An extensive tournament package includes four rounds of spectacular golf playing one of New Zealand’s best courses, Kauri Cliffs in carts (#37 in Golf Digest World Top 100 Greatest Golf Course Rankings), Waitangi, Bay of Islands Kerikeri and Whangaroa. The four rounds of golf will be played over five days, Monday to Friday, with a rest day scheduled for Wednesday so you can explore the region.

Stay at the tournament hotel for the week at the Copthorne Bay of Islands Resort, our naming sponsor and tournament hub. The Resort is a 4-star property located right on the harbour with ocean views and is central to the four golf courses, cafés, restaurants and local tourist attractions.
