OUR STORY

Like many adventures, ours began with a simple idea - born by a deep love for golf and a belief that New Zealand holds one of the most remarkable, yet under-celebrated, golf stories in the world.

We’ve played the game across the globe and throughout Aotearoa, and time and again, we’ve been struck by the brilliance of our local courses - many of which rival the best anywhere.

New Zealand offers a rich tapestry of golf experiences. From world-renowned courses that regularly feature in the Top 100, to humble member clubs powered by passionate locals, each course tells its own story. History lingers in every clubhouse, and character lives in every fairway.

We want to share these stories with you.

Let us help you craft a journey that uncovers the true soul of New Zealand golf - one unforgettable round at a time.
