The Koura Bay Golf Course is a premier 9-hole layout situated at the Koura Bay Golf Resort, just five minutes north of the Kaikōura township. Designed strategically with 18 distinct tee boxes, this innovative design allows players to experience a full 18-hole round while maximising the spectacular, undulating coastal terrain.
Nestled at the base of the majestic Kaikōura ranges, the course provides spectacular 360-degree panoramic views that capture both snow-capped mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The 2,500-meter layout features a challenging mix of five par 4s, three par 3s, and one par 5. Generous but deceptively sloped greens demand precise approaches.
Strategic water hazards come into play on the par-5 hole and the signature 9th hole, creating a dramatic finish directly in front of the resort lodge.

The facility caters to all skill levels, offering casual green-fee play alongside modern pro shop amenities, club hire, coaching, and a fleet of electric carts.
After a round, golfers can relax at the onsite restaurant and bar.
