Case Study: Millbrook Golf Course

Original course Architects: John Darby & Sir Bob Charles Millbrook

Millbrook was the first resort course to be built in New Zealand. The new Millbrook West holes, designed by Greg Turner and Scott McPherson, offer players exciting new challenges. 3 interchangeable 9 hole courses – the Remarkables Nine, Coronet Nine and the Arrow Nine form part of the new ‘Coronet Nine’.
