blend of harbour, islands, Polynesian culture and modern city environment has created a lifestyle ranked amongst the best in the world.","\u003Cp>The natural assets of Auckland have made it a dream destination for all kinds of travellers, from doing-it-on-the-cheap backpackers to cost-is-no-issue super yacht owners. Welcome to Auckland, our largest and most diverse city. Being at the narrowest point of the North Island it literally stretches itself from one side of the country to the other – from the Pacific Ocean to the Tasman Sea. This means, wherever you are in Auckland, you’re never far from the water. From big wild rolling surf beaches to a beautiful gulf scattered with tranquil holiday islands, the sea and all its attractions are why this is known as the City of Sails. From some of New Zealand’s best shopping and dining experiences to a cruise on the beautiful gulf harbour – a few days in Auckland is the perfect beginning or end to your vacation in New Zealand.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nWhen it comes to golf courses in Auckland, visitors are spoilt for choice. One of the premier experiences for golfers when they come to Auckland is playing the only Alistair Mackenzie-designed course in the country - Titirangi. Located a short drive from the centre of the city, Titirangi Golf Club is not only one of the premier courses in Auckland, but one of the finest in the country and a different experience to many of the top courses in New Zealand. The course is sculpted out of a beautiful environment - rolling fairways set amid lush native New Zealand bush, all a short 20 minute drive from the heart of Auckland city.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nOther notable golf courses in Auckland are listed below and we would be happy to put an itinerary together for you based on our own experiences of playing each of these courses, depending on what you are looking for from your trip.\n\u003C\u002Fp>","Golf Courses","\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Ftitirangi\">Titirangi\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Royal Auckland \u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Muriwai\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Wainui\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fwindross-farm\">Windross Farm\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Whitford Park\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Ch3>Auckland Golf Packages\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fauckland-to-hawkes-bay-2\">Auckland to Hawke's Bay - 8 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fauckland-to-bay-of-islands\">Auckland to Bay of Islands - 8 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fplatinum-north-island-golf-tour\">Platinum North Islands Golf Tour - 11 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Ch3> \u003C\u002Fh3>","Activity recommendations","\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Waiheke Island wine and food experience\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Harbour Bridge climb & bungee jump\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Shopping in Parnell and Ponsonby\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Americas yacht sailing experience\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Fishing for Snapper on the harbour\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Enjoying the panoramic views from Mount Eden\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Explore the black sandy beaches and rugged coastline on the West Coast\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>","0627b66b-58bd-4262-948e-9c308228fba6","cd514f01-987b-401d-a0b0-959cae7c84f0","Auckland Golf Courses | Golf Packages | Playing Around New Zealand","Auckland golf","We invite you to Auckland, City of Sails, for your next golfing vacation.

of harbour, islands, Polynesian culture and modern city environment has created a lifestyle ranked amongst the best in the world. \n                \u003C\u002Fh2>\n                \u003Cp>The natural assets of Auckland have made it a dream destination for all kinds of travellers, from doing-it-on-the-cheap backpackers to cost-is-no-issue super yacht owners. Welcome to Auckland, our largest and most diverse city. Being at the narrowest point of the North Island it literally stretches itself from one side of the country to the other – from the Pacific Ocean to the Tasman Sea. This means, wherever you are in Auckland, you’re never far from the water. From big wild rolling surf beaches to a beautiful gulf scattered with tranquil holiday islands, the sea and all its attractions are why this is known as the City of Sails. From some of New Zealand’s best shopping and dining experiences to a cruise on the beautiful gulf harbour – a few days in Auckland is the perfect beginning or end to your vacation in New Zealand.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nWhen it comes to golf courses in Auckland, visitors are spoilt for choice. One of the premier experiences for golfers when they come to Auckland is playing the only Alistair Mackenzie-designed course in the country - Titirangi. Located a short drive from the centre of the city, Titirangi Golf Club is not only one of the premier courses in Auckland, but one of the finest in the country and a different experience to many of the top courses in New Zealand. The course is sculpted out of a beautiful environment - rolling fairways set amid lush native New Zealand bush, all a short 20 minute drive from the heart of Auckland city.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nOther notable golf courses in Auckland are listed below and we would be happy to put an itinerary together for you based on our own experiences of playing each of these courses, depending on what you are looking for from your trip.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\t\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\u003C\u002Fsection>\n    \u003Csection class=\"lists-module\">\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"content-max-width wysiwyg\">\n\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"col\">\n                                    \u003Ch3>Golf Courses\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                                                    \u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Ftitirangi\">Titirangi\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Royal Auckland (by request)\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Muriwai\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Wainui\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fwindross-farm\">Windross Farm\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Whitford Park\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\u003Ch3>Auckland Golf Packages\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fauckland-to-hawkes-bay-2\">Auckland to Hawke's Bay - 8 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fauckland-to-bay-of-islands\">Auckland to Bay of Islands - 8 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fplatinum-north-island-golf-tour\">Platinum North Islands Golf Tour - 11 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3>\n\n\n\n\n\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"col-2\">\n                                    \u003Ch3>Activity recommendations\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                                                    \u003Cul>\u003Cli>Waiheke Island wine and food experience\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Harbour Bridge climb & bungee jump\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Shopping in Parnell and