Top Golf – North Island

The North Island abounds with great golf course, but the two best ones are associated with resorts run by the Robertson family: Kauri Cliffs, up north in the Bay of Islands, was created by David Harman and centers around incredible, 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean (it's a par 72 PGA Championship course). The other stunner is located in Hawke's Bay region at Cape Kidnappers. That one was designed by Tom Doak, a golf architect icon, and is currently rated number 38 in the world by Golf magazine. The fact that players golf with views from a 600-foot-tall cliff certainly helps with the Wow factor.
