Millbrook Resort

The Arrow and Coronet courses at Millbrook Resort were designed by New Zealand golfing legends Sir Bob Charles and Greg Turner, opening in phases beginning in the early 1990s. Charles, the 1963 Open Championship winner and the most successful left-handed golfer in major championship history, brought his strategic sensibilities to this Central Otago property. Turner, a multiple European Tour winner, collaborated on the design work that eventually expanded Millbrook into a 27-hole facility. The courses wind through the dramatic landscape near Arrowtown, with the Remarkables and Crown Range mountains providing a striking alpine backdrop. The terrain features significant elevation changes and natural schist rock outcroppings characteristic of the region. Fairways move through stands of mature trees and open meadowland, with water hazards including ponds and streams coming into play on several holes. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours, offering golfers varied perspectives of the surrounding peaks and the Wakatipu Basin. The design emphasizes strategic shot-making over pure length, with well-placed bunkers and thoughtful green complexes rewarding accuracy. Millbrook Resort sits in one of New Zealand's premier wine and tourism regions, minutes from the historic gold-rush town of Arrowtown and a short drive from Queenstown. The facility caters to resort guests and visiting golfers, with the courses serving as the centerpiece of a broader hospitality property that includes accommodation, dining, and conference facilities. The setting combines high-country pastoral character with mountain resort amenities.
