Rosewood Cape Kidnappers, home to one celebrated Tom Doak creation and another that might have been, will host a special weekend event in 2025, where the American course architect himself will lead interactive course tours, play, dine and generally hobnob alongside fellow design aficionados high above sub-tropical waters of Hawke’s Bay.
Across this special weekend, Doak will lead course tours and discussion of the perennial world top 100 course he designed up above, at cliffside. “There is nothing quite like it in golf; it just sits so high above the water,” Doak explains. “This is a course fairly ranked among the top 50 in the world, but I’ve found people have difficulty classifying Cape Kidnappers in their own minds — because it’s so different and distinct from anything else.”
Register your interest for this highly exclusive event, coming in October 2025.
TBA October, 2025
