Christchurch

Garden City

Northland

​Combine historic architecture and perfectly manicured parks with all the buzz of a contemporary metropolis and you have Christchurch. From here you also have the option of visiting Kaikoura, New Zealand’s whale-watching mecca.

Following the 2010-2011 earthquakes, Christchurch has re-emerged as a vibrant, ever-changing city. Projects such as the cool and funky Re:start container mall in Cashel Street showcase the amazing energy of the city. With its glistening spring-fed lakes, Clearwater Golf Course lives up to its name, providing a lush oasis close to the city and Christchurch International Airport that offers a golfing escape and a change of pace that few destinations can match. Walk in the footsteps of Clearwater graduates such as Jason Dufner, Bubba Watson and most recently Lydia Ko.

Terrace Downs

Set against the magnificent backdrop of the Southern Alps, Terrace Downs delivers one of New Zealand’s most spectacular high-country golfing experiences. The 18-hole, par-72 championship course sits in the foothills of the mountains, where expansive alpine scenery and river-canyon views create a dramatic setting for every round.

Designed by Sid Puddicombe, the course offers plenty of variety, with a more sheltered, parkland-style front nine giving way to an open, links-style back nine. The layout provides an enjoyable challenge for golfers of differing abilities, while the changeable high-country conditions add another dimension to the experience.

Clearwater

Walk in the footsteps of Clearwater graduates such as Jason Dufner, Bubba Watson and New Zealand's own World Number 1 Lydia Ko on our manicured fairways and greens surrounded by natural spring-fed lakes.

The course features both the standard Par 72 championship layout (5 tees) and an Executive Par 60 “30|30″ challenge designed by Sir Bob Charles.
