Golf in New Zealand
New Zealand has some of the most spectacular golf in the world: clifftop courses above the Pacific, a Jack Nicklaus course on a volcanic lake, and Queenstown, where three championship courses sit within about 15 minutes of each other beneath the mountains.
Every trip is built for your group: the courses you want to play, the hotels or lodges you want to stay in, and as much of the country as you like around the golf. We quote it, our team on the ground runs it.

Where you play
When to go
The seasons are the reverse of ours. October to April is the golf season, with December to February the high summer. Many of Queenstown's courses stay open through the winter, June to August, with snow on the mountains and lower green fees: wrap up, and we book afternoon tee times after the morning frost.

Good to know
- New Zealand: no visa needed to visit for up to 6 months, but you must have a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) before you travel. Apply online or through the official NZeTA app, and allow up to 72 hours. It lasts up to 2 years.
- You pay the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) when you request your NZeTA. A fee applies for both: check the current amounts with Immigration New Zealand.
- Your passport must have an expiry date at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave New Zealand, and you must be able to show a return or onward ticket.
- Complete the New Zealand Traveller Declaration before you arrive: you can submit it from 24 hours before your journey begins. Most food cannot be brought in, and New Zealand enforces this strictly.
- Travelling on another passport? Check your own government's advice.
