Overview

Why it matters

Jack's Point delivers Queenstown golf at its most spectacular. The John Darby and David Kidd design uses the natural drama of Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables mountain range as constant companions, routing across exposed tussock, schist rock outcrops, and native wetlands with a boldness that turns every elevated tee into an event. It is the more accessible Queenstown partner to The Hills, open to guests and visitors rather than confined to private access, and that availability only deepens its reputation.

The course rewards players who approach it with patience and a wide eye. Club selection is shaped more often by mountain wind and altitude than by simple yardage, and the moments where fairway meets lake edge or boulder field carry a particular charge. Jack's Point sits comfortably among New Zealand's finest public-access layouts, and alongside The Hills and Millbrook, it gives Queenstown a golf itinerary that can sustain multiple days without repetition.
