Designer:
Course Opened: 1964

Rangatira was designed by Doug Leng-Ward and opened in 1964. A highlight is the electrically powered cable car which takes you from the 18th green on the lowest level back up to the club house.

The course is on three levels with outstanding views of the Rangitikei River. The well groomed fairways and watered greens are surrounded by native birds and bush. There are no bunkers...
 
Says New ZealandGolf Digest, "Rangatira Golf Club sits halfway between Wellington and Taupo on SH1. Often referred to as a “hidden gem”, the course is built on three levels, complete with an electric cable car that shuttles players from the 18th green up to the clubhouse. While the course offers sweeping views of the snaking Rangitikei River, the short, downhill, par-4 13th is a standout at 243 metres with two large pines guarding the entrance to the green."
