Paradise Valley MAKING GOLF FUN AGAIN


On a sunny summer afternoon in Medicine Hat, the parking lot at Paradise Valley Par 3 Golf Course is sure to be packed. A perfect example of a multi- generational facility in our community, kids head out with their parents or grandparents, teenagers and young adults join friends for a few hours in the sun, and groups gather on the starting tee for a “fun for everyone” golf tournament and barbecue.


A round at Paradise Valley can be completed in a few hours, which goes a long way toward addressing one of the many issues that face today’s golfers - the time required to play a traditional 18-hole round. And these holes are no easy pitch-and-putts: elevation changes, gnarly greenside rough, and creekside greens make it challenging as well as fun. Golf is not an elitist activity – it can and should be fun - at least occasionally!


Think of Paradise Valley as a championship golf course in a par-3 setting. It allows more seasoned players the opportunity to really concentrate on hitting irons


and putting, and yet makes an excellent training ground for beginners. The shorter holes take long distance shots


immediately out of focus and force you to build accuracy and consistently work on your aim.


Asked about his favourite hole, one of the regulars shares with us: “The signature hole at Paradise Valley has to be #15. While only 130 yards in length, after completing the first 5 holes of the scenic back nine, all of a sudden the creek curves right in front of you and stares you in the face. In fact, the edge of the creek runs all the way up the left side of the fairway, with trees along its side getting progressively higher right up to the green. Often the pin is hidden behind the trees and you’re forced to either take on the creek and the


tall trees to the left,


or to play to the right instead, leaving a tough shot directly towards the creek and adjacent cliff in order to settle on the green.”


Opened in 1984 on land once occupied by a dairy farm, Paradise Valley is a privately owned and operated 18-hole golf course that offers fun, affordable golf for everyone. With stunning creekside and coulee views, an afternoon at the golf course feels more like a relaxing walk in the park - enjoying nature without leaving the city limits.
