New Zealand’s top Golf Courses in the South Island are very different to those in the north. With different weather, scenery and vegetation, they almost feel like you’re in a different country to the North Island. The scenery of the Southern Alps will take your breath away whether you play at the Clearwater Resort or Terrace Downs in Canterbury or the Millbrook Resort and Jacks Point at Queenstown. Designed by golfers, for golfers, the golf courses of the South Island of New Zealand are, without doubt, set in some of the most beautiful golfing scenery in the world.
