Jack's Point Golf Course & Restaurant (with kids)
How Kids-Friendly is Jack's Point Golf Course & Restaurant?
What makes it 65% Kids-Friendly: A playground, pump track and flat lake loop keep 4-12 yr olds busy, and kids portions exist, yet there is no staffed kids program and the full 18-hole walk is too long.
Positives:
- Free family fun: Pump track, playground and lakeside walk cost nothing.
- Scenic backdrop: Clubhouse overlooks Lake Tewa and the Remarkables for great photos.
Challenges:
- Limited shade: Sections of the pump track and trails have no cover; bring sun protection.
- Remote drive: About a 20-minute drive from Queenstown centre; plan transport ahead.
