Throughout my professional career, which has spanned more than 15 years, I had the wonderful privilege to play some of the best conditioned and exclusive golf courses in the world, including Augusta National, Pebble Beach, Royal Troon and the like. My sentiment has always been and remains to this day, that among the courses i have played the Rangitikei Golf Club is my most favorite. I have often said that if I was told I had one choice of golf course to play throughout the world and to play that course for the rest of my life, I would choose Rangitikei. The natural terrain of Rangitikei Golf Club Course appeals to me because the course does not feel artificial or manufactured. It conjures up thoughts of a links style course, like those formed in Scotland by the weather and elements. Rugged in its natural beaut, links style course in both magnificent to behold and also a challenge to play. When I do get a chance to come home and play golf in New Zealand, my priority is to play Rangitikei Golf Course as soon as possible.
