New Zealand is a place where the undeniable pleasure of a round of golf is intensified by some of the most magnificent scenery in the world. Here, views of snow-capped mountains, sandy beaches, rolling hills, lakes and sea, often drive a player to distraction.

New Zealand has 400+ golf courses, more per capita than anywhere else on earth. It is little wonder that Golf is New Zealand's number one participation sport. Most courses are easily accesible to the public, plus there are courses to suit players of all abilities.

With GolfTourNZ you can play courses all over the North and South islands, or if you've only time to experience the very best, why not try some of our World Class courses.

Many have hosted National and International competitions and provide a true test for the best professionals. Others are designed for club players with different tee positions to suit all skill levels.

Another important element of Golf in New Zealand is the people. We're proud of our reputation as friendly kiwi's and you'll sooner discover why.

Golf in New Zealand is a truly memorable experience. At its best the weather is warm and calm, the fairways smooth and flat, the greens soft and true, and of course there's the awe inspiring views, that make playing here truly unique.

In New Zealand golf is played all year round with the major club competition season generally running from March to November to coincide with peak times of grass growth. The summer months, November - March, sees an increase in the number of social players taking advantage of daylight savings and the consequently longer, summer evenings.

While all clubs water their greens in summer, many of the smaller clubs don't have fairway irrigation. Consequently, hard and dry conditions during hot summer months can see golfers hitting career best drives of over 300 yards! These courses are at their best during Spring and early Summer.
