If you love to play golf, Te Arai Links on New Zealand’s North Island should be your most important travel destination. The stunning property has two championship-caliber links golf courses, four accommodation bedrooms, and a beautiful stretch of Pacific coastline. It is the type of place where you can enjoy waking up to the sound of the surf, tee off with an ocean background, and finish your day with a gourmet dinner while watching the sun drop on the horizon.

Designed by the famous architect Tom Doak, the North Course is an entertaining mix of coastal views and inland drama. The first and last holes are along the ocean’s edge, producing that lovely seaside start and finish to your round. In between the two holes, the routing goes inland through ridges and valleys, including naturally occurring sandscapes, deep bunkers, and elevated tees that alter how you play each hole.
A highlight for many players is the stretch of golf holes that surround the ancient Māori pa site. Considering a historic and cultural landmark within the framework of a game is a special treat. Doak’s design rewards the creative golfer and thoughtful club selection, meaning that even the best players must stay focused.
Just across the property, the South Course by Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw offers a different personality. Sixteen holes have ocean views and eight play along the water. The design uses the natural contours of the dunes to shape the fairways and greens, and fast-running fescue turf makes use of the ground game links golf is known for.
On windy days, the South Course becomes even more interesting, asking you to manage trajectories and use creativity around the greens. Whether you are a scratch player or a high handicap golfer, multiple tee options provide an effective opportunity to match the challenge to your game.
Te Arai Links is more than just a golf resort, it is a destination. There are accommodations with beautiful ocean views in stylish, comfortable suites, and there are also 4 bedroom villas that embody the relaxed coastal design/lifestyle. There is a wide range of food/drink options of the highest quality. All menus feature New Zealand seafood, fresh produce grown locally, and excellent wines.
Off the course, you can enjoy The Playground, a 2.5-acre putting green that’s one of the largest in the world. Non-golfing activities include paddleboarding, yoga, horseback riding along the beach, and even scenic helicopter tours. It’s the perfect setting for couples, groups, or golf professionals leading a destination trip.
Te Arai Links is about 90 minutes north of Auckland, making it an easy first or last stop on a North Island golf itinerary. Its proximity to the exclusive Tara Iti and other top courses means you can create a multi-day golf journey packed with variety and world-class play.
From the artistry of the course design to the depth of the full resort experience, Te Arai Links is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about golf destinations in the Southern Hemisphere. It offers the rare chance to play two top-ranked courses in one location, each with its own character, while enjoying all the comforts of a luxury coastal retreat.
