Christian EderNovember 16, 2017Awesome!You have to play with brain, but you can enjoy the landscape. 250 NZD are not cheap, but it is well maintainced
Zhang LeiMarch 18, 2020This is an awesome course. It is definitely worth a visit. A typical Jack Nicklaus design, there are tons of bunkers placed at the strategic locations. And the friendly staffs worked very hard to maintain the course to a superior condition. Probably the best and toughest links course in New Zealand.