Ponsonby\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Americas yacht sailing experience\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Fishing for Snapper on the harbour\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Enjoying the panoramic views from Mount Eden\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Explore the black sandy beaches and rugged coastline on the West Coast\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n                            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\u003C\u002Fsection>\n\n\n\u003C\u002Fmain>\n        \u003Cfooter class=\"site-footer\">\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"content-max-width\">\n\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"links\">\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"left\">\n                \u003Cimg src=\"\u002Fimages\u002Flogo.svg\" alt=\"Playing Around \">\n            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"right\">\n                \u003Ca href=\"tel:6495364560\" class=\"phone\">+64 9 536 4560\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003Ca href=\"mailto:info@playgolf.co.nz\" class=\"email\">info@playgolf.co.nz\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003Cdiv class=\"social\">\n                    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002FNewZealandGolf\u002F\">\u003Cspan class=\"icon-facebook\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\n                    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fplaygolfnz\u002F\">\u003Cspan class=\"icon-twitter\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"footer-legal\">\n            \u003Cp class=\"copyright\">\n                Play Golf © 2026 All rights reserved\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n            \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fterms-and-conditions\" class=\"terms\">Terms & Conditions\u003C\u002Fa>\n            \n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n    \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003C\u002Ffooter>\n        \n        \u003C!-- the js files that are compiled -->\n        \u003C!---->","published",{"id":36,"title":37,"slug":38,"lead_copy":39,"content":40,"courses_title":24,"courses_content":41,"activity_title":42,"activity_content":43,"hero_image":44,"thumbnail_image":45,"sort":8,"seo_title":46,"seo_keywords":8,"seo_description":47,"seo_og_title":8,"seo_og_description":8,"seo_og_image":8,"body_html":48,"status":34},2,"Bay of Islands","bay-of-islands","The Bay of Islands is one of New Zealand’s great holiday destinations – enjoyed by ‘Kiwis’ and international visitors alike.","\u003Cp>This is authentic New Zealand – both stunningly beautiful and historically significant. With a sub-tropical climate, you can enjoy beach and water activities, go exploring one of the many nature walks, swim with dolphins, charter a boat to go fishing or to explore the 144 different islands in our bay. The Bay of Islands was where the first European settlers arrived, and where they forged the first relationships with local Maori – not always a friendly experience! The famous Treaty of Waitangi became the founding document for our new nation, and is celebrated every year at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Each town in the Bay of Islands has its own unique culture and lifestyle – from the more up-market lifestyle focus of Kerikeri, to bustling Paihia with its focus on providing a great visitor experience, to the calming historic atmosphere of Waitangi and the Haruru Falls, and the beautiful and sometimes quirky sea-side town of Russell.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nWhen it comes to golf in the Bay of Islands, you are spoilt for choice, however, there is one stand out course that is on most golfer's bucket lists - Kauri Cliffs.

Islands is one of New Zealand’s great holiday destinations – enjoyed by ‘Kiwis’ and international visitors alike.\n                \u003C\u002Fh2>\n                \u003Cp>This is authentic New Zealand – both stunningly beautiful and historically significant. With a sub-tropical climate, you can enjoy beach and water activities, go exploring one of the many nature walks, swim with dolphins, charter a boat to go fishing or to explore the 144 different islands in our bay. The Bay of Islands was where the first European settlers arrived, and where they forged the first relationships with local Maori – not always a friendly experience! The famous Treaty of Waitangi became the founding document for our new nation, and is celebrated every year at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Each town in the Bay of Islands has its own unique culture and lifestyle – from the more up-market lifestyle focus of Kerikeri, to bustling Paihia with its focus on providing a great visitor experience, to the calming historic atmosphere of Waitangi and the Haruru Falls, and the beautiful and sometimes quirky sea-side town of Russell.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nWhen it comes to golf in the Bay of Islands, you are spoilt for choice, however, there is one stand out course that is on most golfer's bucket lists - Kauri Cliffs. Kauri Cliffs is one of New Zealand's premier golf courses and a consistent fixture in the top five courses in the country. Located above the wonderful Matauri Bay, Kauri Cliffs offers some of the most spectacular views you will find anywhere in world golf. From the minute you drive up to the gates, you know you are entering a truly special golfing environment where every detail is taken care of.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nAs well as Kauri Cliffs, there are other spectacular courses located in Northland including Waitangi, Kerikeri and Carrington.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\t\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\u003C\u002Fsection>\n    \u003Csection class=\"lists-module\">\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"content-max-width wysiwyg\">\n\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"col\">\n                                    \u003Ch3>Golf Courses\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                                                    \u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fkauri-cliffs\">Kauri Cliffs\u003C\u002Fa>\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Waitangi\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Kerikeri\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Carrington (Far North)\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\u003Ch3>Northland Golf Tours\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Ftwo-of-the-finest-8-days\">Two of the Finest - 8 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Ftwo-of-the-finest-8-days\">\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fauckland-to-bay-of-islands\">Auckland to Bay of Islands - 8 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fbest-of-the-north-island-golf-tour\">Best of the North Islands - 15 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n                            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"col-2\">\n                                    \u003Ch3>Activity Recommendations\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                                                    \u003Cul>\u003Cli>Explore the Islands by charter boat.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>A day trip to Ninety Mile Beach and Cape Reinga.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>A day trip to Hokianga and the Waipoua Kauri Forest.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Visit the beautiful town of Russell.