Set in the heart of Wairakei Tourist Park with its rising steam and thermal attractions, this magnificent parkland course lies on    
450 acres of natural rolling countryside and offers magnificent tree-lined fairways and large greens.  It's also been developed 
to meet the rigorous design standards required for world class championship competition.
The end result is a course that sprawls over the property using the natural contours to the fullest.  This coupled with the 6429
metres from the championship tees and 108 large well placed bunkers has lead to word acclaim.
In January 1996 US Golf Digest rated Wairakei 17th best golf course outside of the USA.  This plus featuring in publications like  
the World Atlas of Golf enhances the growing reputation of Wairakei  - but it is really the natural beauty and sheer experience
of the property that makes Wairakei a must for both casual and serious golfers alike.
