Set above Lake Taupō, The Kinloch Club is New Zealand’s only Jack Nicklaus Signature course, pairing inland links-style ground with bold bunkering, broad movement and a stern championship examination.
Opened in 2007, The Kinloch Club occupies rolling ground above Lake Taupō and brings a different golfing texture to New Zealand’s North Island. Jack Nicklaus shaped the course as a full-blooded championship test, with expansive fairways, pronounced movement through the land and bunkering that asks precise questions from the tee onwards.
At 7,363 yards, it has scale, yet its challenge is not confined to length alone. The inland links-style terrain gives the course a firm, open feel, while the elevation changes create shifting angles and constant visual interest. There is a deliberate, strategic rhythm to the round, with players asked to choose lines carefully and commit to them. The Lake Taupō setting gives Kinloch its sense of place, but the identity of the course is grounded in design discipline rather than scenery alone. It remains a distinctive stop in the Taupō and Central North Island golf itinerary.
