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

One of my favorite course
Great variety of picturesque fairway/hole layouts
New course for me
First time playing "The Ledges". Starter asked if I had been told about fairway aeration? Answer was no, but the maintenance crew did an excellent job. Found very few plugs left. Pace of play was excellent. Hopefully will get another round there before season ends.
Need some more TLC
So I started playing The Ledges about 10 years ago. The first time I was going there a friend said to me "You're going to enjoy The Ledges, Mark. I really did. I was impressed by the course conditions and all the great service they had to offer. There were Starters,Rangers, beverage carts, etc. Sadly, this place is in demise. The pristine course conditions I once experienced are no longer there. There were stones in the bunkers the size of half dollars and none of the edges had been trimmed. Also there were no starters or Rangers present and no beverage carts out on this day. We had three foursomeswalking in front of us so there was nowhere to go and the pace of play was quite slow. I went into the pro shop after my round to discuss the conditions of the bunkers. Apparently they didn't want to hear it. There was a young lady in there who I assumed was the acting superintendent. She told me I was more than welcome to go pick out the stones from the bunkers if I wanted to. She told me she sends out guys everyday to pick out stones from the bunkers. That's not possible. I won't be back until the conditions improve at this course. Especially for what they're charging and the product they're putting out. Too bad. I once enjoyed this course
Enjoyable round
Staff was friendly and helpful. Played 18 holes in 4 hours. Conditions were excellent.
Impressive
Worth the hr ride . Beautiful day, great views. Started us on 10 and let us out a few min early which was nice. I’m a 14 hc Shot 40 on first 9 from the whites , wife’s a 16 hc shot 45. Was slow going behind a few young kids , Played it in little over 2 hrs. 40-42. 45-45. Great day great staff and great course. Will definitely be back . Thx. Ps username is my wife’s.
Great condition
Even though it rained the entire night before, this course was in excellent shape. Loved the layout. Played from the whites and can't wait to go back and play from the blues!
Hidden gem
Really liked it. For this area public courses it’s right up at the top. Not long but critical to get off the tee well if you do you can score. Risk and reward. Pub was good too.
Great course needs a Marshall
The starter was mixing up tee times and no Marshall to check pace waited 15 minutes and every tee box before we could even tee up.
Wet course, path only most holes
The course layout is good but the course is very wet, most holes is path only. Given the time of year you can expect lots of leaves, slows you down looking for your ball even in the fairways.
Seems they are not too happy with people being on the course, they can't wait to get you off their course, even on a cold day with 3-4 groups max out there.
