On New Zealand’s North Island, Kauri Cliffs combines dramatic ocean scenery with a course that calls for careful shot-making. Broad fairways, steep changes in elevation, and well-placed bunkers create a fair but testing round that suits a range of abilities. The restaurant specializes in serving fresh local produce in a casual setting, while the lodging is cozy and organically mixes with the surroundings. Away from the course, visitors can stroll along the coast, relax in the spa, or just take in the peaceful surroundings; it’s a place to unwind and appreciate the scenery just as much as playing golf.
