Wellington Fourteen Day Tour Miramar, Manor Park, Shandon, The Hutt, Royal Wellington, Karori, Judgeford, Paraparaumu, Levin and Waikanae golf courses. Play 10 rounds of golf in New Zealand's capital city and the Kapiti Coast which has plenty to do and see in between your golfing, Staying right in the heart of Wellington you will be playing Wellington's best courses, and Wellington being the windy city will demand a good short game and low ball flight, unless downwind, then tee it high and let it rip. The Kapiti coast is a 35 minute drive from Wellington, where you will be spending 5 nights and playing the 4 best courses on the coast, it is always a great golfing destination as the weather always seems to be on the bright side, three of the courses are close to the sea and have links layouts, there is also a short inland for a round at a valley course that is tucked away in the hills. As well as the great weather and awesome golf courses, there is a real good holiday vibe to the area with great restaurants, bars and cafes, and if its warm enough there is the great beaches for a dip. Also if you would like to play golf on the days off let us know and we will arrange it, and the only extra cost will be the green fees. These 14 day tours are jam packed with golf, but on your days off and other spare time there are plenty of other activities to do. CLICK HERE FOR OTHER ACTIVITIES

The Miramar Links Course is right next door to the Wellington airport and in my opinion one of Wellington's best, redesigned in 1995 by Graham Marsh who left his mark with more bunkers than you can count and greens that seem to have different levels all over them, it is a very open course so it can get very windy and is one of the most undulating courses I have played.
Situated 14km from the city center, Manor Park Golf Course is a long narrow course boarded by the Hutt river and the Wellington train lines, it is an easy walking course and boasts to being the home of many great N.Z playing professionals.
Another course I highly rate is the Shandon Golf Course, it's located in Petone just as you enter the Hutt Valley and is a parkland's layout with gentle undulations, boarded by water, and well bunkered, Shandon demands respect as it is a test right from the start, where the first tee shot and approach take plenty of focus and accuracy.
The Hutt Golf Course is located only a few blocks away from Shandon and is the North Islands oldest golf course, it is a bit up and down with tree lined fairways as you would expect from an old layout, but it is still a real tough course to score on, and if the wind gets up then all the Hutt Valley Courses are a true test of endurance. The par 3 finishing hole over the lake is a real test when you have a good round going. One of the more famous courses in New Zealand, the Paraparaumu Golf Links, is a real golfing experience with a pure links feel. It has everything a links course should have and if the wind is blowing it will test all your skills, it has held the NZ Open loads of times, and it is the only golf course in New Zealand that Tiger Woods has competed on.
Enjoy a great road trip to the west of Wellington into Karori Valley where the Karori Golf Club is located, it is a lot different to all the other courses on this tour, its about a 40 minutes drive from the city and once you arrive you will feel the peace and quiet along with a brilliant view of the surrounding hills, its a real gem of a course with loads of elevation changes and elevated tees and greens, it is definitely a tough walk, so if you would like a cart let us know and we will get it booked. The other courses are all reasonably easy to walk with Miramar having a few smaller hills.
