Wairakei Golf and Sanctuary
Wairakei Golf + Sanctuary is a Kiwi favourite—pure parkland golf set within a predator-free wildlife haven. Lush fairways, strategic bunkers, and roaming deer make it as captivating as it is challenging.

Wairakei Golf + Sanctuary is one of New Zealand’s most beloved courses, seamlessly blending world-class golf with a thriving conservation project. Set in the heart of the North Island, this stunning parkland layout is surrounded by rolling hills, dense native bush, and natural waterways, creating a serene yet strategic test. The course is home to a predator-free sanctuary, where native birds, fallow deer, and tuatara roam freely. The signature par-5 14th is a standout, demanding a bold approach over water to reach the green in two. Immaculately maintained fairways, deep bunkering, and pure greens provide a rewarding challenge for all levels. A perfect complement to the dramatic test of Kinloch, Wairakei is a must-play for any New Zealand golf itinerary.
Many thanks for the trip for my brothers and I to Pebble Beach. We had a fantastic time. The Spanish Inn is the right place to stay. Great atmosphere.
