Why Cape Kidnappers Is a Standout Stop on Our North Island Tour

Every Ultimate Golf Tours itinerary includes courses that leave a lasting impression, and Cape Kidnappers is one of them. As the tour moves from Taupō into Hawke's Bay, the landscape changes dramatically. Volcanic terrain gives way to towering coastal cliffs, creating a completely new setting and a fresh challenge within our North Island golf tour.

This change of scenery is intentional. It ensures every stage of our golf tours in New Zealand feels different, both on and off the course.

Championship Golf on New Zealand's Rugged Coastline

Designed by Tom Doak, Cape Kidnappers follows dramatic ridgelines above the Pacific Ocean, where changing winds and bold green complexes encourage thoughtful shot-making. While the views are unforgettable, the course is equally respected for its strategic design and championship quality.
