32 alberta provincial profile: paradise canyon Southern Alberta's Golfing Paradise The city of Lethbridge may not have been known as a golfing Mecca, but that has changed the rise of the reputation of Paradise Canyon. Over the past 20 -years this top-notch resort has thrust this friendly prairie destination into the nation's golf limelight. It does not take long to realize you are somewhere special as you drive down the hill into Paradise Canyon golf Resort. Protected by the hills and cliffs of the Oldman River, Paradise Canyon is an oasis. The intense colors of the manicured fairways contrast against the brilliant white sand of the course bunkers and deep blue waters of the Oldman River. The piece de resistance is the "badlands", the coulees that provide the stark backdrop. This Southern Alberta course garners praise from all who tee it up. Golf Canada saw fit to award Paradise the honor of hosting the Canadian Amateur in 2008. For a number of great reasons, Golf Digest has recognized Paradise Canyon as being among Canada's top 60 courses and a #1rating in Southern Alberta.
