Can I play Millbrook Resort?
Yes — Millbrook is a public-access resort, so anyone can book a round on its two championship courses, the Remarkables and Coronet. Resort guests receive preferential tee times and rates, but non-guests are welcome to play. As the home and co-host of the New Zealand Open, it is one of the country's most sought-after alpine golf experiences.
How to book: Reserve online through the resort's golf department or the pro shop; booking well ahead is wise in the busy summer season and around the New Zealand Open. Staying on-site secures the best rates and priority times, and green fees at peak typically include a cart.
About Millbrook Resort
Millbrook Resort spreads across 650 acres of the glacial Wakatipu Basin near Arrowtown, ringed by the Remarkables range, Coronet Peak and the Crown Range. Its original championship course opened in 1993 to a design by New Zealand golfing great Sir Bob Charles with John Darby, and a second 18, the Coronet, was added in 2010 by Greg Turner and Scott Macpherson, giving the resort 36 holes. Since 2014 Millbrook has been the exclusive home and co-host of the New Zealand Open, cementing its championship credentials. As a public-access resort it welcomes all comers, with staying guests enjoying tee priority — making a tournament-grade alpine round available to any visitor to Queenstown.
Signature hole
Every hole is framed by the jagged Remarkables range and Coronet Peak; the manicured fairways of the Wakatipu Basin, rolling through the resort's 650 acres, make the mountain backdrop the true signature of a round here.
