The par-72 Kauri Cliffs course, designed by David Harman along dramatic coastline, plays close enough to the cliff edge on several holes that the ocean feels like part of the course itself.ATV tours and horseback rides push through 6,000 acres of pine forest and farmland behind the course, often ending at a private beach reachable no other way, while fishing for snapper along secluded shoreline rounds out the water-based options.

ATV tours push through 6,000 acres of pine forest and farmland that most guests never knew existed behind the golf course, and horseback rides cover much of the same ground at a gentler pace, often ending at a private beach reachable no other way. Fishing for snapper along secluded shoreline rounds out the water based options, and private ocean view yoga sessions offer a quieter start to the day before any of it begins.
