Putt for birdie at an exclusive golf course

Wairakei International Golf Course is one of New Zealand’s most exclusive golf courses, where nature and golf blend together. Taking full advantage of the scenic Lake Taupo, the course was built right in the middle of the North Island by the New Zealand government.

Voted as New Zealand's number 1 golf course
Situated on over 180 hectares of the native landscape
Built by the New Zealand government, the 18 hole course features exceptional beauty
The architecture was assigned to Commander John Harris, England’s leading and most travelled golf course architect

With the official grand opening in 1970, this 180-hectare site of rolling countryside and native flora and fauna was designed by John Harris. A well-known golf course architect from the United Kingdom. Enjoy a round of golf and soak up the surrounding landscape.

For keen golfers, this is a course to tick off your bucket list. You can rent golf clubs, shoes and balls at the golf club. Finished your 18-rounds of golf at the championship course? There is plenty to see in the area.
