Clearwater Golf Course is located approximately 10 minutes from Christchurch airport. It hosted international professional tournaments for 13 consecutive years including the 2015 NZ Ladies Open at which Lydia Ko shot a career-best 61 (she also won the event). Combining the best elements of traditional UK links courses and parkland golf, Clearwater is playable year-round and winds its way around spring-fed lakes and trout-filled streams, all the time offering panoramic views of the spectacular Southern Alps.
