You are taking time to visit New Zealand to play golf and it should be a special time! Our team understands that this often entails weighing a number of factors outside of just great golf locations. While some may visit New Zealand to play its top courses, and forgo other activities altogether, others will wish to play more casually and incorporate things like family-friendly tours, wine-tasting & cuisine, and cultural experiences.
The way that The Best of New Zealand works is hand-in-hand with you to provide help in your decision-making process but also hand-in-hand with our partners in New Zealand! This produces the best possible trip for you. Our goal is to balance our own experience throughout the country with a number of factors that pertain to your situation- producing something special.
A few points to think about in your planning process and course selection may be:
- Overall Course design (architecture, strategy, fun)
- Cost (greens fees, caddies, etc.)
- Pace of play (i.e. walking vs cart, length of course)
- Ease of logistics (i.e. efficient use of transportation and time) within an itinerary
- Proximity to other activities within the country outside of the rounds of golf
- The condition of the courses given time of year/ upkeep
- How much time one has within the country (North Island v South Island v both)
While some golf locations consistently maintain a high level of conditioning, we keep current with course conditions and stay wary of changes that may take away from your overall enjoyment. This applies to not only golf but to accommodations, tours and activities. In the end, nobody wants to spend time and capital to take a vacation only come away with a sour taste in their mouth due to an unplayable course, unfriendly service or over-crowded tour.
