Golf in Mountain Scenery - Playing High!
Golf in New Zealand is an experience for more than just the love of the sport. With world class courses in spectacular settings, all your senses are rewarded. We know some of our international visitors particularly enjoy our mountain scenery, so here’s our pick of some of the best courses with "peaks" in New Zealand.
Jack’s Point
This world class 18 hole championship golf course is set within a 3,000 acre nature preserve adjacent to Queenstown. It has sweeping lake and alpine vistas with a 360-degree mountainscape. The course is bounded by the Remarkables mountain range and Lake Wakatipu. It traverses through wetlands to the lake’s edge encountering steep bluffs, indigenous vegetation and wildlife and is designed to work with nature, not against it. The fairways have been designed with minimal excavation and careful plantings to complement the natural environment.
