Golf Tours

From breathtaking landscapes and invigorating course design to exceptional luxury accommodation, New Zealand has gained well-deserved fame in recent years as a world class golf destination. Our New Zealand golf tours showcase the most outstanding marquee courses in the country, which stretch from the dizzying ocean cliffs of Northland to the glacier-carved mountains of Queenstown.

The best way to experience New Zealand golf is on an all-inclusive private tour. Allow our team to handle the details while you take in the stunning views and focus on your game.

Fully Guided New Zealand Golf Tours

For the ultimate in convenience and luxury, travel with a private chauffeur on our fully guided New Zealand golf tours.

Self Guided New Zealand Golf Tours

We also offer a range of self-guided New Zealand golf tours. Rent your own vehicle or use helicopter or shuttle transfers for an independent experience.

Luxury Golf Tours NZ

Both on the course and off, a New Zealand golf escape will surround you in luxury. Expect warm, attentive service, superb luxury accommodation, gourmet meals, and world-class golf courses.

While all of our golf tours offer a premier experience, there are different tiers to choose from depending on whether budget is a consideration. Luxury lodge accommodation, exclusive helicopter sightseeing tours, and transport with a private chauffeur create an atmosphere of unparalleled extravagance, whereas self-guided golf tours based at 5-star hotels provide a similarly indulgent experience at a lower price.

North Island Golf Tours

Characterised by long stretches of breathtaking coastline with rugged volcanic terrain further inland, the North Island is home to a remarkable number of world-renowned golf courses. And because the island is relatively small, playing most of the remote, idyllic courses is achievable on a single golf tour.

The most notable North Island golf courses include:

• Kauri Cliffs
• Te Arai Links
• Kinloch Club
• Wairakei Golf Course
• Cape Kidnappers

Our North Island golf tours begin in the far northern reaches of New Zealand, where Kauri Cliffs and Te Arai Links follow the undulating coastline with spectacular views out to the Pacific Ocean.

From there, continue inland to Taupo, where the famously challenging Kinloch Club passes through striking volcanic terrain.

The final marquee course on the North Island perches atop the seaside cliffs at Cape Kidnappers, nestled in sunny Hawke’s Bay.

South Island Golf Tours

A spine of towering peaks gives shape to the South Island, and the marquee golf courses here are spoilt for views with majestic scenery in every direction. Most of the world-famous South Island golf courses are found around Queenstown, nestled in glacier-carved valleys with staggering lake and mountain views.

Notable South Island golf courses include:

• Jack’s Point
• The Hills
• Millbrook
• Wanaka Golf Course
• Terrace Downs
• Clearwater

Our South Island golf tours begin in Queenstown, where each day is filled with invigorating games of golf at championship courses and incredible sightseeing opportunities both on land and in the air.

Our Favourite New Zealand Golf Courses

From the windswept beaches of Northland to the alpine wonderland of Queenstown, these are our favourite New Zealand golf courses, which we include in many of our New Zealand golf tours.

Kauri Cliffs

Nowhere else will you find such remarkable coastal views on a New Zealand golf course. Built on a sprawling property with views out to the Cavalli Islands, Kauri Cliffs golf course follows the coastline of the Bay of Islands, with spectacular panoramas from every hole.

Te Arai Links

Not one but two separate golf courses wind through the dunes at Te Arai Links, both renowned for their coastal views and captivating strategic design.

Kinloch Club

Considered the most challenging golf course in New Zealand, Kinloch Club plays through rugged volcanic terrain beside the waters of Lake Taupo.

Cape Kidnappers

Staggering coastal cliffs, rare native birds, and exciting course design combine to give Cape Kidnappers a well-deserved position of international renown.

Jack’s Point

Cradled between the Remarkables mountain range and the shores of Lake Wakatipu, Jack’s Point is one of the most visually spectacular golf courses in the world, with an intriguingly designed course to match.

The Hills

Stretching across a glacial-carved valley, this magnificent course combines golf with large-scale sculpture installations for a thoroughly unique luxury golfing experience.

Millbrook

Renowned as the home of the New Zealand Open, Millbrook tempts golfers with two full courses known for their impeccable presentation and captivating mountain scenery.

What to expect on a New Zealand Golf Tour

Expertly designed to offer convenience, luxury, and unforgettable world-class golfing, our New Zealand golf tours provide a premium all-inclusive experience.

Our golf tours include:

• Green fees and pre-booked tee times
• Transport (private chauffeur and luxury tour vehicle, rental car, or transfers between golf destinations)
• Luxury accommodation
• Select meals

Green fees and pre-booked tee times

Our golf tours includes 18 holes of golf at each championship course visited en route. We make all arrangements in advance, including pre-booked tee times, which leaves you free to concentrate on your game.

Should you require equipment hire or golf carts, we can include these in your tour as well so everything is ready when you arrive.

Transport arrangements

Travel in comfort with a private chauffeur on our guided New Zealand golf tours. Nothing can match the ease, flexibility, and personalization of guided golf tours—your chauffeur will be at your service throughout your stay in New Zealand and will offer commentary, sightseeing excursions, and transfers to meals or other locations of interest while off the course.

This is particularly valuable if you are travelling with a non-golfing partner, because your chauffeur will be able to create a bespoke off-course experience for your partner while you play each round of golf.

Alternatively, we offer self-guided golf tours including either a premium rental car or transfers between each golf destination. Helicopter transfers can also be arranged.

Many of our luxury accommodations includes meals, from breakfast to pre-dinner drinks and canapes to degustation dinners. Where meals are not provided by your accommodation, we leave these free for you to arrange based on your preferences, whether you celebrate a successful round of golf with a relaxed lunch at the clubhouse restaurant or venture into town to sample the delightful local cuisine.

Sightseeing tours

Where the schedule allows, our golf tours include exclusive sightseeing opportunities. From private sailing charters and gourmet wine tours to glacier helicopter flights, we aim to create an immersive New Zealand experience both on and off the course.
