The Russley Golf Course is one of the best Christchurch courses with water hazards loads of fairway and greenside bunkers, the condition of the course is always in top notch order.  With tree lined fairways and deep rough it is one of the best tests of golf in Christchurch and has a remarkable layout which has hosted several NZ Opens over the years.

A course that has been improving in leaps and bounds over the last ten years is the Templeton Golf Course where the greens are back to there best and with 5 great par 5's one with a water hazard as well as some short and long par 4 holes this course keeps you on your toes.  Peter the resident pro is a great bloke and will make you feel very welcome, and they have a haggle competition most days.

One of Christchurch's underrated gems is the Coringa Golf Course, it's a championship length course off the blue tees, and still a great test of golf off the forward tees, it is a traditional parkland's layout which has it's golf holes going in all different directions, it's one of those courses where after 5 holes you wouldn't know which direction the clubhouse was. It has a great balance of short and long holes and it has hosted a lot of big amateur events in the last few years.

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.
