Breakfast will be ready for you before we helicopter out to play 18 holes at the stunning Carrington Golf Club. The unique feature of this golf course is that, although it has an ocean side location, it looks and plays like an “inland golf” course, complete with rolling hills, vales, and natural water hazards but with the beautiful ocean views of its seaside location. the course is 6,417 metres in length, par 72, and encompasses a variety of terrains from rolling vales to challenging water holes. the course is designed to accommodate golfers of all abilities and offers a great variety of hole play, from one of the longest par 5’s in New Zealand 605 metres, to one of the shortest par 3’s at 113 metres over water. After the game the helicopter will be waiting to transfer you back to the Island Passage. Later you can relax on-board or enjoy another afternoon of sport fishing in these world-renowned fishing waters. Dinner will be served on board from 7.00pm.
