Do you like Golf? Have you ever thought of making a trip to New Zealand? If you combine these two things you will have a great, unforgettable experience.

Golfing in New Zealand is an inexpensive activity. Even though, some of the world’s best golf courses can be found among the more than 400 golf courses in New Zealand. In addition to the quality, these courses are often located in outstanding scenery. Particularly on weekdays you will find no crowds on the course.

New Zealand offers only very few "invitation only" courses, but many country courses and resorts.

One of the best known golf courses is Kauri Cliffs. It is 3.5 hours drive north of the Auckland International Airport or 25 minutes drive from Kerikeri airport. If you want you can have a Lodge accommodation directly at the course or you can stay in one of the nearby towns of Paihia, Russell or Kerikeri. Another example is Wairakei. Wairakei is located 4 hours drive south of Auckland near Lake Taupo. It takes only 15 minutes from Lake Taupo airport. You will find several hotels/motels in the Rotorua and Taupo region, e.g. the Wairaki Resort Hotel which can be found a few minutes drive from the course.

However, among this amount of golf courses you can be sure several will suit your expectations. Adequate courses and accommodations are spread all over the north and south island.

If you prefer to organize your trip by yourself New Zealand is the right country. Traveling is absolutely easy and the infrastructure is unbelievable. Due to the hospitality of the people you will have no problems getting around. You have the choice between top-class resorts, moderately and well-priced accommodations.

However, if you favor the comfort of organized tours you have two choices: Group Tours and Self Drive Tours. If you go for a Self Drive Tour the operator will either have a pre-planned tour and you just book it or the operator can tailor a special tour to you. If you are interested in these kind of tours you should have a look at SideTracks. SideTracks is located in New Zealand and knows the country "up and down". Their motto is, "It's our job to ensure your trip runs without a hitch, and to make every day an unforgettable experience". They enjoy sharing their knowledge.
