The practice facilities, including a driving range, short game area, and putting green, were enhanced in the early 2000s to provide members with top-notch amenities for improving their game. Additionally, the reconfiguration of the 12th, 13th, and 14th holes by Les Furber in 2010 added new challenges and stunning coulee vistas for golfers of all levels.
The Lethbridge Country Club has a tradition of hosting major events, starting with the Alberta Men's Amateur Championship in 2000.