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Diving, snorkelling and swimming with dolphins.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n                            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\u003C\u002Fsection>\n\n\n\u003C\u002Fmain>\n        \u003Cfooter class=\"site-footer\">\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"content-max-width\">\n\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"links\">\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"left\">\n                \u003Cimg src=\"\u002Fimages\u002Flogo.svg\" alt=\"Playing Around \">\n            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"right\">\n                \u003Ca href=\"tel:6495364560\" class=\"phone\">+64 9 536 4560\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003Ca href=\"mailto:info@playgolf.co.nz\" class=\"email\">info@playgolf.co.nz\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003Cdiv class=\"social\">\n                    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002FNewZealandGolf\u002F\">\u003Cspan class=\"icon-facebook\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\n                    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fplaygolfnz\u002F\">\u003Cspan class=\"icon-twitter\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"footer-legal\">\n            \u003Cp class=\"copyright\">\n                Play Golf © 2026 All rights reserved\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n            \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fterms-and-conditions\" class=\"terms\">Terms & Conditions\u003C\u002Fa>\n            \n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n    \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003C\u002Ffooter>\n        \n        \u003C!-- the js files that are compiled -->\n        \u003C!---->",{"id":50,"title":51,"slug":52,"lead_copy":53,"content":54,"courses_title":24,"courses_content":55,"activity_title":26,"activity_content":56,"hero_image":57,"thumbnail_image":58,"sort":8,"seo_title":59,"seo_keywords":8,"seo_description":60,"seo_og_title":8,"seo_og_description":8,"seo_og_image":8,"body_html":61,"status":34},6,"Christchurch","christchurch","Canterbury stretches from ocean to the Alps, a land of plains and peaks.","\u003Cp>It is a place of variety and innumerable attractions where, within two hours of an international airport, you can ski, play golf, bungy jump, go whitewater rafting, mountain biking, wind surfing, whale watching, and visit world-class vineyards and gardens. Where else in the world can you do that?\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nA must-see is New Zealand’s highest peak, Aoraki Mount Cook. Go hiking in Arthur’s Pass National Park or just wander around the picturesque bays and villages of Banks Peninsula. And then there’s New Zealand’s second-largest city, Christchurch known as ‘The Garden City’. In February 2011, Christchurch was hit by a huge earthquake. Much of the central city with its classic neo-gothic architecture was destroyed. But it remains a beautiful city, a city where you can cycle alongside the river, stay in good hotels and indulge in fine sophisticated dining, and a city where, just 15 minutes from the centre you can scramble up mountain bike tracks or ride a wave at a surf beach. The buildings may have been damaged but the soul of the city and the welcoming spirit of the people remains very much intact. Don’t miss visiting Christchurch.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nWhen it comes to golf courses in Christchurch, you are spoilt for choice with four high quality golf courses located in and around the city. The best of these is Christchurch Golf Club, also known as Shirley which is currently ranked number 16 in New Zealand's top 50 golf courses by Australian Golf Digest. Clearwater is another favourite in the region, coming in at #23 whilst Pegasus (#29) and Terrace Downs (#44) all feature in the top 50. Each course offers something a little different from the idyllic Christchurch Golf Club to the resort-style Terrace Downs.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nChristchurch is a wonderful city to explore and with no shortage of golf courses to choose from in the area, it's easy to spend a few days in and around the Garden City and squeeze in some golf at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>","\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fclearwater\">Clearwater Resort\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Christchurch GC (Shirley)\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Pegasus\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Terrace Downs\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\u003Ch3>Christchurch Golf Tours\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>Talk to the team today about a custom itinerary to include any of Christchurch's top 50 courses.\u003C\u002Fp>","\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Take a day trip to Kaikoura and go whale watching.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Visit the seaside village of Akaroa and take a cruise on the harbour.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Swim with the rare Hector Dolphin in Akaroa.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Punt on the Avon River.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Take a walk in the Botanic Gardens.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Visit the Antarctic Centre.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Travel on the TranzAlpine rail journey to Greymouth.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>","06ac4a7f-4d47-4d47-b81f-903e344ecb61","8c998db3-c912-4039-a88a-cb86efa4bd1d","Christchurch Golf Tours | Clearwater, Christchurch & More | Play Around New Zealand","Christchurch is an underrated destination for golfers with four courses featuring in NZ's top 50 and a myriad of options to choose from.

stretches from ocean to the Alps, a land of plains and peaks.\n                \u003C\u002Fh2>\n                \u003Cp>It is a place of variety and innumerable attractions where, within two hours of an international airport, you can ski, play golf, bungy jump, go whitewater rafting, mountain biking, wind surfing, whale watching, and visit world-class vineyards and gardens. Where else in the world can you do that?\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nA must-see is New Zealand’s highest peak, Aoraki Mount Cook. Go hiking in Arthur’s Pass National Park or just wander around the picturesque bays and villages of Banks Peninsula. And then there’s New Zealand’s second-largest city, Christchurch known as ‘The Garden City’. In February 2011, Christchurch was hit by a huge earthquake. Much of the central city with its classic neo-gothic architecture was destroyed. But it remains a beautiful city, a city where you can cycle alongside the river, stay in good hotels and indulge in fine sophisticated dining, and a city where, just 15 minutes from the centre you can scramble up mountain bike tracks or ride a wave at a surf beach. The buildings may have been damaged but the soul of the city and the welcoming spirit of the people remains very much intact. Don’t miss visiting Christchurch.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nWhen it comes to golf courses in Christchurch, you are spoilt for choice with four high quality golf courses located in and around the city. The best of these is Christchurch Golf Club, also known as Shirley which is currently ranked number 16 in New Zealand's top 50 golf courses by Australian Golf Digest. Clearwater is another favourite in the region, coming in at #23 whilst Pegasus (#29) and Terrace Downs (#44) all feature in the top 50. Each course offers something a little different from the idyllic Christchurch Golf Club to the resort-style Terrace Downs.