Pegasus Golf Resort

Pegasus Golf Club, is located 30 minutes by car, north of the city of Christchurch.

‍

First opened in December 2009, the Pegasus Golf and Sports Club hosted the New Zealand Women's Open in 2010, 2011 and 2012.  The course quickly established itself as a very good course to play to test your game. The championship layout was designed for both competitive play and for members’ enjoyment.  Its reputation is built not only on the quality golf but also on a beautifully presented course that blends seamlessly into its Canterbury setting.

The Par 72 layout stretches to over 6,300metres from the back tees, offering plenty of challenge for serious players.  The front nine is quite open and plays very links-like.  The back nine loops you around the property with water coming into play on seven of the nine holes.  The last four holes will have you thinking, as you try to protect your score coming home.  Overall, the wide fairways provide a sense of generosity from the tee, but strategically placed bunkers, subtle elevation changes, and cleverly contoured greens demand precision and thoughtful course management.  Water hazards come into play on several holes, adding both beauty and risk-reward decision-making.  The Par 3’s can be challenging, with carries over water and strong visual framing that test accuracy under pressure.

Conditioning at Pegasus is consistently very good.  The greens are true and fast, rewarding confident putting, while the fairways are well maintained year-round. Yes, it can get breezy at Pegasus, but the layout encourages a variety of shot-making, ensuring that no two rounds feel quite the same.  Whether you are chasing a low score or simply enjoying the walk, there is plenty to appreciate about the design and how the course flows.
