Picturesque Queenstown adorned with mostly sunny days, set the stage for a week filled with excellent food, great company, and, of course, magnificent golf.

The golf adventure began at journey began at Jack's Point Golf Club. Nestled against the breathtaking backdrop of the Remarkables and shimmering Lake Wakatipu, this course was set to unfold a rugged and wild adventure. John Darby’s design showcases New Zealand's prowess in creating golfing masterpieces. One can't help but marvel at the charm and the rugged allure that defines this course. It was more than a round of golf; it was an adventure etched in the untamed landscapes of the South Island.

Our next round was at Arrowtown Golf Club on a day forecast to be chilly and wet. However, as luck would have it, the sun decided to grace us with its presence, proving that even the weather favours On The Tee Tours. The hosts had a warm surprise planned for the the golfers at the 11th hole– a wee drop of scotch at the tee-box of the aptly named 'Johnny Walker' hole. But with the unexpected sunshine, spirits remained high, and the scotch became a delightful option rather than a necessity.

Next on our golfing adventure was Millbrook Resort, nestled near Arrowtown. The Coronet Championship Course awaited our tour, blending seamlessly with the natural rugged features of the landscape. From schist outcrops to undulating terrain, the course offered a truly spectacular golfing experience. The Mill Stream quietly meandered through, providing a peaceful contrast to the drama of sheer rock faces.

Post-game, we ventured into the historical charm of Arrowtown itself. The streets lined with quaint shops beckoned us, offering a perfect complement to our day on the course. A refreshing drink at one of the local watering holes was the ideal way to round off the day.

After a leisurely day exploring non-golf activities in Queenstown, we concluded our journey with a final round at Queenstown Golf Club. Situated amidst the beautiful surroundings of Lake Wakatipu and above the town, the course was nothing short of picturesque. Every tee offered ample photo opportunities, capturing the essence of the stunning scenery that surrounded us.

As we wrapped up this tour, the last for 2023, we reflected on the camaraderie, the challenging courses, and the picturesque landscapes that made this trip truly special.

Until our next swing together, may your drives be long, your putts be true, and your golfing memories be everlasting!
