- Scenic Breaks: The clubhouse balcony offers lake and mountain views.
Challenges:

Reviews of Queenstown Golf Club
Dan Stocks (BigT)
A solid 4 star golf course....we had a 9am tee time....not busy at all....bit cool though...but it warmed up pretty quick. Fantastic views and the course presented really well with the hole 10 "infinity" green a highlight. Proshop and bar staff really friendly. 👍
Karolin Wolf
What a great golf course. We were able to play the second 9 holes and the views are spectacular, greens and fairways in excellent condition. Staff is easy-going, helpful (we hired two club sets) and gave us great advice where to play next. The clubhouse offers good coffee for a very good price and i highly recommend the egg sandwich. Overall, we love this golfclub!!

A golf course is open and playing along the lake. Nice and fantastic scenery. In a nice sunny spring season, a set of golf game will great!
Pablo Morales
This course was great all around. Just a few minutes from downtown queenstown, with amazing views in every hole. The staff was great and we were able to play without having a tee time booked in advance. Course was in good shape.
Anthony Spiteri
Came on a drive on our last day other side of Queenstown looking for a cafe and this is the only one… but it’s amazingly welcoming and has a great menu for breakfast and other snacks with brilliant views either side.
