The Ledges Of St. George Golf Course Review

Ledges LogoI’m kind of shooting myself in the foot writing up reviews of golf courses from the Southern Utah and Mesquite, Nevada area. Shooting myself in the foot because I’m increasing the awareness (and potentially the costs and crowds) about an area which is truly a golf mecca but not as well known as others.

Welcome to Red Rock Country

Since I haven’t been to the Playboy mansion yet, my favorite area in the entire USA is still “Red Rock Country.” RRC is basically Southern Utah, North Eastern Nevada and Northern Arizona (Grand Canyon area). The terrain is mostly desert with beautiful red rock mountains, plateaus and formations. The area is so beautiful that it’s littered with many state and national parks, including Arches National Park, Canyonlands, Dead Horse Point, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, Capitol Reef National Park, Valley Of Fire State Pare and others.

The Ledges 15 Green

The Ledges is located in the heart of red rock country: St. George, Utah. St. George is a small desert town in South Western Utah, bordering on Arizona. St. George has a neat history, including being the host of many old wild western films with John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. St. George’s present status is that of a beautiful small town, warm weather year round and tons of great golf courses.

The Ledges course

Designed by Matthew Dye (nephew of Pete Dye), The Ledges opened just a few months ago. This 7200 yard “championship” course takes advantage of the rugged desert landscape nicely. 7200 yards is not short, but not ridiculously long like some new courses apparently “need” to be in the modern golf era.

Golf in December…IN SHORTS!

Heatwave today.  High temp was 60.  Last night I put up my Christmas Tree and today I played 18 here today.  It helps to live next door to a golf course.  Not too bad of a round for Winter and on a tough track: 75.  It was good enough to win $4.75.  Big money, big money.

Tomorrow if the weather holds up I’ll be playing Wingpointe.
