Jack’s Point February 10: Queenstown, New Zealand (South Island) Plan to arrive in Queenstown on February 10. You will be transferred to the Sofitel Queenstown Hotel and Spa. Relax and explore this delightful town until our welcome reception this evening. If you plan to arrive early in Queenstown, we are happy to make arrangements for additional nights at the Sofitel Queenstown, and help organize private tours of the area, including a helicopter tour or cruise of Milford Sound. Overnight: Sofitel Queenstown ....... February 11: Queenstown Golf: Jack’s Point Within a 3,000-acre nature preserve on the shores of Lake Tewa, Jack’s Point is a must play in Queenstown. The course’s elevation changes offer sweeping lake and alpine vistas with 360-degree mountain views. The thrilling challenge and panoramas provide a fitting introduction to golf on the South Island. Tour: Amisfield Winery & Arrowtown Queenstown is one of the fastest growing wine regions in New Zealand. Our Kiwi wine expert is on hand to explain the details of the wine making process while we sample the region’s Pinot Noirs, ranked among the world’s finest. After lunch, we visit Arrowtown, New Zealand’s only living, historic gold rush town. Overnight: Sofitel Queenstown ....... February 12: Queenstown Golf: Millbrook Resort Set in a natural alpine amphitheater in the shadow of The Remarkables mountain range and located near the former gold mining town of Arrowtown, this alpine links course offers a variety of natural hazards including tussocks, streams and schist stone. Millbrook fully exploits the dramatic terrain with a number of elevated tees, offering breathtaking views and a range of strategic options. Annual host of the New Zealand Open since 2014, Millbrook is a must play in Queenstown. Tour: Jet Boat Adventure We embark on a scenic jet boat experience—an exhilarating ride on Lake Wakatipu and the spectacular Shotover River. Overnight: Sofitel Queenstown www.KalosGolf.com 919.942.3464 Memorable Golf Adventures
Cape Kidnappers ....... February 13: Napier (North Island) • Cape Kidnappers Today, we transfer by chartered aircraft from Queenstown on the South Island to Napier on the North Island. We check-in to our five-star home for the next three evenings in Hawke’s Bay—The Farm at Cape Kidnappers, where the service, atmosphere and scenery are incomparable. Overnight: The Farm at Cape Kidnappers ....... February 14: Cape Kidnappers Golf: Cape Kidnappers Spread over a dramatic landscape, Cape Kidnappers is like no other course in the world. Tom Doak created this prize-winning golf course on land perched 500 feet above Hawke’s Bay—a site that “belongs more to heaven than earth.” Doak’s brilliant design is best demonstrated by just how naturally many fairways utilize the most scenic parts of the site and yet remain fully playable. Generous fairways give way to challenging approach shots into complex greens. Tour: Gannet Colony & Kiwi Tour Our morning begins with a trip to the splendid Cape Kidnappers gannet colony—the only place in the world to see the nesting place of over 20,000 gannets up close. As we watch these birds fly off the cliffs to dive deep for fish, our local guides explain the preening, dance performances and behaviors we witness. In the afternoon, we explore the area around Cape Kidnappers to find New Zealand’s national bird, the kiwi. Semi-secretive and nocturnal, few New Zealanders have seen a kiwi in the wild. Our guides lead us to a kiwi habitat, where we will be able view and hold these unique, flightless birds. Overnight: The Farm at Cape Kidnappers ....... February 15: Cape Kidnappers Golf: Cape Kidnappers Golfers will relish a second round at Cape Kidnappers. No excuses about the prevailing winds today on the par three 6th, a cliff-to-cliff shot, or on the par five 15th hole, otherwise known as “Pirates Plank,” which edges out to a green that hangs 450 feet above the Pacific. Tour: Napier and Hawke’s Bay Winery After a morning exploring Napier and its famed Art Deco architecture, we travel to Hawke’s Bay, the oldest established wine growing region in New Zealand, which is home to many of the country’s most famous vineyards. We taste fine wines paired with local specialties for lunch. Overnight: The Farm at Cape Kidnappers Kiwi Experience www.KalosGolf.com 919.942.3464 Memorable Golf Adventures
Kauri Cliffs ....... February 16: Kerikeri • Kauri Cliffs Our chartered aircraft takes us directly to the small airstrip at Kerikeri. We enjoy lunch at Marsden Vineyard Estate before taking a short drive to the five-star Lodge at Kauri Cliffs where we will settle in for the duration of our visit to New Zealand. Overnight: The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs ....... February 17: Kauri Cliffs Golf: Kauri Cliffs Julian Robertson created this exclusive golf retreat, which catapulted into the world’s top 50 just one year after completion. The dazzling sea views at every turn and a series of surprising par threes vie for your attention. Where Cape Kidnappers is demanding in approaching the greens, Kauri Cliffs is demanding off the tee. The back side is the more dramatic with six holes hugging the cliffs. Tour: Waitangi Treaty Grounds and Kauri Farm Tour Touring guests visit New Zealand’s paramount historic site, the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, where Māori chiefs first signed their accord with the British Crown – the Treaty of Waitangi – New Zealand’s founding document. All guests will have the opportunity to join the Kauri Cliffs Farm Manager on a tour of the 6,000 acre working sheep farm. Overnight: The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs ...... February 18: Kauri Cliffs Golf: Kauri Cliffs Golfers will savor a second chance to master this scenic layout, and Kauri Cliffs is up to the challenge. Approach shots will be better measured but new hole locations present plenty of new strategic options.

