Golf Trips in Kerikeri: Championship Courses & Luxury Accommodation

Far North Golf in New Zealand's Subtropical Paradise

Nestled in New Zealand's subtropical "Winterless North," the Northland region offers golf enthusiasts and amatures an unparalleled experience with its stunning landscapes, mild climate, and world-class courses. Kerikeri, at the heart of the Bay of Islands, serves as the perfect center for your golfing holiday in Northland.

The Bay of Islands golf courses combines challenging play with breathtaking scenery – from coastal fairways overlooking the Bay of Isalnds to inland courses surrounded by native bush, rural outlooks and rolling hills. What sets Northland golf apart is the ability to play year-round in a climate which remains mild and pleasant even during the winter months, making it a favorite destination for golfers seeking to escape colder south NZ regions.

Whether you're planning a dedicated golf holiday or looking to incorporate a few rounds into your Bay of Islands exploration, Kerikeri's central location provides convenient access to some of New Zealand's most famous courses. From the internationally renowned Kauri Cliffs to the charming local Kerikeri Golf Club to the rural feel of Okaihou, each course offers its own unique challenges and spectacular views that showcase the natural beauty of Northland. There's even mini-golf and a golf simulator right in Kerikeri.

Year-Round Golf in Northland: Seasonal Considerations

One of the greatest advantages of Northland golf is the ability to play comfortably (in shorts if you like) throughout the year. The region's subtropical climate means milder winters and pleasant conditions even during the off-season, making it an ideal destination for golfers seeking to escape the cold weather south of Brenderwyns.

For the best value and playing conditions, many golfers consider the shoulder seasons (autumn and spring) ideal for Northland golf trips. These periods offer a perfect balance of pleasant weather, good course conditions, and fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months.
