The most demanding course in New Zealand, dubbed "The Extreme." Enjoy some spectacular views from the hills of McLaren Falls Park. Besides the lush views, the park is a wonderful place to visit in its own right, especially in the fall, when the trees are at their most vibrant. For bird enthusiasts, a large variety of native and non-native birds await those whose minds wander from their game.
This course can be punishing with occasional gusty winds, steep hills and nothing there to stop a roller. It's not uncommon for a shot that hit the ground 3 meters from the basket to end up over 100 meters down a gully! There are also challenging tunnel shots, over the tops of trees shots, a few water hazards, fantastic elevation changes, both up and down, and ridge shots that may favour the brave.
The course starts at the Pin Oak Flats campgrounds. There is also a cabin at the top of the course that can be rented by groups.
