Kaye Maxwell’s Golf Retreat is more than a nine-hole course; it is a personal vision turned into one of New Zealand’s most distinctive golf experiences. In this Mad About Golf podcast review, Steve sits down with Kaye Maxwell to hear how the retreat grew from an idea into a welcoming destination for golfers, families and curious visitors.
The conversation explores the decisions behind the layout, the character of the property and the work required to create a golf venue with genuine personality. Kaye’s story is especially compelling because it shows how thoughtful design and persistence can turn a piece of land into a place people remember. The retreat’s mix of relaxed hospitality, creative holes and scenic surroundings makes it stand apart from a conventional round, while still rewarding players who enjoy strategy and a challenge.
This is an inspiring listen for anyone interested in golf course building, small-business vision or finding new places to play in Aotearoa. Watch the full video podcast: Watch the video
