Perched high above the Pacific Ocean on New Zealand’s North Island, Cape Kidnappers Golf Course is an acclaimed modern resort layout designed by Tom Doak and opened in 2004. Built upon a dramatic Hawke's Bay sheep station envisioned by Julian and Josie Robertson, the course features fairways running along elevated ridges and sheer clifftops plunging nearly 150 meters to the sea. The minimalist design requires little earth-moving, offering generous fairways, firm turf, and strategic challenges influenced by constant coastal winds and iconic holes like the narrow par-5 "Pirate’s Plank." Beyond the sport, the property encompasses the Cape Sanctuary, a predator-proof haven protecting native wildlife such as kiwi and gannets alongside a working farm and luxury lodge. Recently celebrating its 20th anniversary with a comprehensive green renovation, this globally ranked bucket-list destination seamlessly combines breathtaking natural scenery with thoughtful, strategic golf architecture.
