New Zealand is home to some of the most stunning and spectacular golf courses in the world. Golf enthusiasts can showcase their skills at the world - renowned cliff - top courses in the Bay of Islands and Hawke's Bay. These star courses, the shining gems of New Zealand's golfing scene, have been crafted by globally - famous designers such as Tom Doak, Dr. Alister MacKenzie, Robert Trent Jones Jnr, and Jack Nicklaus.
