Cape Kidnappers Pairs Golf Tournament
                      plus Hawkes Bay Golf Tour
             14 to 21 September 2020 (8 days - 7 nights)
                Detailed Itinerary & Golf Programme
               Tour Cost A$9,900/Couple (A$4,950 pp Twin Share)
You are invited to join Trendsetter Travel’s NZ golf tour which culminates in attendance at the annual
Couples/Pairs Golf Tournament, to be held in 2020 at Cape Kidnappers. Your tour hosts are David Cooper
and Adrienne Witteman. Apart from playing 3 rounds at Cape Kidnappers, consistently rated in the world’s
top 50 courses, you will also stay 3 nights at Cape Kidnappers, 4 nights in Napier, get to enjoy 2 games on
local Hawkes Bay courses and attend a day’s wine tasting including lunch at one of Hawkes Bay’s leading
wineries.

Cape Kidnappers is one of the most luxurious golf resorts in the world. Participating in this annual weekend
event is, by some margin, the best value proposition when staying and playing at Cape Kidnappers. Your 4
nights in Napier is at one of the best hotels in Napier.

Tour transportation will be by coach.

                                                     1

Golf carts will be available for all 5 golf rounds (although for the 2 Hawkes Bay rounds, there are not
sufficient carts for all our tour party) and are included in the tour cost. If you elect to walk for the two
Hawkes Bay rounds or the practice round at Cape Kidnappers we provide a cash credit equal to the cost
saving.

We look to avoid being rushed at golf – intending to arrive between 45 minutes and 60 minutes before 1st
tee off (we will have 2 tee or multiple tee starts booked at all courses – which should see all our party
complete their respective rounds within 30 minutes of one another) and have time for a refreshing drink
(complimentary other than at Cape Kidnappers) in the club rooms post golf. While you will participate in
the Cape Kidnappers 4BBB 36 hole 2 day event (with attractive prizes), we will run competitions at the 2
golf courses preceding Cape Kidnappers and include our additional independent 4 BBB competition over
the final 2 days at Cape Kidnappers. Strict rules of golf will apply other than the “Irish Rule” for lost balls in
the interests of speeding up play. We are staying in spring when the weather should be good. We are
advised that Cape Kidnappers will undertake its major annual course maintenance the day after we leave
Cape Kidnappers which should ensure the golf course is in excellent condition the 3 days we play the
course. However this is NZ and there is no guarantee of brilliant weather regardless of the time of the year.

                                                  ITINERARY

Monday 14 September 2020
Fly to Napier and stay 4 nights at the County Hotel, located down town in Napier. We have chosen this
hotel due to it being one of the 2 best hotels in Napier and an easy walk to many of the leading Napier
restaurants. There are flights (all connecting through either Wellington or Auckland) arriving early evening
from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Trendsetter will provide coach transfers to the County Hotel to
meet these three flights or reimburse taxi costs. Should you choose to arrive on earlier days you will need
to make your own way to our hotel at your own cost. The cost of the international flight to and from
Napier is NOT included. There will be a welcome 2 course private dinner (including wines) in the main
dining room of the County Hotel at 8 pm (which will of course be 6 pm Australian time).

Accommodation: County Hotel – 4 nights (including breakfast)

Tuesday 15 September 2020
Following breakfast, we depart by coach at 8.30 am for 30 minute drive to play Hastings Golf Club (often
know as Bridge Pa), traditionally rated the # 1 course in Hawkes Bay (excluding Cape Kidnappers). We have
booked a 2 tee start from approximately 12.30 pm (coach departure at 11 am) – the late tee time is useful
just in case your golf clubs arrive on a later connecting flight to Napier.

Independent dining this evening.

Wednesday 16 September 2020
Following breakfast, we depart at 8 45 am for a short 10 minute coach transfer to play Napier Golf Club
where we have a two tee start from 10.00 am.

Independent dining this evening.

Thursday 17 September 2020
We have a non-golf day. After a leisurely breakfast and perhaps a walk around historic Napier with its
many famous Art Deco buildings (Napier was totally destroyed after the famous 1931 earthquake and was
rebuilt with many of the original buildings constructed in the then fashionable Art Deco style), we will
depart by coach at 11.15 am for a 15 minute drive to Mission Estates, one of Hawkes Bay’s leading
wineries. But more importantly, Mission Estates is reknowned for its winery lunches at its famous Convent
homestead. We have a private pre lunch drinks and wine tasting from 12 noon with a two course lunch
from 1 pm. Wine tasting, pre lunch drinks, lunch and standard wines/beers/soft drinks are included as part
of your tour cost. We expect to depart around 3.30 pm.

Friday 18 September 2020
In order to maximise our time at Cape Kidnappers, our coach will leave early at 7.45 am for the
approximate 45 minute drive to Cape Kidnappers, where we have a shot gun tee start at 9.30 am. After
golf, check into your luxurious rooms at The Farm at Cape Kidnappers. As the property only has a
maximum of 26 rooms, this limits the tournament to a maximum of 26 pairs. Our group will obviously
dominate the tournament numbers (and hopefully the podium).

Our tour price includes the 4day/3 night Cape Kidnappers stay comprising Friday’s practice round (including
carts), tournament rounds on Saturday and Sunday (carts are included both days), wonderful prizes, from
6.30 pm a cocktail hour (plus) followed
by dinner on all 3 nights, breakfast all 3
mornings, lunch on the Sunday and a
complimentary mini bar in your luxury
room (traditionally includes local beers,
local wines, soft drinks and home made
cookies). However, you will need to pay
for wines over dinner each night.

As you will be a Virtuoso booking, you
will also be entitled to a US$100 spa
credit and a room upgrade subject to
availability. Our bookings will be in the
Hill Top Suites (46.5 sqm) and upgrades
would be to the deluxe Ridge Suites (63
sqm) and Lodge Suites (65 sqm).
Irrespective, all suites are large and luxurious. Traditionally, at least half of our rooms are accorded
complimentary upgrades.

Saturday 19 September 2020
After a relaxing breakfast, there is a
circa 9 am two tee start for the 1st
round of the Pairs Tournament. The
competition is a stableford event based
upon your slope adjusted GA handicaps
where the best ball of each 2 ball pair is
counted each hole and then aggregated
over the 18 holes. The winning scores
are the best 2 ball scores over the full 36
holes (that is 18 holes on each of
Saturday and Sunday). Tee times and
playing groups are drawn by Cape Kidnappers and advised the night before each round. This is a very well
run event. You should have a few hours free time between the conclusion of your round and drinks from
6.30 pm

Sunday 20 September 2020
Today is the 2nd round of the Pairs Tournament, after which there will be a buffet lunch and prize giving.
Unlike our visit 2 years previously, we will stay the Sunday night at Cape Kidnappers which will allow a few
hours free time at the resort post lunch and before pre-dinner drinks. We negotiated attractive terms for
the 3rd night at Cape Kidnappers given annual course maintenance works will be undertaken on the course
from the following day.

Monday 21 September 2020
Our tour concludes post breakfast and we have organised a coach transfer at approximately 11 am for the
45 to 60 minutes transfer to Napier Airport. Complimentary transfers will not be provided if you choose to
leave at a different time.
