Hit the world's best links at Kauri Cliffs

Golfing enthusiasts can look on virtually any list of the top golf courses and find the magnificent Kauri Cliffs of New Zealand high among the rankings. Rated as one of the best places to play by publications including Travel + Leisure, Conde Nast Traveller and Fodor's, the lodge and surrounding links is breathtaking and certainly worth a visit when you take a medical job in New Zealand. Whether you bring your own clubs or have to borrow some from the facility, you'll be glad that you took this special trip to one of the most luxurious golf destinations in the world.

Situated on the northern section of New Zealand's North Island, the course's remote location is part of the fun in venturing to this stunning spot. The 18-hole landscape was designed by American architect David Harman, spanning across 800 acres (323 hectares) of fern forest, rocky clifftops and marshland. On one hole alone, you can see rolling hills, ocean, mountains and sand straight in front of you, making it an absolute must to bring your camera along for the sporting adventure.

Once you've wrapped up a session at this beautiful spot, be sure to drive out to its sister property, Cape Kidnappers.
