Take a Break at Russley Golf Club

If you’re part of the Antarctic Programme and spending time in Christchurch, Russley Golf Club is an easy place to swap the ice for the fairways.

Just minutes from Christchurch Airport, Russley offers a par 72 championship course, beautiful parkland surrounds and five tee options to suit different abilities. Visitors are welcome, with club hire, carts, practice facilities, a driving range, café and bar all available.

It’s also a great chance to meet some locals, enjoy a relaxed round and get some fresh-air exercise before heading back south. And after months of Antarctic weather, even a Christchurch bunker probably feels pretty welcoming!

Come and have a hit at Russley — your clubs might appreciate the change of scenery.
