The fall really is an excellent time of year for sports fanatics to be in Abbotsford! With the colours changing, it’s the perfect backdrop for a round of golf. Or maybe if you want to take your sporting inside, you can try some indoor pickleball! And for the Sports Fanatic that loves to watch the pros, the Abbotsford Canucks are kicking off their season this month! Read on to learn more.

DAY ONE

Oldhand Coffee is a cozy haven for coffee lovers, celebrated for its expertly crafted brews and welcoming atmosphere. This locally-owned café focuses on high-quality, ethically sourced beans, showcasing a range of single-origin coffees and innovative seasonal drinks (which are perfect for the fall season!).

Next up, pay a visit to the driving range at Fraserglen Golf Course while the grass is still green and the fall colours are shining. An early morning at the range never looks as good as it does in the fall when the sun comes up and burns that chilly mist away. And even though the sun will be down earlier this season, Fraserglen keeps their driving range visitors cozy with excellent heating and lighting throughout the facility. Whether you’re new to the sport or a long-time golfer, you’ll fit right in and you can even get lessons if you’d like to up your game!

Now that you’ve worked up an appetite, it’s time for lunch! Located in the Mt. Lehman area, Chef Boss Culinary is a not-so-hidden gem in Abbotsford! We recommend The “Mary Moon,” a roasted veggie sandwich with mozzarella, greens, and balsamic drizzle, all pressed together in a multigrain panini. These are #sandwichesthatyoudreamabout!

Hit House in Abbotsford is the perfect stop for baseball enthusiasts, featuring state-of-the-art batting cages that cater to players of all skill levels so it’s great for the whole family! The facility is equipped with modern technology, including video analysis, to provide instant feedback and enhance training sessions. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just wanting to have a good time at the batting cages, Hit House is the perfect place to hone your skills, have fun, and embrace your passion for the game.
It’s time to head to Abbotsford Centre to check out an Abbotsford Canucks game! Before the game starts, you’ve obviously got to grab a bite to eat. We recommend Lully’s Hot Dogs which is conveniently located inside the arena. This is one hot-dog stand unlike any other and worth experiencing for yourself. Get yourself one of their signature dogs – served on a pretzel bun with fixings that include homemade garlic relish and sauerkraut, then enjoy the game!

It’s time to cheer on the Abbotsford Canucks as they return for another thrilling season! As the farm team of the Vancouver Canucks, this team had a strong season last year where they made it all the way to the Pacific Division semi-finals. Come enjoy the electric atmosphere of high-level sports and cheer along with us as the Abbotsford Canucks make an effort to seize the opportunity of victory this season!

DAY TWO

What better way to wake up than with a hearty breakfast! Crossroads Restaurant in Abbotsford is a beloved local gem, known for its warm ambiance and diverse menu that caters to a variety of tastes. Offering everything from hearty breakfasts to delicious lunch and dinner options, the restaurant emphasizes fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. We love the classic Farmer’s Sausage and Eggs breakfast which features delicious farmer’s sausage from Rempel’s Meats. Whether you’re in the mood for classic comfort food or a flavorful twist on traditional dishes, Crossroads is the perfect spot to enjoy a satisfying meal in the heart of Abbotsford.

Pickleball has been taking the world by storm as it quickly gains popularity across multiple generations. This exciting sport is very welcoming to newcomers but gives you enough of a challenge to make you want to keep coming back for more! If you want to try it out or are just looking for a new court for your next match, check out the TopSpin Pickleball Club and their two indoor courts (plus a very cozy lounge)!

It’s lunch time and lucky for you, Tavern on the Green is not only a charming restaurant but it’s located at our final destination, Ledgeview Golf Course. Nestled in a picturesque setting, it offers a range of delicious dishes, from mouthwatering burgers to fresh seafood and hearty salads, all made with high-quality ingredients. The inviting outdoor patio is perfect for enjoying a meal al fresco, while the cozy interior provides a great spot to unwind with friends over drinks while watching the golfers play.

Ledgeview Golf Course is easily one of the Fraser Valley’s most popular golf courses, with stunning views overlooking the Valley and their beautiful clubhouse.  A fun yet challenging course that is favorable with both recreational and competitive golfers and home to PGA Tour players Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin. Ledgeview is a great place to take your game to the next level and finish off your adventure in Abbotsford!
