Fri 06.12.2024 Hobart, Australia – Royal Hobart Golf Club The origins of this course date back to 1916 – since then the course has had to move several times and did not reach its current location on Seven Mile Beach until 1956. The Royal Hobart title was already conferred on the club in 1925. The fairways were last updated in 1997. But before you make it to the large, fast greens, there are a formidable 80 strategically placed bunkers waiting on the broad fairways. All in all, a perfect symbiosis of bushland and recurring views of the nearby turquoise Tasman Sea.
Wed 11.12.2024 Port Chalmers, New Zealand – The Otago Golf Club The striking parkland course requires a very precise, concentrated game, as the fairways – some of which are quite narrow – do not allow for any scatter factors. A serious drive is required right from the tee boxes. The 14th hole, a par 4, will prove particularly memorable. The fairway with its 45-degree dog-leg requires a drive of at least 220 m (722 ft) to reach the ideal line. This is essential to obtain the best score for your handicap on the 404 m (1,325 ft) length. A challenge awaits you, but one that never loses sight of the fun.
Thu 12 Dec 2024 Lyttelton (Christchurch), New Zealand – Clearwater Golf Club – Additional course 1 This course is not one for golfers with an aversion to water, as 11 of the 18 holes have serious water hazards at their sides. Players who focus on the essentials will quickly find their way to the extremely fast plateau greens. The tee boxes on this course stand out with their raised positions, providing a clear view of the play even before teeing off.
Sat 14.12.2024 Wellington, New Zealand – Royal Wellington Golf Club This city course, which was laid out as a parkland course and significantly renovated as recently as 2013, has been situated in the uplands of the “windy city” since 1895. Due to its location, the 18-hole golf adventure is often influenced by the wind, which is feared in the region. The very wide and often very strongly modulated fairways are not necessarily helpful. The round is traditionally opened by a starter who keeps an eye on the players’ outfits – only white golf socks and shoes with soft spikes are permitted.
Sun 15.12.2024 Napier, New Zealand – Cape Kidnappers Golf Club Located on a plateau directly on the east coast of the North Island, this 18-hole course is impressive simply due to its location on the cliff. It constantly creates unique positions as well as views of the Pacific Ocean. The mixture of extensive holes, all of which are shaped by the natural features of the landscape, and the typical characteristics of the region ensures a very special round of golf. You should definitely take time for a souvenir photo here and there between your game.
Tue 17.12.2024 Mount Maunganui (Tauranga), New Zealand – Mount Maunganui Golf Club – Additional course 2 An unusual course layout with very closely spaced holes awaits the player, requiring a focused course management. Despite the proximity to the next hole, the relatively spacious fairways provide scope for you to return to the clubhouse with an acceptable score if your focus is right. A bonus of the course is certainly the fascinating views of the turquoise Pacific Ocean that will reward you time and again throughout your game.
