Opened eight years ago on the northeastern coast of the North Island, Kauri Cliffs was the first salvo in Wall Street tycoon Julian Robertson's bid to make New Zealand a golf destination.
He landed one hell of a blow. This David Harman design occupies a spectacular setting overlooking the Pacific and features numerous forced carries over breathtaking -- and knee-knocking -- gorges. The four-hole stretch from 14 through 17 clings precariously to the cliffs and, depending on the wind, can offer you some of the most memorable birdies (or unmentionables) of your life.
But the real quality of Kauri Cliffs is evident in the inland holes. The 560-yard par-5 4th, named "Cambo" after local hero Michael Campbell, is a superb risk/reward challenge, with a ravine lurking on the right and bunkers short left. Nos. 10 and 11 are short par 4s with receptive landing areas, but both demand premium shots on the approaches.
This is the kind of course that demands you play 36 a day -- if you have balls remaining for the second round.
