DESCRIPTION

Paraparaumu Beach Links is a links course built on the site of an earlier nine hole course which was established in 1929 with a second nine added in 1937. The modern course was conceived in the 1940s. Former Australian Open Champion, Alex Russell completed the course design by 1949 which remains essentially unchanged to this day. The course is rated as the best course in the country and, because of its qualities as a traditional links, ranks 99th in the world.

Links golf is unlike that played on inland courses. The well drained undulating fairways, fierce rough, fast greens and intimidating bunkers combine with the naturally windy coastal weather to create a truly challenging golfing experience.
