Weedons Country Club is an irrigated par-73 country golf course on McClelland Road in Templeton, between Christchurch and Rolleston, rated 4.6 from 150 Google reviews. On site are practice putting and chipping greens, a warm-up area reserved for scoring clubs, a three-bay practice net and a clubhouse seating around a hundred, with bar and kitchen facilities available for hire. Condition separates a good country course from an ordinary one, and on the Canterbury Plains that means irrigation — dry nor'westers soon brown off unwatered fairways. Regulars give themselves ten minutes on the chipping and putting greens before teeing off, a warm-up that saves more strokes than any swing tip. Plains layouts also play longer than the card suggests when the wind gets up, so it pays to choose tees honestly. For a relaxed country round within easy reach of Christchurch, Weedons suits golfers in Templeton, Rolleston and the city's western fringe.