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nChristchurch is a wonderful city to explore and with no shortage of golf courses to choose from in the area, it's easy to spend a few days in and around the Garden City and squeeze in some golf at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\t\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\u003C\u002Fsection>\n    \u003Csection class=\"lists-module\">\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"content-max-width wysiwyg\">\n\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"col\">\n                                    \u003Ch3>Golf Courses\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                                                    \u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fclearwater\">Clearwater Resort\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Christchurch GC (Shirley)\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Pegasus\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Terrace Downs\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\u003Ch3>Christchurch Golf Tours\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>Talk to the team today about a custom itinerary to include any of Christchurch's top 50 courses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n                            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"col-2\">\n                                    \u003Ch3>Activity recommendations\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                                                    \u003Cul>\u003Cli>Take a day trip to Kaikoura and go whale watching.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Visit the seaside village of Akaroa and take a cruise on the harbour.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Swim with the rare Hector Dolphin in Akaroa.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Punt on the Avon River.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Take a walk in the Botanic Gardens.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Visit the Antarctic Centre.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Travel on the TranzAlpine rail journey to Greymouth.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n                            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\u003C\u002Fsection>\n\n\n\u003C\u002Fmain>\n        \u003Cfooter class=\"site-footer\">\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"content-max-width\">\n\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"links\">\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"left\">\n                \u003Cimg src=\"\u002Fimages\u002Flogo.svg\" alt=\"Playing Around \">\n            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"right\">\n                \u003Ca href=\"tel:6495364560\" class=\"phone\">+64 9 536 4560\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003Ca href=\"mailto:info@playgolf.co.nz\" class=\"email\">info@playgolf.co.nz\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003Cdiv class=\"social\">\n                    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002FNewZealandGolf\u002F\">\u003Cspan class=\"icon-facebook\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\n                    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fplaygolfnz\u002F\">\u003Cspan class=\"icon-twitter\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"footer-legal\">\n            \u003Cp class=\"copyright\">\n                Play Golf © 2026 All rights reserved\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n            \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fterms-and-conditions\" class=\"terms\">Terms & Conditions\u003C\u002Fa>\n            \n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n    \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003C\u002Ffooter>\n        \n        \u003C!-- the js files that are compiled -->\n        \u003C!---->",{"id":63,"title":64,"slug":65,"lead_copy":66,"content":67,"courses_title":24,"courses_content":68,"activity_title":26,"activity_content":69,"hero_image":70,"thumbnail_image":71,"sort":8,"seo_title":72,"seo_keywords":8,"seo_description":73,"seo_og_title":8,"seo_og_description":8,"seo_og_image":8,"body_html":74,"status":34},4,"Hawkes Bay","hawkes-bay","There are two words that sit with Hawke’s Bay and they are Wine Country.","\u003Cp>Hawke’s Bay is one of New Zealand’s warmest, driest regions and this has made it one of the country’s leading producers of wine; notably red wines – cabernet sauvignon, merlot and latterly syrah – but also with some quite stunning whites. But there is much more than wine to this glorious place. It is New Zealand’s Art Deco centre, rebuilt in the 1930’s after a huge earthquake. It hosts the country’s most elaborate celebrations of Matariki – the Maori New Year. It’s a place where you can shop at the farmers market for locally grown delicacies, indulge in artisan gourmet food, and join the lunchers at Napier’s Great Long Lunch. And it’s a place where you can walk the forest trails of the Ruahine and Kaweka Forest Parks or the glorious beaches that stretch along the coast.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nWhilst the Hawke's Bay is definitely a paradise for wine lovers, for golfers, there is an equally compelling reason to head to the region - Cape Kidnappers. Possibly one of the world's most photographed golf courses, Cape Kidnappers is another staple of New Zealand's top ten golf courses and also features in the world's top 100 courses, ranked 55 in 2024. The course’s most famous hole is also its most feared, the 650-yard, par-5 15th, which falls away on both sides of the fairway and sports a horizon green perched precariously on a bluff overlooking the ocean. This is a \"must play\" on any golfer's visit to New Zealand.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nWhilst Cape Kidnappers deservingly takes all the plaudits, if you are looking for something closer to Napier, Hastings Golf Club, also known as Bridge Pa, is a wonderful course that will provide a challenge to golfers of all levels.\u003C\u002Fp>","\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fcape-kidnappers\">Cape Kidnappers\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Hastings GC (Bridge Pa)\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\u003Ch3>Hawke's Bay Golf Tours\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fauckland-to-hawkes-bay-2\">Auckland to Hawke's Bay - 8 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Ftwo-of-the-finest-8-days\">Two of the Finest - 8 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fspectacular-nz-golf-vacation\">Spectacular New Zealand - 17 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>","\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Take a tour of the world class wineries.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Enjoy lunch or dinner at Craggy Range or Elephant Hill winery.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Walk amongst the Art Deco buildings in Napier.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Visit the largest mainland gannet colony in the world at Cape Kidnappers.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Visit the national aquarium on Napier’s seafront.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>","8a48f15e-7a9e-4559-805e-734d92fb7fe2","729bc46a-d44e-4385-bdc4-e2d588764950","Hawkes Bay Golf Tour | Cape Kidnappers | Play Golf","The Hwke's Bay region is home to some of New Zealand's finest wines and one of our greatest golf courses - Cape Kidnappers.

