The private course built by jeweller Michael Hill will host the Open for the next three years in a deal that will be music to the ears of the sport's stakeholders.
After losing almost $1.2 million in two years, and four days after revealing a $695,472 loss on the 2006 edition of the Open, New Zealand Golf has handed over the financial risk or reward of the event to Australian promoter Tuohy Associates NZ. European and Australasian co-sanctioning will be retained, but already the balance sheet looks brighter for what will be New Zealand's 100th national open.
Hill has generously waved the six-figure venue fee that had been attached to Gulf Harbour and Bob Tuohy has already predicted this year's event will break even.
But while there can be no doubt the first South Island Open since 1985 has the potential to restore the tournament's tarnished image, and NZG's balance sheet, there will be some uncertainty about the venue.
Hill is the sole member of his private Arrowtown course and aside from his close friends and a small group of New Zealand's top players, few have played the course.
Recently completed after five years in the making, it will have no track record come November, but Turner, a former European PGA professional, said any concerns were unfounded.
"I went and had a hit with Michael (Hill) a few weeks ago and I can tell you it's a true championship course. It's going to be a real test," he said yesterday. "It's difficult, there's lots of water, lots of tussock and undulating greens."
Turner said it would provide the players with a unique challenge and believed it would draw good crowds despite being outside Auckland for the first time since 2002.
"I can't think of anything like it in New Zealand. It's unusual. It's a lot of rock out crops and tussock grass. I think it will be a really good venue. I think a lot of people will come. The Queenstown area is rising right now, but also I think people will come from Invercargill and Dunedin and possibly from Christchurch as well."
Hill said there had been enough feedback to allay any fears the course would not meet PGA standards.
"All the top New Zealand players have had a crack. Phil Tataurangi was first and he gave a lot of advice, then Greg Turner in the early stages too."
Their main advice had been to lengthen the course to combat technology, but they had been more than happy with the layout, he said.
"One hole is over 600 yards all up hill into the wind, so it will be quite a challenge."
Hill said it was a "thinking man's course" with many holes providing players with two options.
"You can go over the bunker, which is harder, but you get a kick down the hill. Several holes are split in two where you can go for the green over waterways or vile swamps, or go around the fairway, which is longer, but more conservative."
He had no plans to host any other tournaments on the course and believed the "curiosity value" created by keeping it closed to the public would enhance the appeal of the Open.
The 2007 tournament will be held from 29 November to 2 December, following the co-sanctioned MasterCard Masters in Melbourne with Kiwi No1 Michael Campbell the official tournament ambassador.
It will be up to Campbell, Tuohy and Hill to leverage Queenstown's tourist appeal to both players and the pubic alike. If successful, New Zealand's premier golf tournament could again become a jewel in the country's sporting crown.

Me, Phil Edye, and Robert Mitchell, proudly stand before one of the few Holdens loaned by the local Hornsby Holden Dealership, for our two week Driver Education Course.
We were going to be tracked by Dr. Ian Henderson?? of the UNSW driver safety unit for years. I'm still alive, with an accident free record, apart from one little dingle from a spin-out on the Jenolan dirt road on a later caving trip in Mum's Standard.
www.flickr.com/photos/spelio/4654064075/ and a clean police record!!
We were taught there are no such things as "accidents"..
Always be in the right gear at the right place at the right speed at the right time! RMLAID
See also "Car Driving as an Art" by SCH Davis of the Autocar. and
"Roadcraft" The Police Drivers' Manual" by HM stationary Office
both presented to me by Eric T. Izard for "Highest marks for Driver Education Theory"
I must not have been as good at the practical, they didn't teach fast driving on winding mountain dirt roads to Jenolan Caves!!
Then I got a Beetle and learnt all about oversteer on gravel roads, on many caving trips around NSW and WA.
An article I cut out from the Canberra Times of 6-3-85
Driving Tip of the Week
A defensive driver is one who drives in a manner to prevent accidents, regardless of other drivers' faulty driving or non-compliance with traffic laws; one who is careful not to commit any driving errors himself and makes makes allowances for the lack of skill or judgement, or for an improper attitude on the part of another driver, one that does not allow hazards of weather, road conditions, absence of signs or signals to involve him in a collision or dangerous situation.
A defensive driver is prepared for the unexpected at intersections, from parked cars, where reversing, sudden stops by others or darting pedestrians. He is not caught in that last-second futile attempt to avoid an accident. He has a plan for his own and others' safety. This plan involves the ever-changing situations faced on the road.
He learns to overcome personal inadequacies and those of the vehicle. He studies the environment for hazards that cannot be eliminated, but which must be compensated for.
A defensive driver can arrive at a destination having experienced the minimum number of incidents.
Paul Glover, Motoring Writer in the Canberra Times
also wrote an article titled....
"No such thing as an accident"
Is there such a thing as a road accident?
Not a crash, or a collision, or an impact, or a head-on, but a genuine accident. An incident, perhaps fatal, which qualifies as a pure accident.
The sort of event where no-one is really to blame, and where fate or luck or whatever is the only explanation for a crazy out-of-kilter happening....
He goes on to explain why the road safety experts don't think so....
I wish the the press and NRMA would stop calling them accidents...

Of course the very first dragonfly I see this year I'm able get a shot of would land on the walkway right in front of me instead of the gazillion plants and flowers growing all around.
But not to be deterred, I got down on one knee and got as close as possible before he decided the camera was just a tad too close and took off.

Pour plus de talon c'est par là :
Sinon je vous invite a regarder le reste de l'album (à droite) de cette course déjà mythique.
Golf courses are treated with fertilizers to in order to maintain adequate grass cover. Excessive fertilizer application coupled with heavy irrigation often results in runoff and subsequent delivery of enriching compounds into nearby streams and coastal waters.

Our Maker Art students at the Lycée Français in Sausalito are building a City of the Future together, using arts and electronics to make a model of what our world may be like in 100 years.
In our seventh class, we developed the public spaces for their city: underwater cove with sea creatures, sandy beach with a statue of King Nano, and more skyscrapers near the space elevator. We worked in teams to build and paint each space and its characters.
Their floating city is a cosmopolitan vacation resort for rich old snobs, mutant sharks, human clones, robot maids and alien visitors.
Through this course, students are developing a range of skills, from creative expression to science and engineering (STEAM). And they are creating their own interactive art with simple electronics, in a playful way that makes learning more fun.
