Inclusions & Pricing

Limited to the first 200 golfers entered, the tournament is open to men and women golfers aged 20 and over. Maximum handicap limits of 36.0 for men and 40.4 for women apply. The competition format is single Stableford, played in handicap divisions, with an additional Gross competition for low markers. There are fun daily prizes as well as an overall prize table.

 

Let us know with your entry if you are travelling with friends, and we will ensure you play on the same course rotation throughout the week. For the daily draws, all players will be mixed. For your special round at Kauri Cliffs, we will draw you with your friends or partners.

On your journey north to the Bay of Islands, why not try out New Zealand’s two new courses — Te Arai Links South (Coore & Crenshaw) and Te Arai Links North (Doak) — or visit the Far North to play Carrington Resort?

 

Northland activities available on the rest day include a Hole in the Rock Dolphin Cruise, a Cape Reinga Day Trip with Fullers GreatSights, and the opportunity to visit the fascinating Waitangi Treaty Grounds and Māori War Museum. You can also take a ferry day trip for dolphin watching to Otehei Bay on Urupukapuka Island.
