CHRISTCHURCH GOLF

A must play course in Christchurch is the Christchurch Golf Club, commonly called "Shirley" that means in old English, a field of flowers.

Said to be the finest course in Canterbury, Shirley has recently been made even tougher with a Peter Thomson re-design. It still retains the links style flavour that led Deane Beman to pronounce it the best Eisenhower course in recent memory at the time of the 1990 event.

The course has been the venue for numerous NZ Opens and NZ Amateurs and is acknowledged as one of NZ's top courses. The lush fairways are complemented by billiard table-like greens and a multitude of bunkers. The clubhouse reeks of tradition and its uncrowded surroundings cap off any game. Shirley is considered to be the #1 course for visitor to Christchurch seeking a high quality golf experience.
