The Hills Golf Club

Opened in 2007, The Hills Golf Club sits near Arrowtown and presents a highly curated championship parkland test shaped by Darby Partners. The par 72 course stretches to 7,317 yards across rolling ground, with immaculate conditioning giving the layout a polished, exacting character from tee to green. Its identity is sharpened by a notable collection of large-scale sculptures placed throughout the property, giving the round a visual rhythm uncommon at a championship venue. That contrast between refined presentation and artistic expression helps distinguish The Hills within the Queenstown area. 

The course has also hosted the New Zealand Open, underlining its tournament standing as well as its playing quality. Private by nature, access is typically limited to member invitation or specific packages, which adds to its sense of discretion. For golfers visiting Queenstown, it offers a more curated and exclusive counterpoint to the region’s better-known resort and lakeside layouts.
