A mate of mine from the states bought a house/condo there. He raves about the place. He's planning on retiring there eventually. Not sure what the deal is with his place, but I think it's rented out through the resort for golfing holidays such as yours. Want me to see if I can get you a deal?

Mt Hutt ski fields are quite close too. Good fishing in the area and plenty of mtn biking and tramping to be had. Should be a fun trip.

thanks for the offer Dion, you're too kind :smt023

turns out one of the guys thats going (the guy thats organising everything) has a bro-in-law that has a mansion of some sort right near the course. He'll be away O/S on business, so he's agreed to let us use his place for 4 days ...... pretty big place too apparently 8)

Yep - though we played on a day when it was 15C, raining and blowing a gale! So we didn't enjoy the course that much - but mightily enjoyed the clubhouse!

The course has spectacular views and very well maintained. I don't remember too much besides the fact I was frozen to the bone (and it was January :? )

Leave yourself plenty of time to get there - we found that there were virtually no signs directing the way and it took us 1 hr from Christchurch.

What other courses are you playing? If you are heading to Dunedin, I recommend Chisholm Links - it was the course we most enjoyed playing at it was only $15 after 2pm on a Saturday!

thanks for the info Amanda ... i can't wait to get there 8)




What other courses are you playing?

as far as i know, we'll be staying at this course, and i think the plan is to play a 4 day comp there. Not sure if we'll be going anywhere else ... other than in the car sightseeing i suppose :?

That could get expensive since it's $110 a day!

You'll find that even the cheap local council tracks are really nice - heaps of rain & sunshine, none of them look bare!

If you are inland from Christchurch around the Methven area, check out the Rakaia River - great fishing and jetboating.

The whole area is bloody unbelieveable. If you've got the time to get to Mt Cook village (3-4 hours drive) - DO IT! You go past Lake Tekapo where there's the most awesome church (never thought i'd ever say that?!) - The Church of the Good Shepherd. It's a small room on the edge of a brilliant blue lake and snow capped mountains. Has to be seen to be believed.

HI there

jarro, did you end up playing this course?

Wonderful track. Amanda's spot on about the views from the clubhouse. It's a bit pricey but worth it I think.

The tenth is a great par 3. The views down the gorge are great.

Reg.
