About
Situated less than a half hour from Lethbridge, Magrath Golf Club is known among locals as the South's hidden gem. The course sprawls across gently rolling hills dotted with mature trees. The greens are quick and the fairways are generous on this player-friendly layout. There is a stream that snakes through the golf course in addition to a number of lakes. You'll encounter water on nearly every hole and you'll also have to contend with a few strategically placed bunkers. The golf course begins with a par-4 dogleg right with a fairway bunker on the left and trees all along the right side. Magrath Golf Club's final hole is another par 4, though this one is a bit tougher. There is trouble from tee to green, starting with a tee shot over water to a sloped fairway. Two bunkers guard the front of the green, making approaches extremely difficult.

Love It
Pros: Enjoyed playing this course. Greens were in great shape along with the nicely manicured fairways. The scenery and wildlife were a bonus.
Cons: Bunkers could use more sand as several were hard packed.
Southern Alberta Gem
A great course half hr from lethbridge.
Sure is a long course but has a great layout.
Well worth checking out!
Great value
I was a little sceptical when I saw that they were a "hidden gem" but the course was in great condition and well laid out for the average golfer. Wide fairways, challenging greens, excellent course conditions and good pace of play made this a great golf experience. Would definitely play this course again on future visits to the area. To boot, the pro staff repaired a broken club I had and only charged $5.
Magrath Golf
The course was in excellent shape and not busy. The fairways, greens were in excellent shape. There were also several does and fawns on the course which added to the experience. Great day!
Challenging, nice layout.
Great for the average golfer as it challenges your strategy for ball placement throughout the course. Good variety of par 3,4 & 5s. Greens were quite fast and the scenery is appealing , also has an abundance of wildlife.
Quality Course
Always a fun round. Greens are in great shape. Worth a round or two for sure.
Relaxing atmosphere.
Some winter-kill still very evident on fairways, but to be expected after their colder than average winter.
Friendly staff allowed me to pair-up & go early.
Very relaxing & river-valley setting.
Really nice course but
I've been golfing this course for 30 years and never get tired of the layout. It winds through a valley formed by a small creek that comes into play on a number of holes. A true country course where there's lot of room and you never feel crowded, in fact you are hard pressed to even see adjacent holes most times. The course is in great shape although they had started punching and sanding the greens the day we played. Now the but, in an effort to make the course play harder they have narrowed the fairways by extending the rough on both sides. This wouldn't be a bad idea if there was a first cut of rough and then a longer cut further out but right off the fairway the rough is 3 to 4 inches long. And it's lush so much so that we spend a considerable amount of time just looking for balls because you can't see them until you're right on top of them. This reduces the enjoyment factor where a ball a foot off a now narrow fairway is very difficult to hit. It's been like this all season and is making the course frustrating not challenging.
Prairie Gem
Great find in the prairies. Long, challenging course with diverse layout. Quiet and pretty setting with Oldman River winding through the entire course. Well maintained greens and fairways. Would definitely golf here again.
