Tour Cost AUD 11,900/Couple (AUD 5,950 pp Twin Share)
Single AUD 7,600 pp
We warmly invite you to join Trendsetter Travel Golf Tour’s 2026 Queenstown golf tour. This tour includes 6 games at each of the golf courses located within a 45 minute drive of our accommodation at Millbrook Golf Resort, excepting The Hills which is closed to visitors during its upcoming two-year upgrade. Women’s and men’s singles and and pairs competitions will be held for each individual 18 hole games, with an additional Millbrook competition for all 36 holes at Millbrook played on both the Remarkables and Coronet courses.
Queenstown truly is the resort golf capital of Australasia with countless sightseeing and sporting activities, including magnificent golf, set against a stunning mountain and lake background. It offers abundant accommodation options, among which Millbrook is clearly best-in-class. The resort is superbly maintained and while the courses, the trees and gardens might have matured since its opening in 1993, everything strikes the right blend of comfortable modernity within a very special landscape.
In contrast to our Te Arai tour, which dovetails with this Queenstown tour, all golf will be played in motorised carts. If you elect to walk with a pull trolley for any of the golf games, we will provide a cash credit equal to the cost saving other than where golf carts are compulsory, i.e. Jacks Point and the Coronet Course at Millbrook. An election to walk with a pull trolley must be made at the time of payment of your deposit.
Our Queenstown tour is close to the longest day of the year on 22 December, thus you will enjoy daylight from 6 a.m. until around 10 p.m. We have chosen this pre-Christmas period as it avoids the large summer crowds and the various periods of annual course maintenance. It also allows us to get optimal group tee off times at all the golf courses we are scheduled to play. While it is summer, note that New Zealand weather can be very variable and you should prepare for cold to very warm temperatures.
Your tour hosts will be Adrienne Witteman and David Cooper.
ITINERARY SUMMARY

This morning transfer to Arrowtown Golf Club, ten minutes’ drive from Millbrook. Established in 1911, it has been ranked in the top 10 golf courses in New Zealand at various times. While not long, the many narrow fairways with tight approaches into greens makes this a most challenging golf course to play to your handicap. The course features several quirky golf holes. Tee off is from 10 am.
Independent dining this evening.
Inclusions – Accommodation, breakfast, golf, drinks post golf and prize giving
Wednesday 2 December 2026 – Queenstown – Free Day
Today is free for you to enjoy. Queenstown is a veritable playground of activities, be it the thrill of jetboating or the more sedate cruise to Walter Peak, for a delicious luncheon and farm exploration. Or you might just choose to rest and relax at Millbrook. Whatever you choose is sure to please.
Independent dining this evening.
Inclusions – Accommodation and breakfast
Thursday 3 December 2026 – Golf – Queenstown Golf Club
Late this morning we depart for the Queenstown Golf Club, the original of all the Queenstown Golf Courses, founded in 1915. While the club was relocated several times before finding its permanent home on the Kelvin Heights peninsula, it is arguably the most scenic setting of any golf course in New Zealand with magnificent views from every hole. Queenstown Golf Club has a reputation for having the fastest greens in the Queenstown area. Tee off is from 12.30 p.m.
Independent dining this evening.

Friday 4 December 2026 – Golf - Jacks Point
Today we depart at 8.30 am for a 30 minute transfer to play Jacks Point, with tee times from 9.50 am. This is arguably the best golf course in the South Island and certainly rivals the best in New Zealand. Jacks Point club rooms enjoy a lovely ambience, perfect for drinks post golf.
