Golf

Playing golf in Northland - where else?

There’s something special about tossing your clubs in the back of the car and driving north toward warmer breezes and coastal views.

Having spent many clear, crisp mornings teeing off across the Far North, I’ve come to realize that golfing up here isn’t just about putting together a solid scorecard—it’s about the journey, the character of the local clubs, and the sheer variety of play available within a short drive.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing weekend round, a walk through Northland’s deep golfing history, or a bucket-list championship experience, Northland delivers like nowhere else in New Zealand.
