Kauri Cliffs was designed and built by David Harman of Golf Course Consultants, Orlando, Florida. The par 72 championship golf course measures 7,119 yards / 6,510 metres and offers five sets of tees to challenge every skill level. Fifteen holes view the Pacific Ocean, six of which are played alongside cliffs which plunge to the sea. The beautiful inland holes wind through marsh, forest and farmland. Kauri Cliffs is currently ranked #39 in the world by Golf Digest Top 100 Greatest Golf Courses in the World.

Kauri Cliffs recently underwent a renovation from world renowned golf course architect Rees Jones. The 5th hole received a complete redesign and was transformed from a long, uphill, forced carry par-3 to a short "drop shot" par-3. Other notable changes were the addition of tees on the 2nd and 9th holes and a bunker renovation on the 4th hole. The golf complex includes a world-class practice range, putting and chipping greens, a well stocked golf shop, and ladies’ and men’s locker rooms. Premium ladies’ and men’s rental clubs are available. One of the greatest golf courses in the world. The 18 hole course features ocean views from 15 holes, with stunning vistas over the Pacific Ocean and offshore Cavalli Islands.

Kauri Cliffs can provide premium rental equipment including golf shoes, as well as apparel and accessories. You are most welcome to bring your own clubs, shoes and golf balls. Golfers may choose the walk the golf course, use a trundler/pullcart, one of our ClubCar Precedent golf carts, or utilize the services of a caddie or forecaddie. We kindly request that any caddie needs be communicated in advance of your arrival. The golf facilities include a full practice facility, men’s and women’s locker rooms with lockers and shower facilities, and a fully stocked golf shop with golf accessories, apparel, local artwork, and souvenirs.

Kauri Cliffs is one of the most sought after luxury lodges in the world, and is part of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux collection.

With ground transfers and sufficient time for golf, an excursion to Kauri Cliffs typically takes between five to seven hours for the full experience. However, we are a low-volume facility, playing approximately 30 rounds of golf per day, so pace of play is typically not a concern. We can also accommodate golfers with special rates for nine holes, or an amount of holes that will allow them to finish in time for their departure..
