Meridian Golf Par 3

Meridian Golf Par 3 has been welcoming golfers to its park-like setting in Surrey, British Columbia since 1959, when it was established on land that once operated as a hazelnut farm. The course is family run, and that warmth carries through from the first tee. All 18 holes are framed by towering trees, including some genuinely large cedars that add both grandeur and fragrance to the round. Near the 9th tee, a nut house used for cracking hazelnuts still stands as a remnant of the property's agricultural past. A creek winds through the back nine, coming into play directly in front of the green on five holes — a real penalty for anyone who leaves a club in the bag. In autumn, the creek draws salmon returning to spawn, a natural spectacle that sets this course apart. The hilly terrain and tight tree-lined corridors make Meridian more demanding than a typical par 3 layout. The signature hole is the 4th, a 155-yard uphill tee shot over a centrally placed sandtrap to an elevated green guarded by a large maple tree.
