Queenstown quality on show for 2025 Queenstown Golf Week

2025 Queenstown Golf Week a massive hit for golfers

Amazing golf and jaw-dropping scenery greeted SGA Golfers once again

SGA returned to Queenstown, New Zealand, for the 2025 Queenstown Golf Week, and the trip proved to be everything (and more) that golfers look for in a golf trip.

With some of New Zealand's top courses on offer, including Millbrook's Coronet and Remarkables courses, Jack's Point and Queenstown Golf Club, our golfers were once again treated to an exceptional week of golf.

2025 Queenstown Golf Week Recap

ARRIVAL AND WELCOME DINNER

Following a short flight from Australia, golfers made their way to Crowne Plaza Queenstown, our new home-base for the week. That night, guests enjoyed a hosted Welcome Party at the Queenstown Skyline Stratosfare restaurant, at the top of the famous Queenstown Gondola. Golfers and their partners were treated to good food and drinks, a relaxed vibe, sweeping views of Queenstown, and a jovial atmosphere as they met their fellow golfers (many set to be life-long friends) for the week.

DAY 1 - JACK'S POINT GC

Day 1 of the 2025 Queenstown Golf Week saw golfers experience the spectacular Jack's Point - a bucket-list golf course for golfers across the planet. Despite unseasonably cold and wet conditions (in the area's wettest spring on record), our golfers braved the elements and tackled the South Island's #1-rated course. With spectacular views of the Remarkables mountain range and Lake Wakatipu, the course proved to be challenging and enjoyable - and had many golfers determined to return to play it again next year.

Thanks to the entire team at Jack's Point for hosting us!

DAY 2 - QUEENSTOWN GOLF CLUB

Day 2 saw the clouds part, and the sun begin to bask our golfers in warmth. And despite a short snowshower (!!!) for the first group, the field enjoyed spectacular views and some high-quality golf. The course -- located in Kelvin Heights, on an island across the bay from the city of Queenstown -- was a smash with golfers, and a treat to play.

A huge thanks to Queenstown GC for sharing your course with us.

DAY 3 - REST DAY

A well-earned "rest day" for many of our golfers in Queenstown. There is SO MUCH to do in the area, it's hard to choose just one or two activities. While some of our guests took the opportunity to rest, others took the day to explore Queenstown, "the Adventure Capital of the World"

DAY 4 MILLBROOK CORONET

Thursday and Friday, our golfers played the magnificent Millbrook Golf Club, host of the NZ Open. The 36-hole facility was a real treat for our golfers to experience it in all its glory. The courses featured gorgeous scenery all around, which (if you're not careful) can distract you from the golf itself. Overall, it was a challenging and enjoyable two days. The course staff were friendly and helpful, and our golfers had a great time.

Thanks to the course and staff for hosting us and making it a memorable two days.

DAY 5 MILLBROOK REMARKABLES

FAREWELL DINNER

Following the day, golfers and their non-golfing partners converged at Brazz Steakhouse for the Presentation Dinner. With some tasty food (and PLENTY of beverages) consumed, the night was a relaxing and fun evening where golfers chatted about their glorious (and not-so-glorious, LOL) golf shots and moments across this memorable week.
