Millbrook Named World's Best Golf ResortQueenstown's five-star Millbrook Resort has been named the world's best golf resort by Australia's Luxury Travel magazine. Millbrook has taken out top place in the magazine's 2011 Gold List Award for overseas golf resorts, ahead of strong New Zealand and international contenders. Last year Millbrook came fourth in the awards, which are decided upon by a survey that goes to tens of thousands of discerning, travel-loving readers and clients of Virtuoso, the world's most exclusive travel agents, to vote on their favourite destinations each year. This year Millbrook heads a golf resort list that includes The Farm at Cape Kidnappers (2nd) Kauri Cliffs in Matauri Bay (3rd), Mission Hills Resort in Shenzhen, China (4th) and Sun City Resort in South Africa (5th). Millbrook was also lauded as one of the best New Zealand properties within three hours of the city, taking out fifth place overall behind exclusive lodges such as Huka Lodge and Blanket Bay. In the past three years, the resort has made a significant $30 million investment in an innovative covered driving range converted from a former woolshed, a new nine-hole golf course known as the Coronet Nine, extensive upgrades to the existing 18-hole championship golf course, and housing development in the western extension of Millbrook. Hugely popular with local, New Zealand and international golfers, Millbrook's three interchangeable ‘nines' create a varied diet of golf and a combination that only a small handful of courses in the country offer.
