What are you waiting for?

If you’re looking for a way to enjoy the beautiful season is that autumn around Edmonton, join us this fall and Explore Parkland! Whether you’re navigating the twists and turns of the corn maze, hiking through the vibrant autumn woods, or enjoying a round of golf, Parkland County offers a plethora of activities to celebrate the fall season.

I never really golfed, but a couple of my girlfriends got into it with their husbands a few years back and dragged the rest of us into it. Fast forward to now and it seems like we are getting out a couple times a month all summer long.

Before I golfed I didn’t realize there were so many courses in Parkland County. I live in St. Albert, but honestly, the courses out this way have so much on offer that I keep coming back. And with the rest of the girls living kind of all over Edmonton now it’s easy for us all to head west and meet up.

It’d be tough to pick a favourite course, but lately I’ve really been liking the challenge over at The Ranch. And it’s ranked one of the best courses in Alberta too I think, so we’re pretty lucky to have access to that.
