 
The Kinloch Club was rated on opening in 2007 as the top new golf course outside North America by the prestigious US Travel and Leisure Golf Magazine.
The par 72 eighteen hole Championship golf course measures:
- 6734 metres (7363 yards) from the Tournament tees.
- 5961 metres (6519 yards) from the White tees.
- 4640 metres (5072 yards) from the Red tees.
The Kinloch Club is open for play five days a week (Wednesday to Sunday) upon request. We are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays for course maintenance, however can arrange for play by prior arrangement.
The Golden Bear visited Kinloch to oversee construction of his signature Championship golf course and returned to The Kinloch Club in February of 2008 to play the course for the first time since completion. Jack was extremely happy with how his vision had come to fruition and was greatly impressed with the maturity of the golf course after it’s 'grow in' stage.
The Kinloch Club (Nicklaus signature golf course) is the only Nicklaus designed golf course in New Zealand.
