Wairakei Golf + Sanctuary
Wairakei offers a contrasting experience to nearby Kinloch, forming a natural pairing in the Taupō region. The course moves through native bush, waterways and open parkland.
The routing is generous and flowing, with less exposure to wind and fewer demands on precision. The atmosphere is calm and immersive.
It is a course that prioritises ease and setting, providing a welcome balance alongside more exacting layouts.
With streams and lakes, Wairakei is 18 testing holes of exceptional beauty where a 5km (8 mile) fence maintains a predator-free environment to house ducks, pheasants, deer and native birds including the rare Takahē and even Kiwi.
