Ledges Golf Club

About
The Ledges Golf Club in South Hadley is tucked away in the Pioneer Valley, an area of western Massachusetts known for its lush, rolling hills. It is a favorite amongst locals since it is one of the best values in the region. The course enjoys scenic views that stretch to Mt. Tom and the Holyoke Range. It is on the shorter side at just over 6,500 yards from the back tees, but the dramatic changes in elevation make it seem much longer. Most of the greens are raised with steeply sloped sides, making accuracy essential since missing them by even just a few feet will result in a serious penalty. The golf course has a heavily wooded front nine that seamlessly transitions into a more open back nine featuring links-style holes. The Ledges is a shotmaker's course that offers several interesting risk-reward opportunities.

Ledges Number Four, Par 4, 276. The fairway is narrow, with precious little bail-out to its right. A driveable hole for the bold. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/22/2022

# Nine, Par 5, 528. These bunkers will snare many an approach shot that is sliced or pushed. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/22/2022

The 10th is a classic downhill par-5 of 564; it’s a three-shotter for all but very long, straight hitters. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/22/2022

The massive bunker that sides green eleven could be a nightmare for those who aren’t all that handy with a sand wedge. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/22/2022

Eighteen (from the left rough): Great finisher where you’ll want to avoid every one of the seven fairway bunkers, including these three. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/22/2022

The final hole as seen from its right rough. Getting up and down around this green is no simple task. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/22/2022

a pleasant last round of the year
Such a gorgeous November Sunday with temps in the low 60s. Our foursome stripped to short sleeves for half the round. I had my best 9 holes of the season on the frontside, birdies on 3,4,5 & 9 (aerated greens and all). Staff was skimpy and distracted but that's to be expected on their last day of the season. Thanks for staying open so we might enjoy the day in this way.
Becoming a favorite of mine
I always enjoy playing this course. Nice, fun layout with some open fairways, and do or die Par 4s. Greens are in excellent condition even late in they year.
Will definitely be back soon.
Always fun
Course was in very good shape, with the exception that greens gave been slow to recover from aeration a month ago.
Well Maintained and Fun Course
My fourth time playing at the Ledges and loved it. Love the layout, challenging but not overwhelming. Friendly staff, clean facilities. Restaurant is pretty good with healthy menu and reasonable price. Highly recommend.
A lot of Leaves on the grounds. Very difficult to find my ball, even it was on fairways
This is the course I lost most of balls, while usually I don’t lost ball too much.
Worth the trip
For me, course conditions trump everything else, and the course was in excellent condition. They had just punched and top-dressed the greens, but it’s that time of year and is to be expected, so I certainly won’t hold that against them (also, they did a great job of top-dressing). I was staying about 50 minutes away, and it was definitely worth the drive. Will play it again. Good mix of tough and scoring holes.
Worth playing
Enjoyed our round. Course in good condition and staff are all awesome…. Especially Mike (GM). Very friendly and aim to make your round memorable. 19th Hole is great.. good food and staff! Will definitely play here again and highly recommend playing here.
Nice course
This course is worth playing. It is well maintained and the staff is awesome! Very friendly place. Some Challenging holes. The 19th hole is small but the food AND drinks are great! I would recommend this course. The foliage was awesome too.
Conditions
The course was in excellent condition as always. Always enjoy playing this course. Look forward to playing again.
Weekend Overbooked
My friend and I went in Saturday, and the staff was great, starter was in top of his game…course looked great BUT…too many groups on the course, first 4 holes took us over an hour, and a slow group even let us play through one hole…and we left because it showed zero signs of speeding up. Sad because we were looking forward to playing.
Great course pretty views
The ledges is a great public course at a reasonable price. I've played private courses and this was in as good shape! Nice views too.
slow play!!
Outing of non-players ruined it for me. First nine was 2 hour, 45 min long. Most of these elderly "golfers" should be at a chip-n-putt. No one knew how to play ready golf. Avoid Legdes
This course is great.
No comments to play. Great experience golf measurements
