Cape Kidnappers

Completed in 2004, our spectacular New Zealand golf course has been hailed as one of the great modern marvels in golf. Built on a ridge-and-valley landscape and with stunning sea views, Cape Kidnappers Golf Course plays high above the ocean atop dramatic cliffs. In partnership with Doak’s Rennaisance Golf, the course underwent a full renovation of all 18 greens and fairways in 2022 with outstanding results.

With cliff-edge fairways perched 140 metres above sea level and a surface that remains firm and fast, this course offers holes unlike anything you find elsewhere in the world. While every hole has a spectacular view of the Bay, some play cautiously alongside deep ravines as others intimidate golfers with deep cliff top bunkers and sheer drops off the very edge of the earth.

With amazing views across the fairways and out to the Pacific Ocean, Cape Kidnappers clubhouse is the perfect beginning and end to your round. Should you wish to have lunch between the nines, an order can be placed before teeing off. Additionally, a full lunch and snack menu is available after the round in the clubhouse dining room.
