1,200+ reviews and counting turns out flinging golf balls at a floating green is a properly good time. Straight off Google, unedited.
Absolutely insane. A hole-in-one on the lake, and whoever manages it gets a tidy sum. Great idea with a view. However, nobody could tell me what you get if you hit the diver (by the way, he retrieves up to 3000 golf balls from the lake)....
Great fun and a hard challenge! You do get a free ball every time you hit the green- which thankfully I found my game at the right time for a few extra shots. Worth it!
Really good fun. Been twice and the recent upgrade is great. Coffee and food are all good, staff are nice and friendly, can't complain!
One of the highlights of my trip, such a unique experience you have to try if you’re able. Went back twice, staff was awesome too.
Chance to win 10,000 and just to knock some balls into the lake was awesome the crew were very friendly and helpful. Fun for all ages and skill level, even if you don’t golf you can shoot the golf ball gun.
Joel and Steve was the best people ever. Me and my parents enjoyed a lot and we had fun. Highly highly recommended. Thank you so much both of you!!
While we were going through lake taupo we showed this hole in one challenge near the lake? We are so excited to play this and take the challenge 😉 . It's good fun near the lake to attract tourists and locals.
On the Taupō lakefront.
Right beside the tee, four minutes' walk from the town centre. No booking, no clubs just wander in.
