The most inland linksstyle<br />
golf course in nz<br />
Situated on the shores of Lake Dunstan,<br />
the Cromwell Golf Course is one of the<br />
best in New Zealand, and one of the most<br />
scenic. Sculptured among sand dunes,<br />
marram grass and mature trees, the arid<br />
Central Otago landscape is transformed<br />
by state of the art irrigation into firm<br />
undulating fairways, and the sand-based<br />
greens provide great putting surfaces.<br />
Greg Turner, former European Tour<br />
Golf Professional and course designer<br />
says “The Cromwell Golf Course sits<br />
comfortably on land similar to that of<br />
the Melbourne sand-belt with expansive<br />
rolling dunes. With 5 different teeing<br />
options the course varies in length from<br />
4500m to 6500m, so it is playable and<br />
a great test from the beginner through<br />
to Professionals”.<br />
The Cromwell Golf Club hosts the<br />
Central Gold Motel<br />
Asure Central Gold Motel is ideally<br />
located in Cromwell and just 100metres<br />
to shops, restaurants, golf and the<br />
town’s sports complex and swimming<br />
pool. Modern, spacious studio and<br />
one bedroom units are well appointed<br />
for guests’ comfort and enjoyment<br />