words that sit with Hawke’s Bay and they are Wine Country.\n                \u003C\u002Fh2>\n                \u003Cp>Hawke’s Bay is one of New Zealand’s warmest, driest regions and this has made it one of the country’s leading producers of wine; notably red wines – cabernet sauvignon, merlot and latterly syrah – but also with some quite stunning whites. But there is much more than wine to this glorious place. It is New Zealand’s Art Deco centre, rebuilt in the 1930’s after a huge earthquake. It hosts the country’s most elaborate celebrations of Matariki – the Maori New Year. It’s a place where you can shop at the farmers market for locally grown delicacies, indulge in artisan gourmet food, and join the lunchers at Napier’s Great Long Lunch. And it’s a place where you can walk the forest trails of the Ruahine and Kaweka Forest Parks or the glorious beaches that stretch along the coast.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nWhilst the Hawke's Bay is definitely a paradise for wine lovers, for golfers, there is an equally compelling reason to head to the region - Cape Kidnappers. Possibly one of the world's most photographed golf courses, Cape Kidnappers is another staple of New Zealand's top ten golf courses and also features in the world's top 100 courses, ranked 55 in 2024. The course’s most famous hole is also its most feared, the 650-yard, par-5 15th, which falls away on both sides of the fairway and sports a horizon green perched precariously on a bluff overlooking the ocean. This is a \"must play\" on any golfer's visit to New Zealand.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nWhilst Cape Kidnappers deservingly takes all the plaudits, if you are looking for something closer to Napier, Hastings Golf Club, also known as Bridge Pa, is a wonderful course that will provide a challenge to golfers of all levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\t\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\u003C\u002Fsection>\n    \u003Csection class=\"lists-module\">\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"content-max-width wysiwyg\">\n\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"col\">\n                                    \u003Ch3>Golf Courses\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                                                    \u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fcape-kidnappers\">Cape Kidnappers\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Hastings GC (Bridge Pa)\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\u003Ch3>Hawke's Bay Golf Tours\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fauckland-to-hawkes-bay-2\">Auckland to Hawke's Bay - 8 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Ftwo-of-the-finest-8-days\">Two of the Finest - 8 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fspectacular-nz-golf-vacation\">Spectacular New Zealand - 17 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\n                            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"col-2\">\n                                    \u003Ch3>Activity recommendations\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                                                    \u003Cul>\u003Cli>Take a tour of the world class wineries.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Enjoy lunch or dinner at Craggy Range or Elephant Hill winery.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Walk amongst the Art Deco buildings in Napier.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Visit the largest mainland gannet colony in the world at Cape Kidnappers.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Visit the national aquarium on Napier’s seafront.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n                            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\u003C\u002Fsection>\n\n\n\u003C\u002Fmain>\n        \u003Cfooter class=\"site-footer\">\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"content-max-width\">\n\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"links\">\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"left\">\n                \u003Cimg src=\"\u002Fimages\u002Flogo.svg\" alt=\"Playing Around \">\n            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"right\">\n                \u003Ca href=\"tel:6495364560\" class=\"phone\">+64 9 536 4560\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003Ca href=\"mailto:info@playgolf.co.nz\" class=\"email\">info@playgolf.co.nz\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003Cdiv class=\"social\">\n                    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002FNewZealandGolf\u002F\">\u003Cspan class=\"icon-facebook\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\n                    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fplaygolfnz\u002F\">\u003Cspan class=\"icon-twitter\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"footer-legal\">\n            \u003Cp class=\"copyright\">\n                Play Golf © 2026 All rights reserved\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n            \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fterms-and-conditions\" class=\"terms\">Terms & Conditions\u003C\u002Fa>\n            \n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n    \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003C\u002Ffooter>\n        \n        \u003C!-- the js files that are compiled -->\n        \u003C!---->",{"id":76,"title":77,"slug":78,"lead_copy":79,"content":80,"courses_title":24,"courses_content":81,"activity_title":26,"activity_content":82,"hero_image":83,"thumbnail_image":84,"sort":8,"seo_title":85,"seo_keywords":8,"seo_description":86,"seo_og_title":8,"seo_og_description":8,"seo_og_image":8,"body_html":87,"status":34},7,"Queenstown","queenstown","Queenstown is the New Zealand destination for international visitors.","\u003Cp>Its natural beauty changes with the seasons, the lake gleams in the summer sun, and snow clad mountains tower above the township in winter. Queenstown is a great place to visit all year round. Nestled in beside the mysterious Lake Wakatipu, in the Southern Lakes district of New Zealand, Queenstown is a cosmopolitan haven, offering a limitless adventure, southern wine and cuisine, and breath-taking alpine scenery.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nQueenstown is one of New Zealand's premier tourist destinations and for good reason. It is known as the adventure capital of New Zealand with a wide range of adrenaline-fuelled activities to try including bungy jumping, river boarding, zip lining, whitewater rafting, jet boating and more. If you're after something a bit more relaxing, the Otago region in which Queenstown sits is one of the country's premier wine growing regions, famous for the Pinot Noir varietal. \n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nQueenstown really does offer a bit of something for everyone and it is no surprise to see visitors from around the world flocking to Queenstown throughout the year.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nAs well as being home to some of New Zealand's most exhilarating activities, Queenstown is also widely regarded as one of the premier golfing destinations in the country, playing home to five world-class courses, all within short driving distance of each other. Millbrook is the home of the New Zealand Golf Open and with 36 holes to choose from and a fantastic array of eating venues on site, it is easy to see why many  visitors to Queenstown head to Millbrook Resort.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nIf you are looking for spectacular views, look no further than Jacks Point - another of New Zealand's most photographed golf courses with spectacular views over Lake Wakatipu. The Hills is another spectacular course and Playing Around New Zealand is one of the trusted golf tour operators who can book tee times at this exclusive golf course. \n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nWith more courses in Australian Golf Digest's top 50 than any other destinations, it's easy to see why Queenstown is a golfing mecca for Kiwis and international visitors alike. Jack's Point leads the way (#5), followed by The Hills (#8), Arrowtown (#9), Millbrook Coronet (#11), Millbrook Remarkables (#20) and Queenstown (#32).\u003C\u002Fp>","\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fjacks-point\">Jacks Point\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fmillbrook\">Millbrook\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fthe-hills\">The Hills\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Queenstown GC (Kelvin Heights)\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Arrowtown\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\u003Ch3>Queenstown Golf Tours\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fqueenstown-1\">Queenstown - 8 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fqueenstown-1\">\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fbest-of-new-zealand-golf-tour\">Best of New Zealand Golf Tour - 15 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fspectacular-nz-golf-vacation\">Spectacular New Zealand Golf Vacation - 17 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>","\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Take the gondola to the Bobs Peak and enjoy panoramic views of the region.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Tour the Central Otago wineries where Pinot Noir is a speciality.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Visit Arrowtown, a quaint village with a gold mining history.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Partake in one of the several adrenalin adventures including bungee jumping, white water rafting, skydiving or jet boating.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Trust the chef at Amisfield Winery.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Take a scenic flight to Milford Sound or a nature cruise on Doubtful Sound.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Visit Walter Peak Farm via the TSS Earnslaw (see image).\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>","262e2647-efc6-4b46-aecf-3458d7ba2b86","aa9a1159-384d-4486-be6b-973dd579dbbb","Queenstown Golf Tours | Jack's Point, Millbrook & More | Play Around New Zealand","Queenstown is one of New Zealand's premier golfing destinations and home to six courses all found in NZ's top 50.

