Te Arai Links - North

4North

Designed by Tom Doak and opened in 2023, the North Course offers a more intricate and strategically demanding counterpart to the South. Beginning along the coastline before turning inland through towering pines, the routing presents a constantly changing sequence of holes where decision-making is every bit as important as execution.

The shaping ranges from subtle to dramatic, with several green complexes pushing the boundaries of contour and movement. Pin placement can significantly alter both the preferred line of play and the challenge of the approach, giving the course a different character from one day to the next.

More than any other course in New Zealand, the North Course places a premium on finding the correct angle into the greens. It is a course of remarkable depth, where the architecture reveals itself gradually and rewards those willing to think their way around it.
