Today we travel to Millbrook Resort near Arrowtown to play. This beautifully presented Resort is a complete package. Cafe, restaraunts, beauty spa, accommodation and the golf course are set among beautiful gardens and stunning avenues of trees. Originally a farm there are many old pieces of farm machinery and original buildings including an old mill with a water wheel to add character.
There are 27 holes - Arrow 9, Coronet 9 and Remarkables 9. Work will commense shortly on another 9 to cater for the demand. The NZ Open will shortly be played on these immaculate fairways and greens.
Our group, joined by Barb's cousin and her husband teed off in brilliant sunshine but unfortunately the rain came in very heavily forcing abandonement of play after 14 holes. Nevertheless everyone enjoyed their game and came in impressed with the course.
From the cafe we watched the rain - most welcomed by the locals - whilst some visited the proshop to top up wet weather gear. Despite the rain we had a good day. Tonight we are going to The Captain to enjoy a last seafood meal before heading to Dunedin.
