🏌️♂️ Golf & Fishing in Queenstown: The Ultimate Combo Day 🎣
Queenstown – Where Golf Meets Great Fishing
Few places in the world let you play a championship golf course in the morning and catch wild trout on a crystal-clear alpine lake in the afternoon. Queenstown is one of them.
With world-class courses like Jack’s Point, Millbrook Resort, and Queenstown Golf Club sitting right beside some of New Zealand’s best fishing waters, it’s the perfect place to combine two great passions — golf and fishing — in one unforgettable day.
Morning: Tee Off with a View ⛳️
Start your day on one of Queenstown’s iconic golf courses:
-
Jack’s Point – Carved between the Remarkables mountains and Lake Wakatipu.
-
Millbrook Resort – A stunning 36-hole championship layout near Arrowtown.
-
Queenstown Golf Club (Kelvin Heights) – Surrounded by water, it’s often called the world’s most scenic golf course.
After your round, grab a quick lunch or cold drink before heading just five minutes from the airport to Frankton Marina, where your skipper from Queenstown Fishing will be waiting to take you out.
Afternoon: From Fairways to Fish 🎣
Once you’re on board, it’s time to swap clubs for rods. Whether you’re chasing rainbow trout, brown trout, or landlocked salmon, Lake Wakatipu delivers some serious fun — and often a few surprises!
Our 3-Hour Private Charter is the most popular option for golfers — perfect timing after a morning round and ideal for small groups or couples. You’ll explore hidden bays and drop-offs while learning a few local techniques along the way.
