Tim Kershaw

Managing Director

A strong passion for sports, travel, the outdoors and Central Otago led Tim to Millbrook Resort in 2003 to join the golf proshop team. Following several seasons in the ski industry through 2005, Tim’s attention was drawn to Jacks Point in 2006 where he helped construct the championship course.

With growth of golf tourism in the area following the completion of The Hills and Jacks Point in 2007/08, Remarkable Golf Tours was established to provide a range of golf services to travellers visiting Queenstown.
