Links Course New Zealand

Opened in 1949, Paraparaumu is a genuine links course that draws its strength from firm ground, natural movement and an uncluttered design by Alex Russell. Set on the Kāpiti Coast at Paraparaumu Beach, it asks for control rather than force, with running approaches and thoughtful placement rewarded throughout the round. 

The course has long held a central place in New Zealand championship golf, having staged both the NZ Open and the NZ PGA, and that pedigree is felt in the quality of the test rather than in any excess. Fairways move naturally across the property, the turf stays fast when conditions are right, and the challenge comes from angles, restraint and imagination. It is a course that remains true to links principles while standing firmly in its own setting, offering a round shaped by ground game golf and a distinctly New Zealand championship identity for travelling golfers.