New Zealand destination for international visitors. \n                \u003C\u002Fh2>\n                \u003Cp>Its natural beauty changes with the seasons, the lake gleams in the summer sun, and snow clad mountains tower above the township in winter. Queenstown is a great place to visit all year round. Nestled in beside the mysterious Lake Wakatipu, in the Southern Lakes district of New Zealand, Queenstown is a cosmopolitan haven, offering a limitless adventure, southern wine and cuisine, and breath-taking alpine scenery.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nQueenstown is one of New Zealand's premier tourist destinations and for good reason. It is known as the adventure capital of New Zealand with a wide range of adrenaline-fuelled activities to try including bungy jumping, river boarding, zip lining, whitewater rafting, jet boating and more. If you're after something a bit more relaxing, the Otago region in which Queenstown sits is one of the country's premier wine growing regions, famous for the Pinot Noir varietal. \n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nQueenstown really does offer a bit of something for everyone and it is no surprise to see visitors from around the world flocking to Queenstown throughout the year.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nAs well as being home to some of New Zealand's most exhilarating activities, Queenstown is also widely regarded as one of the premier golfing destinations in the country, playing home to five world-class courses, all within short driving distance of each other. Millbrook is the home of the New Zealand Golf Open and with 36 holes to choose from and a fantastic array of eating venues on site, it is easy to see why many  visitors to Queenstown head to Millbrook Resort.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nIf you are looking for spectacular views, look no further than Jacks Point - another of New Zealand's most photographed golf courses with spectacular views over Lake Wakatipu. The Hills is another spectacular course and Playing Around New Zealand is one of the trusted golf tour operators who can book tee times at this exclusive golf course. \n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nWith more courses in Australian Golf Digest's top 50 than any other destinations, it's easy to see why Queenstown is a golfing mecca for Kiwis and international visitors alike. Jack's Point leads the way (#5), followed by The Hills (#8), Arrowtown (#9), Millbrook Coronet (#11), Millbrook Remarkables (#20) and Queenstown (#32).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\t\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\u003C\u002Fsection>\n    \u003Csection class=\"lists-module\">\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"content-max-width wysiwyg\">\n\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"col\">\n                                    \u003Ch3>Golf Courses\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                                                    \u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fjacks-point\">Jacks Point\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fmillbrook\">Millbrook\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fthe-hills\">The Hills\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Queenstown GC (Kelvin Heights)\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Arrowtown\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\u003Ch3>Queenstown Golf Tours\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fqueenstown-1\">Queenstown - 8 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fqueenstown-1\">\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fbest-of-new-zealand-golf-tour\">Best of New Zealand Golf Tour - 15 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fspectacular-nz-golf-vacation\">Spectacular New Zealand Golf Vacation - 17 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\n                            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"col-2\">\n                                    \u003Ch3>Activity recommendations\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                                                    \u003Cul>\u003Cli>Take the gondola to the Bobs Peak and enjoy panoramic views of the region.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Tour the Central Otago wineries where Pinot Noir is a speciality.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Visit Arrowtown, a quaint village with a gold mining history.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Partake in one of the several adrenalin adventures including bungee jumping, white water rafting, skydiving or jet boating.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Trust the chef at Amisfield Winery.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Take a scenic flight to Milford Sound or a nature cruise on Doubtful Sound.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Visit Walter Peak Farm via the TSS Earnslaw (see image).\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n                            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\u003C\u002Fsection>\n\n\n\u003C\u002Fmain>\n        \u003Cfooter class=\"site-footer\">\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"content-max-width\">\n\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"links\">\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"left\">\n                \u003Cimg src=\"\u002Fimages\u002Flogo.svg\" alt=\"Playing Around \">\n            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"right\">\n                \u003Ca href=\"tel:6495364560\" class=\"phone\">+64 9 536 4560\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003Ca href=\"mailto:info@playgolf.co.nz\" class=\"email\">info@playgolf.co.nz\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003Cdiv class=\"social\">\n                    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002FNewZealandGolf\u002F\">\u003Cspan class=\"icon-facebook\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\n                    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fplaygolfnz\u002F\">\u003Cspan class=\"icon-twitter\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"footer-legal\">\n            \u003Cp class=\"copyright\">\n                Play Golf © 2026 All rights reserved\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n            \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fterms-and-conditions\" class=\"terms\">Terms & Conditions\u003C\u002Fa>\n            \n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n    \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003C\u002Ffooter>\n        \n        \u003C!-- the js files that are compiled -->\n        \u003C!---->",{"id":89,"title":90,"slug":91,"lead_copy":92,"content":93,"courses_title":24,"courses_content":94,"activity_title":26,"activity_content":95,"hero_image":96,"thumbnail_image":97,"sort":8,"seo_title":98,"seo_keywords":8,"seo_description":99,"seo_og_title":8,"seo_og_description":8,"seo_og_image":8,"body_html":100,"status":34},3,"Rotorua & Taupo","rotorua-taupo","Rotorua is one place where the turbulent forces that formed New Zealand are most evident. This city, on the Volcanic Plateau, has one of the world’s most lively fields of geothermal activity.","\u003Cp>Skyrocketing geysers, hot springs and boiling mud pools all tell you that this place sits squarely on the Pacific Rim of Fire. Rotorua is also the ancestral home of the Te Arawa people who settled here more than 600 years ago and their presence offers the visitor numerous cultural experiences.\nSee the clear blue waters on a summer’s day and Lake Taupo can appear the most beautiful and tranquil place in New Zealand. Appearances deceive. Taupo is more than a lake. It is a volcano with no top – a top that was blown off in one of the largest and most devastating eruptions ever seen on the planet. Visit the Craters of the Moon and you will see evidence of its fiery birth in the geysers, steaming craters and boiling mud pools.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nWhilst Rotorua and Taupo may be famous for their geothermal attractions, the golf in the area is also of the higest calibre, making it one of New Zealand's premier golfing destinations.

