The course was in great shape, with only a few areas that needed some recovery from the weather. Everyone we met was very helpful and pleasant to deal with, the course was obviously well-managed. Play was a slow, but the staff made efforts to move players along. I would suggest avoiding Saturdays, which seemed to be significantly more crowded. It is a challenging course, so less-experienced players may want to move up a tee box, as some of the holes are long or more difficult.All in all, a very nice course.
There is the fairway, a collar of rough and boulders. Do what you have to to keep the ball in fairway and always keep the ball below the pin. Some greens have four tiers so you could practice lots of putting without meaning to. It is a great layout and a challenge, so choose your tees carefully. Very pricey considering this is Maine, not Pinehurst.
Played here many times in past. Great layout, great staff. Unfortunately this past experience not as positive as previous experiences. The fairways were in especially poor condition which was unexpected given the greens fees. Appears as though they may be experiencing financial difficulties not putting much back into the course. Quite the shame. to be honest, this course currently is not worth the money given all the other really nice courses in New England that are far less costly.
The Ledges is easily a top 10 course in the state if not a top 5 course. The greens and fairways were in great shape and each hole is unique. There are only 2 negatives to this course. First, the cart paths are in desperate need of repair. With a little new asphalt, the course would seem all that much better. The second negative is the price. Compared to the other top courses in the state (that all offer discounted rates from time to time) the greens fees seem to be a little high. I would highly recommend playing this course!
Beautiful layout and friendly staff. Course is in fantastic condition and a true test. Not much for after round food. A bit pricy, but worth a try if you like to golf
We love playing this public course! The holes are well laid out, challenging, and in a beautiful setting and the price is nice. Save time to savor your round at the 19th hole outdoor deck.
92 Dollars equals great greens pockmarked and ragged fairways cartpaths that need a 4 by 4 cart does nobody work on this track put some money into it. Save your doe this is not worth it
My husband played this golf course twice. It was a rainy, and stormed both times, but he still loved playing it, because it was so well kept.
This track is a test for the scratch golfer and can certainly be intimidating for the high handicapper. The greens are absolutely HUGE and there isn't a flat putt on the whole course. I'm willing to be that those lucky ones who have experienced Sugarloaf should certainly see similarities; number eight at The Ledges will remind you of 11 at The Loaf! Try it, you're gonna like it!
Planning trip to southern Maine, spend much time looking for courses to play. Ledges had some great reviews, including Golf Digest. So it went on the list. We played 2 days - but more about that later. Great course, great staff, and even great food at the club house (the best Reuben Sandwich (with drunken sauerkraut - beer added), and onion rings we've had) . I found all the holes to be challenging and a lot of fun to play. The view and setting was fantastic. Each hole had is own character carved out of hills. The course was meticulous; with grounds keepers all over.The front nine was my favorite all the 3 courses we played this week - Ledge, Outlook and Old Marsh. All 9 holes were special. Rolling hills allows to chase balls up to many greens. Some short par 4's required good course management. No need to bring the driver to every tee box.The par 3, 8th is truly scenic. Its the picture on their web site. 170-180 yds straight downhill with a pond on the left. My best hole - 10 ft from the each day. Missed the putt both days also :(We played two days as a storm came as we were finishing the front nine on day one. I was having a Caddyshack 'priest' day, and didn't want to stop. But sadly, they maybe us stop because of lightning in the area. That gave us time to talk with the staff at the pro shop and restaurant. Great people. Helpful and friendly. Anyway, got a raincheck for 9 holes and came came back a few days later - the drizzle again on the front nine felt like we hadn't left. Sun came out for the back 9. Knowing the front nine from day 1, helped on day 2 as tee shot placement was important.Bottom-line: play Ledges. You'll want to play it again. I know I do.
