Q: Why do we look to New Zealand as a great golfing destination?
A: For the country's ability to provide unique experiences which can not be easily had on one's home course.
Lake Taupo is a great example! Located in the center of the North Island, this region not only provides beautiful scenery via a crystal-clear lake, water falls and active thermal activity; but it is also in close proximity to other natural wonders like glow worm caves.
One of the courses in the area that may be of interest to both golfer and bird enthusiast is Wairakei. As an active sanctuary this course is fenced from predators and home to dozens of bird species- including sixteen kiwi chicks!
Per the latest Wairakei update: "Most of the kiwi were taken from the wild as eggs and incubated at Kiwi Encounter, Rainbow Springs Nature Park, Rotorua. Three to four weeks after hatch the young chicks were brought to Wairakei where they will stay for approximately 6 months or until they reach around 1200g when they are more likely to be able to defend themselves from their most common predator, the stoat."
