The Joy of Golf

For some folks, playing golf is a source of joy.

Unfortunately, time and money limitations often get in the way of this coveted activity.

That’s why we built a website highlighting short courses (par 3 and executive golf courses to be exact).

These venues allow more people to play a round of golf even with time and budget limitations.

We’ve worked for over a decade to build the best list of par 3 courses in the world. We still work on that list every single week…adding, pruning and updating as needed. Our goal is to give you the most up-to-date course information so you find your next spot to play.

Our directory uses geolocation technology so you can search for par 3 golf courses near you.

But the story doesn’t end here.

We also write golf content.

When we started Par 3 Near Me, our first priority was building a database of short courses. We poured countless hours into writing each course listing by hand (we currently have over 1,400 courses in the directory).

As more and more golfers found out about our project, we started to get emails asking us questions about the sport as a whole.

Instead of answering the same questions over and over again, we started building a repository of golf content.

We wrote about golf balls, golf clubs, golf etiquette and even golf carts…best of all, we learned that we could monetize that content (very exciting)!

Our work was truly a labor of love, but to make some money for our efforts — now that was fun!

All was going well until one major search engine decided to issue a devastating algorithm update. Our traffic has plumetted ever since, but we’re still proud of everything we’ve accomplished through a decade of consistent work (and playing by Google’s rules). We wish that a search engine was smart enough to reward our efforts and highlight this genuinely useful tool, but it appears that large media conglomerates with weak content get to dominate the rankings.

But alas, this is where things currently stand.

Sob story aside…

…We still believe in the joy of golf, and we’re honored that you’re here.

Now go find a place to play!
