The Tara Iti golf links and its clubhouse are rooted in the existing land; both have a common philosophy of working with what the land gives us.
The dunescape presented an opportunity for the strands of golf, landscape and architecture to be organically interwoven.
The clubhouse applies a minimal touch in gently reshaping the land form so that golf links and buildings seem to have always belonged here, at the heart of the Tara iti. It is a modest, warm building that provides a comforting, natural enclosure from the elements, while at the same time opening up and flowing out to the fairways, the 18th green and the seascape beyond.
The clubhouse is the focus for golfers; a marker of arrival from which the initial impressions of the course are formed, a facility to take care of a golfers needs with understated luxury, a warm space providing refreshment at the end of the days play, relaxed in the sun or perched at the bar, a superb dining experience that caters for golfers and the occupants of the houses to come.
