Taupo New Zealand For Your Golf Vacation

Taupo is located in the center of the North Island of New Zealand. This central location works well for a New Zealand holiday but in particular a golfing vacation.

There are four golf courses in Taupo and there are additional excellent courses such as the renowned Cape Kidnappers, an easy one hours drive away.

Lake Taupo was formed in a massive eruption in 186 AD, that covered the plateau with pumice providing a free draining substrate that enables golf to be played 365 days of the year.

Two international standard courses, Kinloch Club and Wairakei Golf are just a minutes from the town center.

The Kinloch course, designed by Jack Nicklaus, is on the shores of Lake Taupo and is just twenty minutes from the town centre. Designed around a natural environment and with lovely lake views it is the only Jack Nicklaus Signature course in New Zealand. When it opened in 2007 it was ranked in the top 10 new golf courses in the world by the US Travel and Leisure magazine.

Five minutes drive north of the town, in the geothermal area is Wairakei International, surrounded by a pest fence to create a sanctuary for native birds. A long course with the length from the championship tees being 6444 metres and with 108 large well-positioned bunkers it is a top choice for New Zealanders.

The two local courses Tahara and Centennial provide economical golfing on high standard, enjoyable courses and are conveniently located right in the town.

Just one hour's drive away is the world class Cape Kidnappers Course, situated inside a working farm and overlooking a gannet colony. The views of the coastline are spectacular views while spa facilities and the clubhouse are exceptional. There are overnight accommodation options on the property, but most golfers elect to return to their Taupo accommodation after their round.

Visitors may fly into Auckland International Airport and then drive the four hours to Taupo or alternatively fly on down to Taupo Airport. There are excellent Taupo accommodation options in Taupo and many fine local restaurants to complement a memorable golfing vacation.
