Te Arai Links, South
11 Te Ara Whenua Miharo Kotiti, Tomarata 0975, New Zealand
Te Arai Links' South Course offers a coastal New Zealand round shaped by sandy ground and the ocean setting. The design rewards golfers who enjoy changing perspectives and the strategic use of contours. This entry concerns South specifically, rather than the whole resort or the separate North Course. The presence of two substantial layouts makes an extended stay appealing, but a booking should identify the exact sequence of rounds. Tara Iti nearby remains a different club with different access conditions. The broader destination should not be treated as one shared golf entitlement. Book South through Te Arai Links. Confirm visitor eligibility, any accommodation-linked booking conditions, walking or caddie arrangements and the date-specific course allocation. Before travelling, ask for the current course conditions and the full cost of the intended round, including any required services. Keep the written confirmation with the itinerary, and allow enough time for check-in and preparation rather than arriving at the scheduled tee time. Green-fee bookings open within 28 days of play. The South Course lists aerification closures for 26–30 April and 30 August–3 September 2027, with approximately ten days’ recovery afterwards. Te Arai is walking-only and permits spikeless footwear only, including a ban on soft spikes.
