What happens when one of New Zealand’s finest golf architects transforms an ancient riverbed into a championship golf course?

The answer is Tieke Golf Estate—one of the country’s newest and most celebrated golfing destinations. Located just outside Hamilton in the heart of the Waikato, Tieke has rapidly earned recognition as one of New Zealand’s Top 20 golf courses.

Built upon the exposed sands of the original Waikato River, the course delivers an experience unlike anywhere else in New Zealand. Rolling sandy waste areas, fine fescue fairways, and expansive natural contours create an authentic links-style layout despite being more than 50 kilometres from the coast.
