The Waimari Beach Golf Course, which has just undergone a massive tree felling process and the addition of a new water hazard, has a reputation for having the fastest and truest greens in the region, it is also very close to the beach and with a lot of the trees gone gives it a true links feel.

Waitikri Golf Course has been improving in leaps and bounds with the rebuilding of several holes and a brand new clubhouse, It is a par 70 with a great par 5 which has a water hazard and is a risk reward hole, this layout is easy walking and very tight off the tees, the second hole being one of the toughest tee shots in Christchurch.

Right next door to Waitikiri golf course is the Windsor Golf Course, it is the shorter of the 3 courses but be warned it is a tight test, with out of bounds on the first three holes and a huge lateral water hazard that comes into play on 4 holes, it is also one of the few Christchurch courses with elevated tees and greens and is a lot more hilly than other Canterbury courses.

The warm setting of this hotel is not only reflected in the stylish rooms, sumptuous restaurants and spacious public areas, but most impotantly, it is ideally situated central to Victoria Square and beside the Avon River, the Crown Plaza has the city at it's doorstep. It is physically linked to the Christchurch Convention Centre and adjacent to the Christchurch Casino, and just minutes from all leading attractions.

Apollo Motel is approximately 5 mins by car to Christchurch City Centre, Christchurch Airport, and some wonderful entertainment centres including, Riccarton and Addington Raceways, the beautiful Botanic Gardens, Christchurch Art Centre and Wildlife Reserves.  An excellent selection of quality bars and restaurants offering a variety of National and International Cuisine are within easy walking distance of Apollo Motel.
