Situated just 1 hour from Christchurch in the heart of the Canterbury high country, Terrace Downs Golf Resort is one of New Zealand’s most unique golfing landscapes. Designed by Sid Puddicombe, the 18-hole par 72 course has a varied hole design making the golfers strategic choices all the more important. The Parkland style front 9 course is sheltered with a ‘Woodland’ feel whilst the links style back 9 course is described as having a ‘Scottish’ feel with its open setting.
The high country setting means that the changeable weather patterns can add to the drama of a round. The high country views of our neighbouring mountain ranges and river canyons mean a camera is an essential piece of equipment in your golf bag.
We are pleased to offer exclusive on-site golf coaching lessons, tailored to all skill levels. Our coaching is led by Neil, our Director of Golf, who brings over 25 years of experience in the golf industry. Neil’s extensive expertise and passion for the game ensure that each session is both enjoyable and highly beneficial, whether you are a beginner looking to learn the basics or an advanced player aiming to refine your skills.
