Kauri Cliffs: Northland’s Iconic Coastal Course

In New Zealand’s far north, where native forest meets the sea, lies one of the most spectacular golf courses in the world. Kauri Cliffs, located in the Northland region of the North Island, delivers more than just championship golf. It combines dramatic coastal views, luxury accommodation, and world-class service into a single unforgettable destination.

Golf With a View

Designed by David Harman, the par-72 course at Kauri Cliffs features 18 holes of pure beauty and strategy. While every hole has something special to offer, 15 provide sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. Six of those holes run right along the cliffs, with the Cavalli Islands visible in the distance.

For instance, the 7th hole plays steeply downhill toward the sea. The 15th demands precision along the cliffs before reaching a green framed by endless blue. Each hole is crafted to challenge, but also to inspire. Multiple tee boxes allow players of all levels to enjoy the course, making it both demanding and inviting.

More Than Just Golf

Kauri Cliffs offers more than exceptional play. In fact, many guests come for the full experience. The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs is one of New Zealand’s finest luxury lodges. Set above the course with panoramic views, it features spacious suites, elegant furnishings, and a relaxed atmosphere.

Guests often extend their stays to enjoy the spa, private beaches, and scenic walking trails throughout the property. Whether you prefer an early morning tee time or a quiet afternoon in the lodge, the setting invites rest and renewal.

How to Get There

Although Kauri Cliffs feels far from the everyday, it is surprisingly accessible. You can drive from Auckland in about 3.5 hours. Alternatively, a quick domestic flight will take you to Kerikeri, just 50 minutes from the course.
