Course Details:
The unique feature of the Carrington golf course is that, although it has an ocean-side 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" ocean-side golf course, which is sighted on a flat plateau with man-made obstacles produced from artificial contouring of the land. Instead, Carrington 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.

Carrington golf course is sited so as to provide a variety of vistas to the golfer.  The course is located between sweeping ocean views to the north and east and hill side vineyards of Karikari Estate to the south.  The Black Angus herd of Carrington Farms grazes on gently rolling pasture lands to the east and west of the golf course and to the north are wetlands, planted with native trees and flora and containing a large lake which is home to many native birds.

All tees and greens are constructed to U.S.G.A. tournament quality standards and there are multiple tee placements for each hole ensuring challenging golf for every skill level.
 

Clubhouse & Course Amenities:
The clubhouse includes all the usual amenities, such as mens' and womens' changing rooms, lockers and storage areas for clubs.  The Pro Shop of course caters to the golfer with practice greens and tuition facilities and is fully stocked with everything a golfer dreams of.

Carrington offers accommodation onsite in both luxurious lodge rooms and villas.
