Assistant/Associate Professional Ledgeview Golf Club - Abbotsford, BC
The Ledgeview Golf Club, located in Abbotsford BC, has just celebrated its 60th anniversary. With a unique and decorated history of developing some of Canadas top professionals, such as Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor, Ledgeview, operating as a non- profit society, is a challenging par 70 layout. Major changes have taken place over the past 2 years highlighted by the opening of a brand new 12,000 sqft clubhouse with a full-service restaurant and large banquet space. In 2022 the Trans Mountain Expansion Project entered the Ledgeview property and provided the opportunity to make major course improvements including the completion of renovations to 3 greens and the addition of an 80 yd practice hole.
In addition to accommodating both a full membership, public play, and charity events, Ledgeview is focused on being a host venue for major provincial and national championships. 2023 Ledgeview played host to the PGA of Canada Seniors National Championship and will be hosting the 122nd BC Amateur Championship.
The city of Abbotsford offers a great opportunity for an active lifestyle with reasonable affordability all while being a 1-hour drive from Vancouver. Abbotsford boasts its own International Airport, agricultural tourism, farm to table establishments, and the AHL Abbotsford Canucks (farm team for Vancouver Canucks).
