​

The 2024 New Zealand Women’s Senior Championships will be hosted by the Rotorua Golf Club, also known as Arikikapakapa. The Arikikapakapa course is, by any yardstick, unique and there is a strong sense of pride amongst members, and a resolve to protect what they have and enhance the playing features as time and money allow. The geothermal uniqueness of this Rotorua golf course has earned it an international reputation, not to be missed in your golf career in NZ.

 

Arikikapakapa is a full 18 hole, par 70 course providing variety and challenge with many holes played over and around both dormant and active thermal areas. This is an all-weather links-style course with easy walking and an excellent golfing layout.
