Carrington Club G.C., New Zealand

The championship standard 18 hole Carrington golf course was designed by American golf course designer Matt Dye, the unique feature of the Carrington Club golf course is that, although it has an ocean-side location, it looks and plays like an “inland golf” course, complete with rolling hills, vales, and natural water hazards. The resultant effect is the challenging play of a rolling inland golf course but with the beautiful ocean views of its seaside location.

With 6146 metre’s (7267 yards) in length, par 72, the layout encompasses a variety of terrains from rolling vales to challenging water hole’s. The course is designed to accommodate golfers of all abilities and offers a great variety of hole play, from one of the longest par 5’s in New Zealand 605 meters (667 yards), to one of the shortest par 3’s at 113 meters (132 yards) over water.
