Millbrook Resort & Country Club

Alpine links perfection in the Southern Hemisphere—where championship golf meets 650 acres of mountain majesty.

About the Course

Millbrook Resort sits like a crown jewel on 650 acres of pristine Central Otago countryside, offering golfers one of the world's most breathtaking championship experiences. The resort boasts two stunning 18-hole courses carved into an alpine amphitheatre, framed by the iconic Remarkables Mountains and the Crown Range. Each hole tells a story of natural terrain mastery—designed first by Sir Bob Charles, then refined by Greg Turner—blending dramatic elevation changes, tussock rough, schist stone, and strategic water features into a test that thrills every skill level.

What makes Millbrook transcendent is the marriage of golf and setting. You'll play from elevated tees surveying panoramic vistas, navigate risk-reward par-5s around pristine alpine lakes, and finish rounds under skies that seem impossibly blue. The Remarkables Course (originally Arrow 9 and Remarkables 9 combined) delivers traditional parklands flow with elevated drama, while the newer Coronet Course sits higher on the property, offering even more commanding views and strategic complexity.

But Millbrook isn't just about the 36 holes—it's about the complete immersion. The resort hosts the prestigious New Zealand Open, regularly wins accolades as Asia-Pacific's best golf course, and offers a 5-star lodging and spa experience without equal. Groups will find themselves dining at award-winning restaurants, soaking in outdoor hot pools between rounds, and retreating to beautifully appointed suites with mountain or fairway views. This is golf at its most luxurious and uncompromising.

Why It's Great for Groups
  • Two championship 18-hole courses with five tee positions each—infinite variety and playability for mixed-ability groups
  • Home of the ISPS Handa New Zealand Open, hosted exclusively here and The Hills—immediate pedigree and tournament-quality conditioning
  • Stunning alpine setting carved into 650 acres with the Remarkables Mountains as your constant backdrop—every hole is a gallery
  • Luxury 5-star resort with on-site accommodation, spa, multiple restaurants, and hot pools—groups can stay entirely on property without leaving
  • Absolutely walking-friendly terrain with cart-optional play—perfect for groups who want to experience the course on foot

Best Time to Visit
December to February for warm, sun-filled summer golf with up to 15 hours of daylight and temperatures around 20-25°C. March to May (autumn) is spectacular for fall foliage and brilliant photography in Arrowtown—mid to late April peaks with golden leaves—plus fewer crowds and lower prices. Avoid June-August (winter) unless you're willing to accept cold temperatures (2-12°C), though the New Zealand Open typically runs late February. Spring (September-November) is underrated: pleasant warming weather, spring blooms, and quiet trails without summer throngs.
