​Located an hour away from the capital city of Wellington, this host of the New Zealand Open Championship continues to produce world class gold for amateurs and professionals alike. Paraparaumu Beach is a traditional links style course which has a layout that will challenge the very best golfer, whilst allowing newcomers to the game plenty of scope for enjoyment. The greens are firm and true, the fairways provide welcome respite from the natural dunes, and every shot demands concentration and careful execution. This remains a staple in NZ golf and is a must visit.
