There’s golf, and then there’s Jack’s Point — a place where the game feels less like a sport and more like an immersion into the raw soul of New Zealand’s landscape.
Set against the jagged spine of the Remarkables mountain range and unfolding down toward the glassy stillness of Lake Wakatipu, Jack’s Point Golf Course doesn’t just sit in the landscape — it breathes with it. Located just 20 minutes from Queenstown, this course is not a detour on a golfing holiday — it’s a destination that just happens to include 18 spectacular holes of golf.
Jack’s Point wasn’t so much “built” as revealed. When course designer John Darby first walked the site, he made a rare decision in the world of golf design — he let the land dictate the layout. No gaudy reshaping or artificial flair. The fairways snake through ancient rock formations and native tussocks that sway in the alpine wind. Hazards are natural — sheer drops, steep ravines, and the occasional gust that barrels down from the mountains without warning.
It stretches over 6,388 meters (almost 7,000 yards) from the tips, but don’t be fooled by the numbers — the real challenge is the precision the course demands. One moment you’re swinging into an alpine amphitheatre, the next you’re navigating a ridge that feels like it should belong in a Lord of the Rings set. And with five tee boxes per hole, golfers of all skill levels can find their perfect balance of thrill and enjoyment.
Unlike many luxury developments, Jack’s Point is not about consumption; it’s about coexistence. Only 5% of the estate’s 1,200 hectares will ever be developed. The rest is preserved as open space, native bushland, and wetland habitats. The course uses minimal irrigation, favours natural grass species, and supports local wildlife. It’s little wonder that it earned an IAGTO Sustainability Award for nature protection.
Even the buildings blend with the land — think cedar, schist, and glass, mirroring the textures and tones of the environment. Nothing here feels imposed.
What sets Jack’s Point apart isn’t just the golf — it’s the sense of community being built around it. At the heart of the estate is Jack’s Point Village, a collection of homes, cafes, trails, and gathering places beside the serene man-made Lake Tewa.
From here, you can lace up your hiking boots or hop on a mountain bike and explore over 25 kilometers of trails winding through the property. It’s the kind of place where you might start the day with a tee shot and end it paddleboarding as the sun sinks behind the peaks.
Of course, Jack’s Point is just one star in Queenstown’s glittering constellation. Known as the “Adventure Capital of the World,” Queenstown is home to bungy jumping, heli-skiing, ziplining, skydiving — and some of the world’s finest Pinot Noir vineyards. Want après-golf in the form of a lakeside wine tasting or a gondola ride above town? This is your place.
In winter, the Remarkables and Coronet Peak offer world-class skiing, while the warmer months open up every kind of adventure imaginable — from jet boating on the Shotover River to fly fishing in alpine streams.
Jack’s Point doesn’t need gimmicks. It doesn’t try to impress with luxury for luxury’s sake. Its power is subtler — a kind of magic born from restraint. The course lets nature take center stage. It whispers stories of history, land, and identity with every hole you play.
For golfers who appreciate not just the challenge of a good round but the feeling of being somewhere unforgettable — Jack’s Point is the kind of place that will linger with you long after the final putt drops.
