Day 3. 2009/10
Golf at the Christchurch Golf Club
The Shirley Golf Course is one of the oldest golf clubs in New Zealand and the home of the Christchurch Golf Club.

<>Accommodation(Two nights): MacKenzie Country Lodge
Day 5. 2009/10
Drive to Mount Cook Village + Golf at Ben Ohau
It is just a short drive to Mount Cook village so we can get there and back and still fit in a game of golf across the road from our hotel. Whilst the Ben Ohau course is only nine holes, it is up to championship standard if you play 18 holes. We will check out the best time of the day to play golf and travel to Mt Cook closer to the time of the tour.
Day 6. 2009/10
Travel to Queenstown via Wanaka
Travelling further south we will go via the Lindis Pass and stop for an hour or two in Wanaka to see its tourist attractions before a drive through to Queenstown where we will spend the next three nights. Queenstown is regarded as the tourist capital of New Zealand so there is plenty to do and see.

Day 7. 2009/10
Golf at Kelvin Heights Golf Club
Queenstown has one of the most picturesque golf courses in the world, surrounded by the clean waters of Lake Wakatipu. It is the home of the Queenstown Golf Club. We will try for an afternoon tee off to allow for some retail therapy before we play
Day 8.2009/10
Golf at Milbrook Resort
Just a stones throw away from Arrowtown, one of New Zealand’s historic villages, Milbrook is one of the country’s top resort style courses. We will be able to enjoy the challenges of Milbrook and the charm and beauty of Arrowtown and its surrounds. Both these attractions are just a short drive from Queenstown.
Day 9.2009/10
Travel to Te Anau and play golf
Te Anau is a short drive from Queenstown but we will make and early start to aim for a midday tee off at the Te Anau Golf Club and whilst it is a good course it is not as well catered for as the bigger club so it only can supply three motorized buggies. However it is not a hard course to walk whilst pushing your trundler (which they can spply)
Accommodation: (two nights) Distinction Luxmore Hotel, Te Anau
Day 10.2009/10
Day trip to Doubtful Sound
Real Journeys will be your host today as you travel across Lake Manapouri to cruise Doubtful Sound and visit the Manapouri Power Station.

Day 12.2009/10
Play Balmacewan Course + sights
The home of the Otago Golf Club is our last chance to tame a New Zealand golf course. It is an interesting and in parts very challenging but its beautiful setting makes it a course which must be included in any tour of New Zealand courses. Some limited sight seeing will be available before we tee off.
