⛳ New to Golf? Welcome to Connaught Golf Club, Medicine Hats’ Friendliest Place to Play! 💚😁
At Connaught Golf Club, we welcome golfers of all ages, all abilities, and all experience levels.
Whether you're playing your very first round, returning to the game after years away, or working toward lowering your handicap, we're happy you're here!
Every golfer was a beginner once. No one expects you to know every rule, tradition, or piece of golf etiquette right away. Learning the game is part of the fun, and we're here to help make your experience enjoyable, comfortable, and stress-free.
To help keep our course in great shape for everyone who plays, and to help with pace of play to the groups behind you, here are a few simple tips:
🏌️ Take your time and enjoy the game – Golf is meant to be fun! Don't worry about making the perfect shot.
🌱 Repair the course – Replace or fill your divots, repair your ball marks on the greens, and rake the bunker after your shot. These small gestures make a big difference for the next group.
🚗 Respect cart signs – Please follow cart direction signs and keep carts away from greens, tees, and wet areas to help protect the course.
⏱️ Keep up with the group ahead – Don't worry about playing fast—just try to keep pace with the golfers in front of you. If a faster group catches up and there's room ahead, letting them play through is always appreciated and it will make you feel far less rushed.
🤝 Be courteous – Stay still and quiet while others are hitting, and celebrate the good shots—yours and everyone else's!
⛳️ Use the appropriate tee boxes for your skill level.
• Red Tees: (5446 Yards)
-Forward Tee and Novice Players
• White Tees: (5987 Yards)
-Seniors & Intermediate Player
• Blue Tees: (6632 Yards)
- Experienced Players
• Black Tees: (6943 Yards)
-Low Handicap players Only
• If you are playing with a group that is more experienced and they are playing from more experienced tee boxes, it does not mean you need to play from where they are. Always play from the tee boxes that fit your ability. It speeds up play for the golfers behind you and puts less pressure on you. 😊
🏌️♂️If you are brand new to golf, book your tee times for later in the day when the course is less busy. This allows you more time and you’ll feel less rushed.
Feel free to save the image below and take it with you on your next round!
Most importantly... don't be afraid to ask questions!
