Background
The par 72 championship layout is already turning heads in the golfing world. Designed by John Darby in consultation with New Zealand golfing legend, Sir Bob Charles, the course combines elements of links golf inspired by the great Scottish courses with parkland golf, more reminiscent of Florida.
Hole-by-hole
by Craig Mitchell, Director of Golf, Clearwater Golf Club
Wind and water are the two overriding influences at Clearwater. One is constant, the other is such a variable that on a hole such as the 13th a player could be hitting a driver - 2 iron one day and a 3 wood - 8 iron the next.
A southerly is the most benign of the three winds that affect the course. A southerly's true bite is not really evidenced until the 18th, turning this finishing hole into a real test of nerve and composure.
Only a PGA Professional is qualified to teach the golf swing. Teaching is
fundamental to the New Zealand PGA's mission. Today, PGA Professionals
teach everybody how to play golf, including you.
