Golf Access
JPROA Golf Access Information
Welcome to the 2022/2023 golf season at Jack’s Point Golf
Its great to be out of Covid traffic light system and moving forward to re-ignite Jack’s Point Golf and restaurant/café for the season ahead. We are pleased and thankful to have received the support of New Zealanders over this past very turbulent 2 1⁄2 yrs. It is wonderful to see the early response by International travelers especially from Australia returning to Queenstown this summer.
The Golf Course has come through the winter maintenance period in great shape after a very wet winter and now cold spring. The ground temperatures are taking a while to warm up, the anticipated spring growth is slowly kicking into gear. This is required to return the greens and tees back to their normal colour and smoothness. Our greens team this season have applied applications to help eradicate the spread of Poa from further infiltrating our fabulous bend grass greens and tee’s.
We currently rebuilding staff numbers as quickly as we can to help deliver the best experience we can, however under current immigration rules this has been challenging.
The Golf Shop Team of Alex Page, Luke Leesburg (PGA), Dave Harper and Vinnie Wyatt, are enjoying being back in the Clubhouse, the ease to which we can greet our valued customers at the start and conclusion play is a real positive.
We are looking forward to assisting all residents and your guests. A special welcome back to international residents and visitors to the golf course this summer. We will continue to promote a variety of packages to attract visitors and locals to Jack’s Point this coming season.
We are all looking forward to a fun season of golf and friendly banter in 22/23.
