We recommend visiting during the New Zealand spring (September-November) or autumn (March-May) for the most comfortable playing conditions. The fairways are typically lush, and you'll avoid the peak summer crowds while still enjoying plenty of sunshine.

You absolutely should! The golf club is just a short, scenic drive from the Waitomo Caves, making it perfect for a full day of exploring the region. We suggest an early morning tee time, so you can finish your round and still have plenty of time to experience the glowworms and cave tours in the afternoon.
