Course Description

Clearwater is home to the New Zealand PGA Championship, part of the European Tour. There are elements of links and parkland golf with an abundance of water. Built around a series of man-made lakes, fed by natural springs and crystal clear streams, bringing water into play on 14 holes. The overall look of the course includes lakes, tussock and marram grass that, with neatly manicured bent grass fairways and greens, leave it looking uniquely like a cross between an Old World links and an American parkland course.
