Set within nearly 200 hectares of the Clearwater Resort and just minutes from Christchurch International Airport, New Zealand's premier championship golf course has something for everyone. The par 72 championship course has established itself as an international professional golf tournament venue and is the current home of the ISPS Handa NZ Women's Open.
Designed by John Darby in consultation with New Zealand golfing legend, Sir Bob Charles, the course combines elements of links golf inspired by the great Scottish courses with parkland golf, more reminiscent of Florida.
Playable year-round, the course meanders around a succession of spring-fed lakes and trout-filled streams, with uninterrupted views of the spectacular Southern Alps. A visit to Clearwater Golf Club also includes the opportunity to sample local produce, award winning wines and warm Canterbury service in the comfort of the Members Lounge before or after your round.
There are five tee positions to suit players of all abilities. Visiting golfers are welcome everyday - advanced booking is strongly recommended.
