Food Scene
A visit to the Hole in One Bar at Millbrook is a must. Good coffee, great cakes, and gorgeous place to sit outdoors in the sun, or a cozy place inside near the fire with views over the golf course.

You absolutely cannot visit Arrowtown without having a venison pie from the Arrowtown Bakery. Sit in the park over the road, or take it home and cook up some nice wholesome vegetables for an all-round good meal.

Parks & Nature
Make sure you visit the Chinese village in Arrowtown. It's just incredible what the hardy Chinese endured to get some precious gold from the Arrow River. While you're there take a stroll, or a jog if you are up to it, around the Anniversary Track which is a circular route down and around the beautiful and peaceful Arrow River.

Grab a pamphlet from The Museum in Arrowtown on the walks around Arrowtown. The walk around Lakes Hayes is gorgeous. Pick a clear sunny day and clear your mind with an envigorating walk.

This is our home club and of course we love it. Like Andrew Daddo said on the Golf Show "it's like playing golf in a painting" - the scenery is to die for and the course is one of a kind. Only bunker is on the practice fairway but be wary, there are plenty of hazards on this course.

Essentials
Remember we try to be plastic free so make sure you take your own bag or ask the shop for one of their 'boomerang' bags. They will lend you a material bag that has been made by a local and your 'boomerang' bring it back to the shop. Secret: the pies they sell are AMAZING!
