This 9-hole, par 3 course, tucked away behind the Weber Leisure Center and the Skatium Ice Arena, is ideal for beginning golfers or for advanced golfers working on their short game.
The course features bent grass greens, striking landscaping and a gazebo, and also incorporates a great FootGolf course.
