The Ledges Golf Club
The Ledges is a Matt Dye design in the hills just north of St. George, UT. The area including Mesquite to St George along the I-15 has some incredible golf courses, and the Ledges is one of the top ones we played. The course has stunning scenery with all sorts of unusual and highly colorful rock formations (including "Rock Fish" - from where the restaurant at Ledges gets its name). The front nine features a rolling terrain with generous fairways and some elevation changes. The back side is one of the most memorable nine holes you might ever play with canyon backdrops and carries over desert washes and ravines. Green complexes are raised and well protected on the sides and behind by sand bunkers with slight undulations. Mounding along the fairways and beside the greens is extensive, there are 80 sand bunkers, and water comes into play on just two holes. The major criticism the Ledges I had was the severity of the undulations on the green and a few of them slope away from the approach shots, and a few are tiered, some three tiers! Overall the course was challenging yet not overwhelming. The view of “Snow Canyon” from the 11th and 12th holes is spectacular. A must play, and a decent price.

The Ledges is a Jekyl & Hyde type golf course with the front side mostly open, and forgiving with little in the way of elevation change. The backside by contrast is tight, tough, and a significant amount of elevation change. By the time we got to the backside, we were sufficiently warmed up for a much tougher challenge. Many of holes are bordered by desert sand and scrub or red rock canyons and vistas. Miss the fairways on the back and you may never find your ball. The greens were very large and had some tiers and undulations. Make sure you get your approach club distance correct. My only complaint about the golf course is that while there's GPS, there's no yardage markers in the fairways. I like to walk, and let my partner take the cart, and that didn't work well without yardage markers. We played most of the courses in St. George, and preferred The Ledges to the rest, challenging layout, very scenic, excellent conditions, and fair rates. Flag Content
The front nine was pretty flat and mundane, like many public courses. Nothing too spectacular, no big elevatio changes, but the back nine is where it's at, on the other side of the main road through a tunnel The back nine goes further back into the rocks and has a few elevation changes and a couple of very cool holes, and more challenging than the front. Probably should have played this one before Wolf Creek, as it was a bit of a disappointment.
