Abbotsford’s Ledgeview Golf Club played big hand in creating Nick Taylor
Ledgeview Golf Club’s tagline is “Where legends are born” – and perhaps no one exemplifies that more than the 2023 RBC Canadian Open champion Nick Taylor.
And for all that Taylor has given back over the years, the course gave him a lot of love back after his historical win on June 11. Clapp pointed out that Ledgeview was hosting a regional junior championship event at the time that Taylor was hunting for the Canadian Open title and the happy coincidence wasn’t lost on him or the junior players.
When Clapp took over as general manager in 2021 he made it a priority to make sure that PGA pros Taylor and Hadwin, along with legendary alum like James Lepp and Ray Stewart, were still involved in the club. He said that Taylor and his family live relatively close to Ledgeview and it’s not unusual to see the champion on the grounds at Ledgeview.
Clapp said Ledgeview creates champions for a variety of reason. There are challenging and fast greens and fairways that are often narrow, and golfers are frequently playing off a side hill line, which makes it hard to predict where to take your next shot. But Clapp said Stewart told him one unique limitation that sets Ledgeview apart is the lack of driving range availability. Clapp said this forces young golfers to work on all aspects of their game and not just focus on pounding drives.