place where the turbulent forces that formed New Zealand are most evident. This city, on the Volcanic Plateau, has one of the world’s most lively fields of geothermal activity.\n                \u003C\u002Fh2>\n                \u003Cp>Skyrocketing geysers, hot springs and boiling mud pools all tell you that this place sits squarely on the Pacific Rim of Fire. Rotorua is also the ancestral home of the Te Arawa people who settled here more than 600 years ago and their presence offers the visitor numerous cultural experiences.\nSee the clear blue waters on a summer’s day and Lake Taupo can appear the most beautiful and tranquil place in New Zealand. Appearances deceive. Taupo is more than a lake. It is a volcano with no top – a top that was blown off in one of the largest and most devastating eruptions ever seen on the planet. Visit the Craters of the Moon and you will see evidence of its fiery birth in the geysers, steaming craters and boiling mud pools.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nWhilst Rotorua and Taupo may be famous for their geothermal attractions, the golf in the area is also of the higest calibre, making it one of New Zealand's premier golfing destinations. The two main courses on most golfer's bucket lists are Wairakei and Kinloch. Wairakei is located within a nature sanctuary and has been referred to as the Augusta of the Southern Hemisphere. Recent developments to a number of holes has elevated Wairakei to the next level and it currently sits just outside the top ten courses in the country.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nKinloch is New Zealand's only golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus and attracts visitors from around the world every year to enjoy this wonderful and challenging course. Kinloch is currently rated as New Zealand's fourth best golf course by Australian Golf Digest and is a \"must play\" for golfers on a New Zealand break.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nHandily located in the centre of the North Island, Taupo is a great stop off point on a trip south from Auckland, heading towards another famous golfing region - the Hawke's Bay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\t\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\u003C\u002Fsection>\n    \u003Csection class=\"lists-module\">\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"content-max-width wysiwyg\">\n\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"col\">\n                                    \u003Ch3>Golf Courses\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                                                    \u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fthe-kinloch-club\">Kinloch\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fwairakei-golf-and-sanctuary\">Wairakei Golf and Sanctuary\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Rotorua GC (Arikikapakapa)\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\u003Ch3>Rotorua and Taupo Golf Packages\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fauckland-to-hawkes-bay-2\">Auckland to Hawke's Bay - 8 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fbest-of-new-zealand-golf-tour\">Best of New Zealand Golf Tour - 15 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fultimate-new-zealand-golf-vacation\">Ultimate New Zealand Golf Vacation - 20 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\n                            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"col-2\">\n                                    \u003Ch3>Activity recommendations\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                                                    \u003Cul>\u003Cli>Visit Huka Falls and the geothermal parks at Wai O Tapu or Te Puia.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Enjoy a relaxing massage or treatment at the world class Polynesian Spa.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Visit a Maori village and experience a cultural show.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Take a twilight cruise on Lake Taupo.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Experience fly-fishing in the pristine rivers.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Take a hike in the Tongariro National Park.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n                            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\u003C\u002Fsection>\n\n\n\u003C\u002Fmain>\n        \u003Cfooter class=\"site-footer\">\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"content-max-width\">\n\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"links\">\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"left\">\n                \u003Cimg src=\"\u002Fimages\u002Flogo.svg\" alt=\"Playing Around \">\n            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"right\">\n                \u003Ca href=\"tel:6495364560\" class=\"phone\">+64 9 536 4560\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003Ca href=\"mailto:info@playgolf.co.nz\" class=\"email\">info@playgolf.co.nz\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003Cdiv class=\"social\">\n                    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002FNewZealandGolf\u002F\">\u003Cspan class=\"icon-facebook\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\n                    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fplaygolfnz\u002F\">\u003Cspan class=\"icon-twitter\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"footer-legal\">\n            \u003Cp class=\"copyright\">\n                Play Golf © 2026 All rights reserved\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n            \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fterms-and-conditions\" class=\"terms\">Terms & Conditions\u003C\u002Fa>\n            \n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n    \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003C\u002Ffooter>\n        \n        \u003C!-- the js files that are compiled -->\n        \u003C!---->",{"id":102,"title":103,"slug":104,"lead_copy":105,"content":106,"courses_title":24,"courses_content":107,"activity_title":26,"activity_content":108,"hero_image":109,"thumbnail_image":110,"sort":8,"seo_title":111,"seo_keywords":8,"seo_description":112,"seo_og_title":8,"seo_og_description":8,"seo_og_image":8,"body_html":113,"status":34},5,"Wellington","wellington-1","Wellington is New Zealand’s capital city and one of the most picturesque.","\u003Cp>Wellington is known as New Zealand’s arts and cultural capital and if you enjoy the arts this is the place to visit. Visit the galleries, go and see the world-class New Zealand Symphony Orchestra or the Royal New Zealand Ballet. Keep an eye out for the public sculpture or follow the Writers’ Walk along the waterfront. Here you will find Te Papa Tongarewa. Te Papa, as it’s colloquially known, means ‘our place’ and it presents New Zealand’s story through art and interactive display. Te Papa is a must visit. Wellington has a vibrant café scene and some of the best restaurants in the country. It’s a city that enjoys fine food and great coffee!