Each fairway offers stunning alpine views and each hole has its own unique scenic perspective of remnants of historic stone cottages, impressive stands of trees, mountain scenery and much more. The scenery is one thing, but the diverse challenges that the course offers its golfers are prominent in attracting the attention of an international golfing audience.
Arrowtown’s historic past has had much influence on the development of the course, with holes named in honour of the town’s goldmining past. Locations such as Sons of Fortune and Golden Arrow have lent their names to these holes. The course itself has some history, being first opened in 1937 as a nine hole course, with an expansion to eighteen holes occurring in 1970. This spectacular course is 5,327 metres on the men’s cards, at par 70 for men and par 71 for women.

As one of the world’s most picturesque golf courses, Jack’s Point par 72 championship golf course is fast gaining a reputation as a perfect location for golfers of all skill levels. With the majestic towering Remarkables Mountain Range setting the scene with its views of mountains and lakes, this eighteen hole course offers a serene oasis for the perfect round of golf.
Jack’s Point is a uniquely designed golf course as it used the absolute minimum amount of excavation required to build. This is because the designer wanted to minimise environmental impact and work with the existing landscape to create this 6,388-metre (7,088 yard) masterpiece. This design tactic worked brilliantly and Jack’s Point is now known as one of the world’s most amazingly terrained golf courses. Throughout your round, you’ll navigate rocky outcrops, steep drop-offs, crops of bushland and tufts of grassland before surfacing on the sand shoreline of the unspoiled Lake Wakatipu.
