The Kinloch Club – Lake Taupo, New Zealand.

Opened in 2007, Jack Nicklaus’ lone Signature Design in New Zealand retains a lofty position in the growing list of world class layouts in the country. 

Few inland courses are blessed with an environment that features the glittering expanse of Lake Taupo, mountains and wooded hillsides, not to mention the crumpled landscape that Nicklaus’ design team were able to shape on land sweeping towards the lake. Absolutely spectacular.
