Jack's Point Golf Course, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Remarkables Mountain Range and overlooking the crystal-clear waters of Lake Wakatipu, is one of the most visually spectacular courses in New Zealand. Located near Queenstown, this course is renowned for its natural beauty, challenging layout, and impeccable integration with the rugged landscape.

The course at Jack's Point is a par-72, measuring over 7,000 yards from the championship tees. Designed by John Darby, the course follows a philosophy of minimal environmental impact and natural preservation. The layout weaves through native tussock grasslands, dramatic rock outcroppings, and steep bluffs, with over 70% of the original vegetation retained.

Jack's Point's layout is characterized by strategic play, where the natural hazards of the land, including schist rock formations and steep drop-offs, are embraced to enhance the golfing challenge. The fairways are firm and fast, demanding precision and careful consideration of the wind, which can vary greatly and affect play significantly.

Signature holes abound, but the 7th and the 17th are particularly memorable. The 7th hole is a challenging par-4 played from an elevated tee that requires a drive over a natural canyon, while the green sits against a backdrop of Lake Wakatipu, making it one of the most photographed in New Zealand. The 17th, also a par-4, offers a tee shot with the Remarkables Mountain Range directly in the line of play, providing a stunning visual challenge.

The greens at Jack's Point are large and complex, with subtle undulations that respect the natural contours of the land. The bunkers are rugged and naturalistic, echoing the raw beauty of the surrounding environment. The course's overall design philosophy emphasizes playability and the enjoyment of the game in one of the world’s most scenic settings.
