The Kinloch Club—One of the Country’s Finest Marquee Courses

This is the only Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course in New Zealand—he designed it and turned up to cut the ribbon.

Located on the rustic backblocks off SH1 overlooking Lake Taupō, the extraordinary character of this golf course, the dedication of its long-time resident professional, Tom Long, and the opening of first-class accommodation with Kinloch Manor, have seen The Kinloch Club persevere to become one of the country’s must-stay-and-play sites.

Sir Bob Charles summed it up nicely when he said, “For those unable to play the great links of Scotland, Kinloch compares with the best of them.”

Warning: spend time on the driving range and practice putting green before heading out. Here, undulating fairways and rolling greens take no prisoners.

The par-3 15th is among the most challenging short holes you’ll ever play and the par-5 18th is the best closing hole in the country.

Kinloch Manor and Villas lists among the finest accommodation in the region and locally sourced ingredients are the secret to its award-winning cuisine.

The Manor Residence and Den, with its oak floors, open fireplace, full kitchen and private terrace, is first class.

Kinloch’s helicopter is available for sightseeing over Lake Taupō and Tongariro National Park.
