Sound on 🔊 No trending audio, just the sounds of Queenstown.

From the toot of the TSS Earnslaw across the waterfront to the trickle of the fountain in Queenstown Gardens and native birdsong, this place has a sound all of its own.

Save this for the next time you need a minute.

Every round comes with a lake and alpine backdrop ⛳

Queenstown is home to the New Zealand Open, with championship and experience courses all within easy reach of town. Play a round, then settle in for a long lunch and a glass of Central Otago Pinot Noir.

Not a golfer? There’s plenty for the rest of the group too.

Send this to your golf crew and start locking in dates.