The dishes demonstrated will be served during a gourmet lunch paired with fine Northland wines. Overnight: The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs .......

ACCOMMODATIONS

CHARTERED AIR
Getting There Differently
The mountainous terrain in New Zealand
creates majestic views and breathtaking
scenery, but the narrow, winding roads don’t
make it easy to navigate these two islands
by land.
We comfortably and conveniently fly
directly to small remote airports in Napier
and Kerikeri, giving us a short ride to our
exclusive lodgings.
To access these most precious, out of the way
spots, which happen to be home to some of the
best golf in the Southern Hemisphere, and to
ensure ease of travel for our small group, we
charter a Convair 580, ATR or similarly-sized
aircraft* from Queenstown to Napier and
Napier to Kerikeri.
Our staff manages all of the luggage
arrangements, eliminating the hassles of
typical air travel, allowing us to maximize our
time at some of the best accommodations to
be found in this island nation.
.......
*Charter aircraft availability can be
challenging in New Zealand. Our goal is
to provide a seamless travel experience for
our guests, charter or not. In the interest of
making travel between locations efficient and
maximizing our time on the ground, charter
availability will determine our choice of
aircraft: Convair 580, ATR or similarly-sized
craft, and/or we may contract commercial
air on one or both of our legs.

GOLF’S FINEST TR AVEL EXPERIENCE
The truth about great international golf courses is that they are
typically in close proximity to fascinating cultural and historic
venues, immersed in unique landscapes ripe for discovery, making
our trips ideal for couples in which one spouse is a passionate
golfer, and one may rather tour. We dedicate as much purpose to
planning and executing our touring programs as we do our golf
line-up; no other golf tour operator can make this promise.
We know our clients demand stimulating experiences beyond
golf and strive to present our guests with a rich blend of choices
between golf and touring each day. Even the heartiest golfers
among our guests often remark, “it was tough to decide today
between the tour and the links.”
Each day, touring passengers will have the option to experience
fascinating cultural and historic or culinary and wine tours. On
some days, golfers and tour guests will spend the day touring
together and on others, they will get together for a private wine
tasting or tour after golf.
We challenge you to find a touring program with any other luxury
golf tour operator that is as robust, inclusive and exclusive as you
will find on a Kalos Golf tour.
