Rotorua Golf Club

One of the most beautiful and most striking golf courses in New Zealand. The Arikikapakapa course of the Rotorua Golf Club is located in the geothermal area of Whakarewarewa, a Maori district in Rotorua. It is a links course that measures 5,799 meters in total. The course of the Rotorua Golf Club was constructed between 1912 and 1917 by Charles Redhead. The particular highlight: The 18 hole, par-70 course stretches out over the thermal fields of Rotorua. Many holes run over either dormant or active thermal fields, winding past boiling mud pools, steaming-hot lakes, and simply breath-takingly beautiful nature. The fairways run past sulphurous mud pools and dormant geysers. Many of the pothole bunkers are actually inactive fumaroles. At the Rotorua Golf Club, each hole has a different character, with the constant flux of geothermal energy in the ground actually changing them every now and then. Steaming lakes, deep craters, blubbering mud holes – the course of the Rotorua Rolf Club requires both skill and daring! You can delight in the views of the spectacular volcanic landscape as a reward. On site, you will find a very well-equipped pro shop that also rents out golfcarts, motor bikes, and the like. Guests are welcome year-round, and they can also make use of the practice area, service rooms, and the golf restaurant. The drive from Auckland to Rotorua takes around three and a half hours. The city is located by the lake of the same name, which is the second largest lake of New Zealand, exceeded in size only by Lake Taupo.
