Taupo is a popular resort town, nestled on the banks of Lake Taupo, New Zealand’s largest lake.

Kiwis, as New Zealand’s best. The wild life and native bush that surrounds this picturesque

Day Three: Today you play the difficult Jack Nicklaus Signature Course, Kinloch Golf
Course. Rated by recent European press visitors as arguably the best course in New Zealand
– a big call!!
This is a typical Nicklaus course, with many subtle challenges, a great challenge for the low
