The unique feature of the Carrington Club golf course is that, although it has an ocean
side link type location, it looks and plays like an "inland golf" course, complete with rolling hills, vales, and natural water hazards.
It is not a typical "tabletop" oceanside golf course, which is sighted on a flat plateau with man-made obstacles, produced from artificial contouring of the land. Instead, Carrington Club stresses the natural contours of its location on the gently sloping lower levels of a hill side site adjacent to the Pacific Ocean.
The resultant effect is the challenging play of a rolling inland golf course but with the beautiful ocean vistas of its seaside location.The course is 6146 metre's (7267 yards) par 72, and encompasses a variety of terrains from rolling vales to challenging water hole's.
It is designed to accommodate golfers of all abilities and offers a great variety of hole play. From one of the longest par 5's in New Zealand; 605 metre's (667 yards), to one of the shortest par 3's at 113 metre's (132 yards) over water.
The tournament quality 18 hole Carrington Club golf course was inaugurated on December 15, 2003. All tees and greens are constructed to U.S.G.A. tournament quality standards with multiple tee placements for each hole. The course was designed by Matt Dye, a third generation member of the internationally acclaimed Dye family of golf course designers.
