The session

Grab a club, line up the floating green, and let it fly. Land it and you'll walk away with a prize in hand.

This is the original Lake Taupō challenge: the one everyone comes for. You’ll get a bucket of balls, a club to suit, and a clear shot across the water to the floating green. Aim for the red, blue or white flags, each with its own prize pool, and see if you can land one while the deck watches.

No golf experience needed. Our crew will sort the gear, talk you through the flags, give you a few quick tips, and get you settled at the tee. Come for the swing, stay for the near misses, and maybe walk away with a prize in hand.
In the round

What you get.

Clubs & balls

How a round plays out.

From check-in to your last ball, you'll be spending at least about half an hour on the deck.

01

Check in with the staff

Show your booking, grab your club and balls, and the crew runs you through what you need to know.

02

Take your shots

Line up the floating green and let fly. Plenty of balls, so swing freely and have a laugh.

03

Land it & win

Sink the hole in one and claim your prize! Chill out with a drink and watch others take on the challenge.

Land the red flag

Win $10,000.

Every ball is your shot at the big one. The red flag sits at just 104m away, shorter than a regular golf course, so the odds are ever in you favour.

Questions

Before you book.

The crew confirms it from the tee, and you get to choose from the prize pool for that flag. Ace the red flag and that’s the NZ$10,000, just like that!

Absolutely. It’s an all-ages! We’ve even got lighter clubs to suit kids. It’s a favourite with families, we just ask kids under 10 are supervised by an adult.
