Bandon Dunes

The story of how arguably the world’s top golf resort came to be, is a good one. Mike Keiser, an entrepreneur who made his money printing gift cards on recycled paper, fell in love with golf and, in particular, links golf. Instead of just playing top courses at private clubs around the world he felt the need to create his own brilliant layouts – but a key motivating factor was to keep the courses open to the public. It’s an everyman sentiment that’s sometimes at odds with the exclusive …

South Cape Owners Club

You can enjoy both Korean and Western food here but I’d be choosing the seafood. The thrust of South Cape’s restaurant is to “maximize taste of the local and seasonal raw integrant” in keeping with the seaside location. And the view from here is stunning…

Cape Kidnappers

New Zealand offers so many beautiful locations to visit and this, I can confidently say, is one of its jewels. Set on luxurious farmland overlooking Hawke’s Bay on the North Island, Cape Kidnappers offers an unforgettable luxury golf experience, especially for couples.
Renowned American golf architect Tom Doak embraced the rugged coastal features to provide a true challenge for both the amateur and professional golfer.

From the air, the fairways look like long green fingers that extend right to the edge of 140-meter (460-foot) cliffs above the Pacific on the back nine…
