Bay of Islands
Northland is a lush, subtropical region at the top of New Zealand’s North Island, framed by the Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea. Its spectacular coastline encompasses secluded beaches, sheltered bays and the island-dotted waters of the Bay of Islands, alongside charming towns such as historic Russell. Rich in Māori culture and New Zealand history, the region is also home to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, while further north the dramatic landscapes of Ninety Mile Beach lead towards Cape Reinga.
Northland is also home to some exceptional golfing experiences. Kauri Cliffs, designed by David Harman, combines a memorable golfing challenge with spectacular views across the Pacific Ocean, while Waitangi Golf Club offers an ever-changing course complemented by panoramic views of the sea and Bay of Islands.
For another truly memorable experience, Te Arai Links combines extraordinary golf with one of New Zealand’s most beautiful coastal settings. Framed by rolling dunes, white-sand beaches and expansive views across the Pacific Ocean, its two world-class links courses offer an experience that feels wonderfully removed from the everyday. With luxury accommodation and dining completing the experience, Te Arai Links invites guests to slow down, soak up the surroundings and enjoy a very special corner of New Zealand
Northland, New Zealand has epic scenery and activities around every bend. Experience dolphins in their natural environment, the warmest water in New Zealand, vibrant Maori culture, delicious wines and hidden gems all within a subtropical climate!
You’re never more than 40 kms from the coast where you’ll see the most sublime variety of gorgeous beaches, coves and harbours to be found on the planet.
Located on a spectacular coastal strip just 75 minutes north of Auckland, Te Arai Links offers a premier golfing destination. The resort boasts two 18-hole championship courses: the South Course, designed by Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw, and the North Course, designed by Tom Doak. Both courses are true links layouts, with exposed sand dunes, fast fescue turf, and incredible views of the Pacific Ocean.
Starting and finishing on the Ocean, the 18 hole, par 71 North golf course has been designed as a traditional walking links golf experience. Designed by Tom Doak, the same designer as sister course, Tara Iti (ranked #6 in the world), you can expect the North Course near the top of its class. Playing very differently than the South Course, with more inland golf and unique green shapes, you decide which is your favourite.
Kauri Cliffs features 18 holes of golf designed by David Harman. 15 holes have spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, 6 of which are played alongside cliffs that plunge to the sea. Both the Cavalli Islands and Cape Brett provide additional backdrop.
It has received numerous accolades and awards including being ranked among the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World. The course is attached to The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs, a luxury Relais & Chateaux Lodge featuring 22 suites and a two-bedroom Owner's Cottage. The property has three private beaches with multiple activities available.
