There are few more majestic sites for a golf course than the 5,000-acre sheep station on the southeastern tip of the North Island that was handed to designer Tom Doak by Robertson in 2003. Doak designed a masterpiece that is ranked No. 41 on Golf Magazine's Top 100 Courses in the World, its holes draped over seven fingers of land that slide down to the very edge of the 600-foot-high cliffs.
Three holes in particular -- Nos. 14, 15 and 16 (which feature names like "Widow's Walk" and "Pirate's Plank") -- are daunting promontories that seem balanced delicately above the sheer drop.
If you're afraid of heights, you might want to pack some pills for this round. Cape Kidnappers earns the highest accolade possible for a serious golfer to pay -- it's so good, and the setting so stunning, that you forget about your score.
