2022 NZ Golf Mixed Foursomes @ Rotorua, Arikikapakapa
Overview
The 2022 New Zealand Amateur Mixed Foursomes Championship will venture to Rotorua, New Zealand’s cultural, geothermal and adventure capital. The event will be managed by PaR nz Golfing Holidays under the auspices of Golf New Zealand.
The tournament held over the Labour October Long Weekend will be hosted by the Rotorua (Arikikapakapa) Golf Club. An easy walking course, voted among the top 25 in the country, Rotorua has some rather unique features such as steam rising off the nearby lakes, the gentle sound of plopping mud, and thermal vents alongside the fairways.
All players will be seeded by handicap into divisions of eight, for three (3) rounds of foursome’s match play. The top division will play off the stick foursomes match play with the remainder of the field playing handicap foursomes match play.
The programme includes a welcome happy hour on the Friday, breakfast before play on Saturday and lunch with prize giving after the final round on Sunday. This is a relaxed, fun but competitive format and a great opportunity to escape and enjoy the highlights of Rotorua.
Special tournament accommodation packages are available through PaR nz Golfing Holidays staying at the 5-star Millennium Hotel Rotorua.
The field will be limited to the first 128 (64 pairs) paid entries received.
