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 course improvements including renovations to 3 greens. Going forward Ledgeview is focused on being a host venue for major provincial and national championships.
