Course Details:
Spectacular finishing holes, ocean views, rolling terrain and classic, traditional values.  All these combine to make the Gulf Harbour Country Club one of the most exciting new developments in New Zealand.

The course itself has a natural look and feel from start to finish and five sets of tees assure playability for every calibre of golfer, from beginners to professionals.  Like all great courses, Gulf Harbour tantalises players with a variety of exciting holes. Several feature risk and reward opportunities, and none are tricked-up or artificial.

The front nine is slightly hillier and has an open feeling, while the back nine wanders towards the ocean and culminates with some of the most scenic holes anywhere.  Then the four finishing holes will increase the heartbeat of every golfer. The 160 metre 15th is a par 3 toward the ocean, with the water as a backdrop. The 405metre 16th is a classic par 4 bordering cliffs. The second shot flirts with the rock cliffs and requires nerve as well as talent. The par 5 17th stretches 505 metres along the ocean, and the gorgeous views can be distracting to the eye. The final hole is a 390 metre par 4 which turns inland toward the clubhouse.
