AUCKLAND
GOLF GUIDE
Golf
is the highest participation sport in NZ. There are
419 golf courses in New Zealand. Golf in New Zealand
is very affordable. Whatever your budget, NZ has the
course to meet your requirements. Because NZ is a small
country with a large number of golf courses, you never
have to drive more than 45 minutes to play a round of
golf. In most instances travel time would be substantially
less than this. New Zealand offers a range of golfing
experiences which include breath taking scenery, thermal
activity, new resort style golf and the challenge of
championship courses. Depending on your length of stay
and the type of challenge you are looking for, New Zealand
has something to offer and you will be left with a desire
to return to continue your golfing trek through one
of the world’s best golfing destinations. |
