Terrace Downs offers a par 72, 18-hole championship golf course, and is rated as one of the top courses and golfing destinations in New Zealand. Based at the foothills of the Southern Alps, there are very few scenic alpine courses like it. The course was designed by Sid Pudicombe and Associates in 1993 and officially opened in December 2001. It offers a unique mixture of Parklands and Links style with the underlying philosophy of the course development assuring its integration into the natural environment and the respect and enjoyment of all who play on it. The views of the Rakaia Gorge and mountain vistas remain a constant challenge for players to keep their eye on the ball! The 6,440-metre long course incorporates 11 lakes and 70 bunkers, providing plenty of obstacles for even the most experienced player.

The Methven Golf Club is known as one of the finest country courses in New Zealand, with its stunning views of Mt Hutt Ski Area and the Southern Alps. This well established 18 hole golf course (founded 1924) is planted with a beautiful selection of evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs making it a challenge for all golfing abilities. If you’re not sure what the weather is like in Methven, make sure you check out the club’s webcam which looks down the number one fairway up to Mt Hutt giving a good picture of what is happening on the golf course and what the weather is doing. It takes a new picture every couple of minutes.
