The Kinloch Club
Taupo, Waikato · Resort · 18 holes · Par 72

The Kinloch Club brings Jack Nicklaus design into volcanic Taupo country with a look and rhythm unlike the softer parkland most travellers expect in New Zealand. It is bold, lumpy, and exacting, asking players to use slopes, commit to lines, and accept that recovery golf is part of the bargain. The course has big greens, muscular bunkering, and a moody inland setting that feels more heathland than resort gloss. It belongs high on any ranked New Zealand list because the architecture has real teeth and because the land gives every hole a distinct conversation.
