18-hole championship golf course—Par 72 and stretching 6,460 metres from the championship tees—is masterfully designed to harmonise with the native bush, abundant birdlife, and breathtaking scenery.

A course that sprawls over the property using the natural contours to the fullest. This coupled with the 6460 metres from the championship tees and over 100 large well placed bunkers, has lead to worldwide acclaim. It is the natural beauty and sheer experience of the property that makes Wairakei a must for the golf enthusiast.

The Sanctuary is a complement to the golf course and was born out of a natural ecological canvas and the passion of the owner, Gary Lane.

Within 180 hectares of native flora and fauna sits one of New Zealand’s finest golf courses.
