About Kauri Cliffs Golf Course Golf Course

Kauri Cliffs Golf Course, set on the Matauri Bay peninsula in Northland's Bay of Islands region, is one of the world's most spectacular coastal golf experiences — fifteen of its eighteen holes provide direct ocean views over the Pacific, and six holes play directly along clifftops with sheer drops to the sea below. Designed by American architect David Harman and opened in 2000, the course was developed by the Robertson family alongside The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs, which quickly became one of New Zealand's most celebrated luxury lodges. The course name derives from the ancient kauri trees — some of New Zealand's most iconic and rare native species — that border several holes on the inland side. The combination of Pacific Ocean panoramas, kauri forest framing, and the Matauri Bay setting makes Kauri Cliffs one of the most visually extraordinary golf experiences in the southern hemisphere. It is accessible only to lodge guests and day visitor green fee players who book in advance — making it a destination in itself rather than simply a golf course.
