        Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club is New Zealand’s highest rated golf course—currently rated number 65th best course outside of the USA by Golf Magazine. And, because of a caddie named Steve Williams, Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club is now New Zealand’s best known course throughout the world. Steve Williams is Tiger Woods’s caddie, and Steve came to Tiger from Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club via Greg Norman, Ian Baker-Finch, and Ray Floyd. At Steve’s urging Tiger played at Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club in January, 2002, in the New Zealand Open. And Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club was solidly placed on the world’s map of great courses.
