Millbrook Resort (Remarkables course)

4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

Est. 1992

Millbrook Resort (Remarkables course): for many years this expansive luxury resort boasted an 18-hole course, comprising the Remarkables and Arrow nines. In 2010 the Coronet-nine was added. In 2014 the purchase of the neighbouring Dalgliesh Farm on its west flank, allowed Millbrook to extend the Coronet-nine into a full 18, with the resort now able to boast two 18-hole championship courses.

The Remarkables course at Millbrook now comprises the two original nines, Remarkables and Arrow. The good-width fairways are set in a relatively open environment, accompanied by many pot bunkers, and water hazards on at least seven of the holes. The superb greens are shaped and sized according to the demands of each hole, some large and slopey, others quite small.

Surrounded by high mountains and tree covered hills on all sides, Millbrook provides one of the very best resort experiences on the golfers' and non-golfers' trail in New Zealand. With outstanding scenery throughout, the course can be easy-going or tough and long - the choice is yours, depending on which tees you select. Resort real estate does come into play on a few holes, but the overall feel is generally that of natural mountain splendour.

Pick of the holes: amongst many wonderfully crafted golf holes, the Arrow-nine closes-out with a memorable par-3, played to a water-surrounded green in front of the Millhouse and Smithy's Smoke House.

Stay&Play at Millbrook: luxury onsite accommodation available, see Where2Stay section below.

Did you know?

The Milltown luxury resort occupies what was originally a working farm. The old mill, still with turning waterwheel, is one of several historic buildings on the resort - it is now the Millhouse Restaurant. The use of local schist stone for many of the constructions, and the scattering of old farm machinery here and there, reinforces the resort's historic feel. All the while, looking down on the resort, are the Remarkables mountain range (to the south) and Coronet Peak (to the west).

Published ranking

New Zealand's best courses (Australian Golf Digest, 2023/24):
Millbrook's Coronet course ranked 11th best in NZ; Remarkables course ranked 20th best.
