Kauri Cliffs

Overview

One of the most stunning and panoramic vistas in world golf. Fifteen holes view the Pacific Ocean, six of which are played alongside cliffs which plunge to the sea. The beautiful inland holes wind through marsh, forest and farmland. Kauri Cliffs recently underwent a renovation from world renowned golf course architect Rees Jones. The 5th hole received a complete redesign and was transformed from a long, uphill, forced carry par-3 to a short "drop shot" par-3. Other notable changes were the addition of tees on the 2nd and 9th holes and a bunker renovation on the 4th hole. As with its sister property at Cape Kidnappers, the accommodations here are to die for. Be sure to check out the villas and suites and add a couple of nights here to your itinerary. "Right from the beginning we knew had a special piece of property. The natural beauty is just astounding throughout, so our real goal was to create a very special golf course that people from all over the world will commend and enjoy. Also at the same time we wanted to maintain Kauri Cliffs as a working farm, which it is; it's 4,000 acres, and the course is actually a small part of that." Designer - David Harman
