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

My new favorite course!
New golfer here, but I’ve played a handful of locations around the area.
Ledges is definitely my new favorite! The whole course is well maintained and everyone was very friendly!
Most holes were on the shorter side, but I prefer those! Some were narrower, making them a bit tricky for a newer golfer, but they definitely helped with getting me to shoot straighter!
Food was amazing! I got the jerk chicken wrap which was 10/10.
The view from the course is beautiful, with Mount Tom and the range off in the distance! It was slow during my round, so I found myself staring off into the distance quite a bit!
I’ll be coming back here more frequently now!
Mostly good, but pace terrible
I've been playing Ledges for a few years now. I like the layout and the conditions are generally always good. I've played mostly midweek, and the pace has been great those times. I've started to play on the weekends occasionally. My brother lives out in Western MA, so I'll make the drive out from Boston to play with him. Until yesterday, weekend rounds had been fine at about 4 hours, but yesterday it took 5 hours. We got stuck behind a single slow group that had multiple holes in front of them. We waited for them to clear the 14th green, and then hit our tee shots. We had to chip onto the green and then putt out. As we drove to the 15th tee, the group ahead of us still had not teed off. We tried to get help from the clubhouse to move them along, but they were understaffed, and said there wasn't anyone who could go out to push them along. The pace ruined what could have been a perfect day of golf.
Beautiful course, very well-maintained
Very pretty course. Some short par 4s, and very short par 3s. Overall a lovely course and not crowded. A good deal for the money.
Too expensive
They are priced to be elite, which they are not. $75 to play on a Friday? Food and drinks are over priced. If you are traveling to Western Mass to play, try Westover, or Chicopee. Just not worth it ....
Lightning fast greens
Great condition tee to green. Only complaint was the poor estimating of morning foursomes preceding a large tournament. Long story short; a very crowded back 9 with long wait times. More buffer on tournament days is needed.
Nice Round at Ledges Golf Club
The course was in tremendous condition. Fairways were is great condition, greens were well kept, 4:15 round. Perfect day, literally nothing to complain about.
Close to being excellent
If the Ledges had a starter and a ranger, the course would be 5 stars as an everyday golfer course. Dollar for dollar it’s a tremendous bargain and worth a visit.
From the start. Pro shop attendant was great. Sometimes I feel like those folks side-eye GN users. This was not the case. He kindly gave us directions to the driving range which is off-site so if you’re new to the course, it’s on your left hand side across from a dog park a hundred yards or so before you hit the parking area. My suggestion. Some of the balls are absolute garbage which leads me to believe it’s not owned by the course?
We were paired with a couple regulars (we traveled 90 minutes) and they were good guys. But here’s where the trouble really starts. There was a large group of loud people on the putting green and it had bachelor party vibes and a part of group thought they’d played a six-person scramble midmorning on a Sunday. Everyone can imagine what this does. The group in front of us was with the party, but they drifted between 3-4 guys during the round. Can’t forget what happens when the beer cart hits the group. Sure. Just start telling “what do you guys want to drink?” like no one else can hear you. You get my point, but this is a one off I’m sure, but a stater and ranger would have out an end to this pretty quickly.
As for the course. There are some NARROW and challenging holes. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in very good shape. The layout includes a lot of variety, elevation changes, some water, and lots of trees. Only disappointment closes related were the bunkers which were a 2/5.
All in all, aside from my pace of play rant, I think this is a terrific place to spend the day. If your ball flight is not particularly straight, bring extra balls.
Needs Yardage Markers
Course was in solid condition. I know it is a world where people have their own yardage gauges but that’s not always the case. There is basically no yardage out side of a 150 stake or at the tees. There is zero yardage on sprinkler heads or at the tee boxes
Fun layout. Nice people.
Would recommend to anyone. Nice layout. Well maintained. Good people working there. First time playing at this course. Good times.
Fun course in great shape and worth the money
Love, the overall course, particularly the greens which were level and fast providing for true putts. Fairways were cut low and rough was moderate. My only complaint could be that the sand traps were not raked and prepared for play. Overall, I’ll be returning.
