Cape Kidnappers

Perched high above Hawkes Bay is the world famous Cape Kidnappers, 500 ft above sea level infact.

The weather Gods were kind for our visit and it was a really strong test of golf. Large undulating greens and interesting movement on each hole.

Personally, the back 9 proved most memorable but in saying that, the whole round was enjoyable as was the experience from entering off the road and taking a lengthy drive uphill through the estate.

Tom Doak designed this unique routing in 2004 and it consistently ranks highly in all course listings. I can only imagine how tough it could be on a stormier day.
