Lederach Golf Club

Not a bad course, but quite crowded with no ranger to move along slow players. My group waited on every hole and never saw a ranger. It probably should have been cart paths only, but we were allowed to drive our carts on some wet fairways, which did not improve the course condition, despite our efforts to be careful.

Course is in great shape! Greens are way to much for a public course they actually slow down play. Long par 5 . Sand traps can be tricky. Very very nice to play

Overall, I liked the layout of the course. However, there are several factors that need improvement. First, the course was REALLY beat up. It looked as if the fairways had gotten a fungus or something was burning them up. Next, it's nice to see greens with undulations, but putting many pins in locations that are right on the edge of the mounds is a joke. On the 8th green, one of the players missed his putt and it almost ran back into a bunker. Next, the tee boxes seems to be slanted so that you are not level. Finally, a marshal on the course would have been appreciated. The group in front was a 2-some and the group in front of them never let them through. Somehow, my group of three often had to wait on the 2-some.

Still has some conditioning issues in fairways, tough to play with many blind shots, but if you played more would be easier. Does not help speed of play trying to find balls. Many greens with huge slopes. So bring your sense of humor. Nice property. Just overdid it on too many holes to want to play a lot. Certainly not a boring course.

I found the tee boxes, and course in rough shape. I was surprised there were no washers for the balls on each hole.
I am glad I got such a good deal on Golf Now because if I paid $50 or $60 to play this course I would be upset.

Great course and layout, pace of play was a bit slow for my taste, 5 hrs. The greens have awesome undulations and are in great condition but could have been mowed a good bit down as they were overly fluffy and shoe spike marks were a real problem putting.

Course needs a ranger on Saturdays to keep pace of play - group ahead was holding the entire course up and never saw a ranger once come by to speed the group up. This slow play caused numerous groups to be waiting on one tee box at a time.

The main issue I had with the course was the crazy pin placements. While i liked the green size and shape some pins were placed in places that were almost unaccessible. That did detract from the experience.

Maintenance an issue. Pace of play is ok but not great. Price of $75 is steep considering all of the other options.

This course doesn't deserve the rating and ranking that it has. I've seen and played over 500 courses in the US and abroad and this place is a joke. They should have a Clowns Head and Windmill on half the greens. The layout is superb but the greens are too undulated if they flatten the greens a bit they would be able too speed them up. The greens were probably rolling about 7.5 to 8. The bunkers also are in need of restoration and detailing. Two(2) of the bunkers were filled with water. If they flatten the greens and make the course more of a value I would probably play there again, if not, they got me once but not again!!! Also it would pay them to have a starter and ranger and place handicaps for recommended tees on scorecard, our pace of play was over 5-1/2 hours.

We were fortunate to get a nice discount with Golfnow.com and played Lederach for the first time. Staff was quite friendly and the course was in superb condition. The course reminds me of a resort course - because it runs through a beautiful residential neighborhood. Many forced carries. Bring a few extra balls because of heavy fescue. Undulating greens. We enjoyed the experience and will be back.

The course is tough, mostly due to blind approach shots and undulating greens. If you are off the fairway in many circumstances it is going to cost you and I would suggest buying a yardage book in the pro shop if you don't have GPS with you. There are many approach shots to undulating greens that having the right number will really help.

Play was slow, course was in good condition. The greens are a little to slow also would like to see them faster.

Layout is great, but course needs work. Certain areas were rough in need of care. Round was five and 1/2 hours long due to slow play with no ranger seen all day. Clubhouse was poor with 15 minute wait for cold dogs and warm beer. I wouldn't be back!

It took us more than 5 hours to play 18 on a Wednesday. No ranger seen on the course even though the course was packed.

Course was in fantastic shape but a 5+ hour round is ridiculous.

Nice course but not managed well. Pro shop not very proactive. Need better front end management of prepping carts, getting starter more organized, more ranger presence on course, faster and better food service at the turn and pro shop folks to be more aggressive and organized. Great layout and course features and well maintained so no big negatives with the course just need to work around the poorly organized, trained and managed staff.

The greens on this course are very challenging with several undulations. You have to make sure that you are positioned properly on the green so you have a shot at birdie or par. There are some with a couple of different levels which will hurt you if you are not on the correct one!
The fairways are in great shape with some blind shots in to the greens and protected by bunkers that force you to make sure you have the correct club for the distance.

This is a fun course to play if you love to hit your driver! There are numerous opportunities to really smash it but this course is really all about the greens. With elevation changes of up to 4 feet on some greens, club selection is at a premium. If you can get the ball on the right level you'll have a good look at birdie. If not,...GOOD LUCK!

Lederach is a great course, Fact! Nice layout and challenging; makes you think before you hit. The greens are an adventure at times, but they are not unfair.
I'd like to say the houses aren't in the way, but two of my buddies shots ended up close.
The course was packed for Thursday at 1:30, (go to work people!), but it still played well until a huge backup on the 13th tee. The cart had to be returned after #9, it hardly made it there. The switch was handled well by the cart dude, thankfully, because it took a while to get a cart in the first place. They were out retrieving a different dead cart...sheesh.
I saw $75 in their rates on the weekend...gotta get them bad boy e-carts charged up!! Glad I booked on golfnow for $35ish. :)

Even with the cart nonsense it was still enjoyable. I like Lederach a lot.
Thanks
