GULF HARBOUR COUNTRY CLUB

Gulf Harbour Country Club is another superb golf course set high on the cliffs of Whangaparoa Peninsula in the Hauraki Gulf. 

Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jnr, it has spectactular finishing holes, ocean views and classic, traditional values.

The venue for the 1998 World Cup of Golf and the 2005 NZ Open, an event on the Australasian and European Tours, Gulf Harbour has gained a reputation as being amongst the best resort courses in the country.  Play well and you can score well - it doesn't punish the good shot.

A true golfer's course, it is demanding and satisfying to play, offering variety hole by hole.  The greens run true but with undulations that make "being below the hole" an imperative.

Measuring 7,203 yards off the championship tees, this is a superb all weather course, well drained, it tantilises players with a variety of exciting holes. 

Several feature risk and reward opportunities, and none are tricked up or artificial.

In Robert Trent's words "This is one of the truly great sites I have had the chance to work on world-wide."
