I am an avid golfer and have traveled extensively to see and learn from the various design features found on golf courses around the world. This blog is for commentary about noteworthy golf features and memorable experiences that keep us coming back for more of the sport we love to play.

Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club - Kapiti Coast, New Zealand
After experiencing my first 4.1 earthquake at 7:30 in the morning (apparently NZ has over 500 per year), we were off to Paraparaumu Beach, our final stop on the golf course architecture tour in New Zealand.
Green surrounds with tightly cropped turf created challenging and interesting approach shots. A near miss could easily mean a lost stroke.
Paraparaumu golf course is indeed challenging, based on your pictures, Kari. I'll add this course to the list of places where I want to play golf. I'm planning on traveling the world just to drive balls.
We're presently enjoy playing at these golf courses in Memphis, TN. They have great courses and amenities. Visit them if ever you're in Memphis.
If you are checking out this blog, you are probably one of my golfing friends, colleagues, or family members. I hope you will add your comments about your day on the course, great (or not so great) shots you had, what design elements you liked, what didn't work so well, or just a fun memory from the day. I will try to have course photos up each evening after playing. Thank you for joining me!
Looks like fun! Nate H.
