Overlooking the awe-inspiring Remarkables mountain range, Queenstown lies tucked away along a
bay on Lake Wakatipu, offering an enchanting holiday getaway amidst some of New Zealand’s most
breathtaking scenery. While this quaint lakeside resort is a perfect spot from which to enjoy such
adventure sports as bungee jumping, skiing, white water rafting and mountain biking, one will also
find several stunning golf courses in Queenstown that offer challenges for amateurs and seasoned
veterans alike.
Regarded as one of the most naturally spectacular courses in the world, the Queenstown Golf
Club overlooks Lake Wakatipu and the dramatic Remarkables mountain backdrop, providing a likely
distraction for all those who take the fairways. About a 5 minute water taxi journey from
Queenstown Wharf, the Queenstown Golf Club is made up of the Frankton Golf Course and Driving Range
and the main 18 hole, par 72, Kelvin Heights Golf Course.
Totalling 6,103 metres, the Kelvin Heights course offers overwhelmingly beautiful settings by
Lake Wakatipu from which to tee off and tackle the 18 hole challenge. The playing areas include the
365 metre course of the 1st hole (par 4), bordered by trees on both sides, the 362 metre lakeside
course of the 5th hole (par 4) which is considered the most scenic and the challenging 471 metre
18th hole (par 5) with its bunker and trees acting as obstacles.
Situated within easy reach of the central area of the town and ideal for both business and
leisure travellers, Millennium Hotel Queenstown makes a great base for those wishing to enjoy a
relaxing golfing holiday in the region.
