New Zealand Open continues its innovative ways
The Landing – sure to be a popular spot throughout the week
Continually pursuing a point of difference for its highly popular PGA Tour of Australasia event, the New Zealand Open has further enhanced its innovative approach by improving, even further, spectator viewing at the Millbrook Resort near Arrowtown.
Introduced for this year’s event, The Landing surrounds much of tee at the par 3 18th, providing up close and personal views of play over not only the tournament’s demanding finishing hole, but over two other holes in close proximity (the 8th and 17th) and is likely to prove a very popular viewing and watering platform, not only for this year’s event, but for the years ahead.
Standing or sitting in the roomy spaces of the purpose-built facility, there is a feeling of being very much on top of the action, almost looking straight down on play at the relatively short but potentially dangerous tee shot at the 18th.
Catering is also part of the package for those prepared to pay the $350 for admission to The Landing, but considering that beverages and food are provided, along with stunning visual access to competitive golf, there are already many keen to take advantage in its very first year of operation.
