Millbrook Golf Resort, Queenstown
This region feels like another world. This is the stunning landscape seen by millions of people all over the world in the film trilogy The Lord of the Rings. Close to Millbrook Resort is the Arrow River where Arwen carried the dying Frodo across the river on horseback to escape the pursuing Black Riders.
Queenstown is also a hub for adventure tourism and has an unsurpassed menu of thrills from skydiving, whitewater rafting, hang-gliding, jetboating the spectacular Dart River from Glenorchy, to more easy-going activities like wine tours. Pinot Noir from this region is among the best in the world. Visit

Golf Course
The Millbrook Golf Course, designed by Sir Bob Charles, is without question one of the finest alpine golf courses in the world. It's a 6412 metre, par-72 that is relatively wide open and trouble free for golfers of all handicaps. It's not the awesome challenge of the course that attracts players so much as its awesome setting. Nowhere else in New Zealand can you play golf with a mountain range like The Remarkables as a backdrop.
When Sir Bob designed Millbrook he did the right thing by creating a number of elevated tees that highlight the spectacular mountain scenery. the Par-5 fifth hole, for example, begins from an elevated tee and sweeps majestically arounmd a pond and a series of bunkers. It give you an interesting risk-reward choice; either cut the corner and risk ending up in a bunker or the pond, for the reward of having a shot at the green in two. Or play it safe out to the left.
The par-3 13th hole has one of the most elevated tees and may be the most picturesque hole on the course, while the 18th, another par-5, is one of the finest finishing holes in New Zealand. It is possible to reach the green in two, but only if you can carry the stream that runs in front of it.
After golf, stop in at the Hole-In-One bar, the perfect 19th hole before dinner at either The Clubhouse that overlooks the 18th green, Sala Sala Japanese restaurant or The Millhouse Restaurant located in the property's original millhouse.
The new Spa at Millbrook offers full body treatments, hydrotherapy, facials, and the one treatment that is extremely popular with golfers: foot massage.