\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nNew Zealand's capital city is not just home to culture and coffee - it is also home to two of our premier golf courses. Paraparaumu boasts the prestigious honour of being only one of two golf courses that Tiger Woods has played here in New Zealand, the other being the little known South Head in Auckland. In the most recent Australian Golf Digest rankings, Paraparaumu shot up to number three on the list of New Zealand's best golf courses behind Tara Iti and Te Arai South and has fast become a \"must play\" on any New Zealand golf tour.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nIf you have a couple of days to spare in Wellington, it's also worth adding Royal Wellington to your list of courses to play. Currently ranked as the 13th best course in the country, it's a great challenge for golfers of all levels.\u003C\u002Fp>","\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fparaparaumu\">Paraparaumu Beach\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Froyal-wellington\">Royal Wellington\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\u003Ch3>Wellington Golf Tours\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fbest-of-the-north-island-golf-tour\">Best of the North Island - 15 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>","\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Visit the Te Papa Museum followed by a tour of Parliament.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Enjoy superb coffee and a relaxed vibe in the inner city cafes.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Take the Wellington Cable Car to the Botanic Gardens and the Carter Observatory.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Dine at Logan Brown, one of New Zealand’s finest restaurants.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Take a tour of the Weta Cave Workshop.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>","398805f3-30a8-4adc-a5c4-b857af39fcde","b2263480-f39b-4619-a845-b1125e3e1eb8","Welington Golf Tours | Paraparaumu & Royal Wellington | Play Around New Zealand","Wellington is not always known as one of New Zealand's premier golf destinations, however with two world class courses located there, it should be.

Zealand’s capital city and one of the most picturesque.\n                \u003C\u002Fh2>\n                \u003Cp>Wellington is known as New Zealand’s arts and cultural capital and if you enjoy the arts this is the place to visit. Visit the galleries, go and see the world-class New Zealand Symphony Orchestra or the Royal New Zealand Ballet. Keep an eye out for the public sculpture or follow the Writers’ Walk along the waterfront. Here you will find Te Papa Tongarewa. Te Papa, as it’s colloquially known, means ‘our place’ and it presents New Zealand’s story through art and interactive display. Te Papa is a must visit. Wellington has a vibrant café scene and some of the best restaurants in the country. It’s a city that enjoys fine food and great coffee!\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nNew Zealand's capital city is not just home to culture and coffee - it is also home to two of our premier golf courses. Paraparaumu boasts the prestigious honour of being only one of two golf courses that Tiger Woods has played here in New Zealand, the other being the little known South Head in Auckland. In the most recent Australian Golf Digest rankings, Paraparaumu shot up to number three on the list of New Zealand's best golf courses behind Tara Iti and Te Arai South and has fast become a \"must play\" on any New Zealand golf tour.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nIf you have a couple of days to spare in Wellington, it's also worth adding Royal Wellington to your list of courses to play. Currently ranked as the 13th best course in the country, it's a great challenge for golfers of all levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\t\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\u003C\u002Fsection>\n    \u003Csection class=\"lists-module\">\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"content-max-width wysiwyg\">\n\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"col\">\n                                    \u003Ch3>Golf Courses\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                                                    \u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fparaparaumu\">Paraparaumu Beach\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Froyal-wellington\">Royal Wellington\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\u003Ch3>Wellington Golf Tours\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fbest-of-the-north-island-golf-tour\">Best of the North Island - 15 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\n                            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"col-2\">\n                                    \u003Ch3>Activity recommendations\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                                                    \u003Cul>\u003Cli>Visit the Te Papa Museum followed by a tour of Parliament.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Enjoy superb coffee and a relaxed vibe in the inner city cafes.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Take the Wellington Cable Car to the Botanic Gardens and the Carter Observatory.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Dine at Logan Brown, one of New Zealand’s finest restaurants.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Take a tour of the Weta Cave Workshop.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n                            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\u003C\u002Fsection>\n\n\n\u003C\u002Fmain>\n        \u003Cfooter class=\"site-footer\">\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"content-max-width\">\n\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"links\">\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"left\">\n                \u003Cimg src=\"\u002Fimages\u002Flogo.svg\" alt=\"Playing Around \">\n            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"right\">\n                \u003Ca href=\"tel:6495364560\" class=\"phone\">+64 9 536 4560\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003Ca href=\"mailto:info@playgolf.co.nz\" class=\"email\">info@playgolf.co.nz\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003Cdiv class=\"social\">\n                    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002FNewZealandGolf\u002F\">\u003Cspan class=\"icon-facebook\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\n                    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fplaygolfnz\u002F\">\u003Cspan class=\"icon-twitter\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"footer-legal\">\n            \u003Cp class=\"copyright\">\n                Play Golf © 2026 All rights reserved\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n            \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fterms-and-conditions\" class=\"terms\">Terms & Conditions\u003C\u002Fa>\n            \n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n    \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003C\u002Ffooter>\n        \n        \u003C!-- the js files that are compiled -->\n        \u003C!---->"]
