Jack's Point Golf Resort at Queenstown NZ was one of our favourites of the NZ tour. It is a links course nestled at the base of the mountains and has wonderful views across the water to Queenstown. This course has on recently been open to the public and is still work in progress in many places.
We loved this course. It was very challenging, with long grassed areas off the fairways that were deadly. Once the ball dissapeared into the grass it was rarely seen again. The views over the water were spectacular.
We played this course twice and would have no hesitation in playing it again. The grounds were still in 'development' stage where more areas were opening up. Once finished this will be one of the top courses over there. It was quite cold early in the morning before the sun rose over the mountains, after that we were lucky enough to have a glorious day.
The clubhouse was also at early development stage - so I would love to go back in a couple of years to see the finished result. I will be sure to take plenty of golf balls as it is so easy to loose a ball in the long grass.
