The first and shortest of Wairakei's par 5's. A straightforward hole provided you avoid the 11 bunkers scattered up the fairway and around the green. Use the course guide to lay up short of the fairway bunkers close to the green or carry them if you dare. A two-tier green places importance of distance control for your approach shot.

Absolutely stunning and beautiful course that proposes both challenges and enjoyment. It’s incredible scenic with very nice flora and fauna around the course. The staff were incredibly hospitable, and the course was in mint condition. The food from the bar after our round was also incredibly delicious giving us something to look forward to after our round. This is an experience I will never forget, and I hope I will be able to play this course again in my life.

A truly magnificent golf course! Set in a wildlife sanctuary the course is in impeccable shape and a joy to play. The staff are extremely friendly and upon checking in players can be provided ‘customised’ score cards with course handicap, suggested tees and slope rating. A nice touch! This was our second time playing and we chose to walk the course this time. Pace of play was perfect, and walking gave us the chance to see the entire course in all its beautiful flora and fauna! Certainly, worth every penny!!!

Is Wairakei New Zealand’s Augusta? It’s a luxurious golfing experience that leaves you feeling special and spoilt. Attention to detail is evidently important at Wairakei; the attention to detail that the team show to the guests and the attention to detail on the course, all world class.

The visual beauty of the sanctuary continuously lulls you into a false sense of security, hiding the ongoing challenge of a brilliant, tough and testing meadowland layout.

Played Wairakei this morning (my 2nd time) has to be 1 of the most best-looking courses around. Perfect condition today 1st time shooting under 1 shot 3 under 69 but does help with bugger all wind. My favourite course I’ve played.

It’s been a while since the boys have been back out there. Wairakei Golf + Sanctuary – this course is an absolute gem. Worth every penny and more!
