Very enjoyable course to play.

Scenic course with moderate to tight fairways, several interesting holes of various lengths and difficulty. Greens are generally in good condition and reasonably fast. You'll do well to shoot your handicap the first time you play Ledgestone.

A must-play golf experience!

I also played the Payne Stewart course, and Branson Hills -- both VERY worthy. Ledgestone was my favorite, as it is just GORGEOUS, and very playable, though challenging.

Course in good shape & challenging

This is a very scenic but challenging course that was in good shape. While some of the holes may appear to be short in distance on the scorecard they do have some hidden surprises. It is more of a strategic course with big drives running into trouble on some holes. Some great golf holes to make for a memorable round. Field does tend to back up on the back nine so don't leave your tee time too late!

Very Senic

Beautiful golf course. Carts had GPS, key for locked restrooms,refreshment cart, and many extras. The course was challenging but fair. Very senic. We were a little dissipointed to find out that they would send single golfers out right behind a twosome.We let two fo them through by the second hole. There also was a lot of noise on the course, weed wackers, chainsaws, mowers cutting roughs and fairways at 4:00 in the afternoon. Great course we would play agin.

The pace of play was REAL SLOW ALL DAY. No marshall to speed up play is crazy.

The pace of play was awful. 5 hours for a short course like this is not acceptable. The guy who was behind the counter was not friendly at all. There wasn't a marshall to speed the slow fools up. The greens were below average. Very nice lay out of course. Very pretty holes.

Beautiful course.

Beautiful course, superb condition. Not an easy course and lots of hills but many of the hills tended to funnel the ball back into the fairway which was nice. The beverage cart came around four or five times during the round. All in all, very impressed.

Challenging and scenic

Very scenic course with water on several holes and many elevation changes. Fairly narrow fairways but some wider landing/bail out areas. Greens a little tricky to read and fairly large. Very enjoyable.

Great course to challenge you in every way

Played Ledgestone on Labor Day afternoon and was surprised it wasn't too busy. The course has a great mix of holes, but tends to play more to the shorter side. As a player who is long off the tee, I had many holes where I couldn't utilize driver or end up in woods/lakes/OB. Iron play off the tees was key on some holes. Greens were very fast! Only complaint I have is the course appears to be watered too much. On one tee box and on several holes, you walk through mud or squish in the grass. Overall, a fun course with lots of different challenges.

Need Course Marshall

Had 3 sum finished front 9 in 1 1/2 hours. On 12th hole caught group ahead of us. It took 3 1/4 hours to finish the back 9. Ruined what would have been a great day of golf on a great course. Had to wait 10 to 15 min. between each shot..

Challenging sloped fairways and undulating greens

The course was in excellent condition, with ideal length of grass on the fairways, tees, and greens. It played very quickly with few others on the course in the afternoon, yet decent breezes kept playing conditions comfortable with the amount of shade and the drinking water available on the course. The sloped fairways provided an extra challenge, and the undulating greens were somewhat fast, but added interest and challenge.

Well worth the money

This is a nicely maintained layout with two very distinctive nines. The front nine, while challenging, is somewhat tame elevation wise. The back nine, however, is a whole 'nother story. Lots of elevation changes, uphill greens, sloping fairways and interesting pin placements make for quite a change of pace. Holes 15-18 are exceptionally strong finishing holes.

Comfort wise, there were plenty of on course rest rooms, drinking water was plentiful, and cart refreshments showed up 5(!) times during the round.

Play this one - you won't be disappointed.

Course was fun to play with beautiful scenery.

Enjoyed the day and got a great deal from Golfnow.com. Course was beautiful well maintained and fairly open with wide fairways. Just the right amount of difficulty and shot making to soot me. I thought the staff was a little surely and stand off. The pro shop was fairly busy when we arrived to check in. We were about 15 minutes early and got right in line behand a lady purchasing about five golf shirts. The clerk took a long time checking her out and as he did the line grew. We were next but when we got to the counter he had us step aside to wait on the man behind us that was buying a few more shirts. this gentleman had already asked if we were next in line and we were. Then when the next group came up to pay for their items he asked them to wait and called us back up to give us a key. I am sure they were wondering what was going on as they were not in line when this all began and neither were we when he called us up to give us the keys. Poor Poor customer relations and service!!!

Very challenging! Great course but excessive rain diminished the playability

The course was in good condition. It probably would've been in outstanding condition had it not rained for over a week straight before I played my round at Ledgestone. The rough was very deep because the course maintenance crew hadn't been able to run the mowers in the soggy soil. Needless to say, I lost quite a few balls in the thick rough.

The course was very challenging on several holes and is not well suited for a mid to high handicapper. The course is listed at 6,420 yards from the blue tees. However a lot of holes seemed to play quite a bit farther than what was listed on the scorecard. It seemed like the course actually played at around 6,800 from the blue tees. I am roughly a 22 handicap at my home course (which measures about 6,200 from the blues) but my score at Ledgestone was much higher than 22 over par. I believe that part of that was due to the extended length.

Other facets leading to the difficulty may include the slope rating (since there was a lot of elevation changes at Ledgestone) and the fact that there were also some very narrow fairways to hit off the tee (with out of bounds close by). Many of these holes were not safe to hit driver unless you were striking it well because the approach landing area in the fairway was narrow and the rough had been uncut and was about 3 inches deep. Also most of these holes with narrow approachs were long (425+ yard) par 4's where you couldn't really afford to hit 3 wood. Since I have been struggling with my driver this season (due to diminished playing time since the birth of our daughter in April) I struggled to play Ledgestone. I would not recommend the course to anybody who is having problems off the tee with their driver. Other than that, I would say the course is exceptional. If I get the chance to play again then I will make sure my game is put together a little better and I will play from the white tees which are listed at 5,873 yards because I bet they are closer to 6,000+ yards

Terrible experience

1st and last time playing this course Greens were in terrible shape. Pace of play worst I've ever dealt with. Wasn't that busy but some home owner members. They treated it like social hour. Took 5 to 10 minutes between shots. No one would let you play through. Terrible experience. By 13th hole had decided would never play this course again. Will never recommend it either

What a terrific experience.

This course has it all: great course details and challenges for all levels of play. The course is very well maintained and the layout is amazing. Each hole requires strategy and controlled shots. I would highly recommend Ledgestone to anyone looking for a great day of golf in the Ozarks.
