Clearwater Resort in Christchurch is the home of the HSBC New Zealand PGA Championship and the only USPGA Nationwide Tour stop in New Zealand.
The Clearwater golf course is built around a series of man-made lakes, 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.
It's not possible to identify a 'signature' hole as such because Clearwater is blessed with a number of great golf holes. But two come to mind. The par-3 11th demands a clean strike to carry the ball over a small lake to a green with a big sand trap in front. The par-4 18th, gives Clearwater one of the best finishing holes in New Zealand, it plays from an elevated tee to a green that juts out into a lake bringing water into play short, left, and at the back.
