Taupō - Centennial Golf Club
Waikato
Taupō Centennial is a stunning 27‑hole course perched on the shores of Lake Taupō, framed by the volcanic peaks of Mt Ngauruhoe, Mt Ruapehu, and Mt Tongariro. Laid out across old pumice terraces and gentle bush slopes, the three nine-hole loops—Century, Puka, and Kaingaroa—are each distinct. Expect sweeping lakefront fairways on one loop, more bobbing undulations amid native tree corridors on another, and strategic bunkering plus subtle elevation changes across all layouts. Fast, true greens demand crisp shot making, and the vista—especially around sunset—is nothing short of breathtaking.
This club offers more than just a beautiful course. With full practice facilities (driving range, putting and chipping areas), rental gear, carts, and a well-appointed clubhouse overlooking the lake, it caters to every golfer’s need. Membership is friendly, but visitors are warmly welcomed—with flexible tee bookings and the ability to mix and match loops depending on your mood or time. Social golf events, twilight rounds, and club competitions keep the atmosphere lively and inviting.
The local Taupō region is a magnet for outdoor lovers. After your round, you can stroll along the lakeside walkway, soak at the nearby hot springs, or take a scenic cruise. There’s world-class trout fishing, skydiving, mountain biking, and volcanic sightseeing—plus a buzzing strip of restaurants, cafés, and boutique shops. So even if you're traveling with non‑golfers, there's plenty to occupy everyone.
Why play Taupō Centennial? It’s the complete package: championship‑quality golf, jaw‑dropping alpine and lakeside scenery, essentials for golfers delivered with style, and a community-driven yet visitor‑friendly vibe. Throw in the thrill of exploring Taupō’s adventure offerings, and you've got the makings of an unforgettable golfing pilgrimage.
