The Hills Golf Club

Located in Arrowtown, only 20 minutes from Queenstown, The Hills has been the home of the past three New Zealand Opens for good reason. The course was laid out across a glacial valley and this is showcased by the dramatic elevation changes and rocky schist outcrops that are a feature of the area. Elevated tees make for exciting shots but also allow the golfer to take in the panoramic views around them – some of the most colorful anywhere in the world.

Incorporating clever waste areas planted with native tussocks, the greens here are relatively accommodating to incoming shots. The Hills is a truly memorable experience with its state-of-the-clubhouse even winning the Supreme Award for Architecture. If you’re lucky enough to get a game, keep an eye out for the many artistic sculptures that occupy the layout, including “The Wolves” on the 18th.

The Hills was designed by Darby Partners and opened in 2007 to host the New Zealand Open. Set over 500 acres of land across a glacial valley the layout highlights the dramatic elevation changes and rocky schist outcrops that are a feature of the area.

This championship layout provides a serious challenge for accomplished players while thoughtful and considerate design means that the golf course is equally enjoyable for golfers of all abilities. The beauty of the courses lakes, waterways and wetland areas are complemented by a stunning array of sculptures made by local and international artists

The Hills is an all-inclusive experience which includes unlimited wine, breakfast and lunch throughout the day. We will attempt to arrange the golf to be played with members.
