Course Overview
The Kinloch Club is the only Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course in New Zealand. It is an 18 hole Championship par 72 golf course.
The 18 holes blend into the natural landscape of the property with views of lake Taupo throughout the back nine.
Jack Nicklaus played the entire 18 holes for the first time in February 2008 after the 'grow in' stage of holes 10 to 18 had been completed. He was extremely happy with how the course had matured since the back nine opened to complete construction on 1st December 2007.
The Kinloch Club is open to the public upon request Tuesday to Sunday.
Bear Facts
The Kinloch Club was voted one of the Top 10 new golf courses in the world for 2007 by the prestigious U.S. Travel and Leisure golf magazine - making it the only course outside of North America to be included in that Top 10.
