in classic Queenstown postcard images taken from the gondola at Bob’s Peak. The course is surrounded by Lake Wakatipu and framed by the Remarkables mountain range, which makes it hard to concentrate on your game. Golfers are afforded amazing views of mountains and shimmering alpine waters at every tee and green.
Players negotiating the front-nine have views over the township to Lake Wanaka and the Mount Aspiring National Park. The back-nine has more of a parkland feel with tree-lined fairways and views of Mt Iron, Mt Gold, and the Cardrona Valley. A challenging layout following natural contours in addition to small greens makes the Wanaka course one to be remembered for more than its imposing scenery.
