Wairakei Golf + Sanctuary
Taupo
Set within a protected ecological reserve near Lake Taupo, Wairakei Golf + Sanctuary is one of New Zealand’s most unique and scenic championship courses. Designed by Commander John Harris, the par-72 layout winds through rolling countryside, geothermal landscapes and native bush, with dramatic ravines and natural water features shaping many holes. The course is known for its peaceful setting, immaculate conditioning and abundant wildlife, including native bird species that roam freely throughout the sanctuary. Wide fairways provide playability, while elevated greens and subtle contours demand precise approach play. Regularly ranked among New Zealand’s top courses, Wairakei offers a memorable blend of championship golf and natural beauty in the heart of the North Island.
