The course ranks among the finest courses in New Zealand, and reopened in 2009 after a renovation by Greg Turner and Scott Macpherson.

This remote course is a true hidden gem among New Zealand’s golf facilities. It convinces by its location and layout in the splendid landscapes at the southern tip of the South Island.
