Cape Kidnappers (Tom Doak)
Resort Overview
No golf bucket list is complete without a trip to Cape Kidnappers. It is a unique experience for non-golfers and golfers alike. Tom Doak created a marvel in course design, where the course sits on cliff terrain 400+ above Hawkes Bay and offers some of the most stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. The coastal back nine is one of the most visually stunning stretches in the game. Holes weave through finger cliffs that are prime for photo opportunities. Stay focused or your game can quickly fall off at this challenging test. The golf course isn’t the only world-renowned entity in the area. This is one of the great wine regions of the world, too. Talk about a great 1-2 punch for attracting visitors. A unique feature at Cape Kidnappers is the 2,500 acres of conversation land, maintained to preserve the native Kiwi birds and other endangered species. Guests can tour the sanctuary with guides for an immersive experience. And if you really want to get your hands dirty, join the property farm team for a day of sheepherding. A must-visit for the adventurous golfer.
