Golf
Clearwater Golf Resort
Designed by John Darby and Sir Bob Charles, Clearwater is home to the NZPGA Championship. The course combines elements of links and parkland golf and meanders around a succession of lakes and trout filled streams with uninterrupted views of the spectacular Southern Alps.
Terrace Downs Golf Course
Mountain views stretch to the horizon and lush fairways beckon. At the foothills of the Southern Alps, there are very few scenic alpine courses like it. The views of the Rakaia Gorge and mountain vistas remain a constant challenge for players to keep their concentration.
Millbrook
New Zealand golf at its best. Designed by Sir Bob Charles and set in a natural, alpine amphitheatre, against the backdrop of the Remarkables mountain range, the golf course at Millbrook exploits the dramatic terrain fully, delivering world-class golf. Millbrook is quite simply a fantastic golf resort.
Jack's Point Golf Club
With a backdrop of 2300 vertical metres of the razorback Remarkables mountain range and an armchair view of Lake Wakatipu and an outstanding mountain panorama, Jack's Point Golf Course is one of the most spectacular in the world. The entire Jack's Point Golf Course has been designed to take full advantage of its history and terrain - raw, dramatic and wild. With preservation and restoration of surrounding wetlands, matagouri and native bush, each hole has been carefully aligned to a magnificent backdrop, offering the player a full 360 degree experience of the high country landscape.
Sights / Activities
Milford Sound
Milford Sound is simply stunning and unmissable whilst visiting Queenstown. The huge fiords created by rivers of ice can be seen in many different moods, teeming with rain or with sun glistening on deep water and alongside the sound stands Mitre Peak, a remarkable presence dominating the skyline.
Lake Tekapo
This highland lake, in the centre of the South Island, was formed from the glacial melted waters and has a beautifully unique turquoise colour. The surrounding mountains and turquoise lake make for a spectacular backdrop.
