On State Highway 2 in New Zealand about 30 minutes north of Masterton (which is 1 hour north of Wellington) is a scenic country course in Eketahuna which is excellent value at only NZ$20 per round.
The course is a par 71, with a total distance of 5,283 metres.
The 14th fairway is stunning and with 225 metres from tee to green, the straight shooter can drive the green. I don't recommend this for the average golfer - I shot 11 & lost 3 balls. A 5 iron off the tee would've been smarter!
I did manage a net 71 round though, shooting 47 on the front 9 & 46 on the back 9.
There are flocks of sheep on the course who manage the rough & fertilise the fairways!
