Course History

On August 13, 2001, after 3 years of planning, permitting, and building, Ledges Golf Club opened for its first round of golf. The clubhouse was a double wide trailer and the banquet facility was a large tent. The first 31/2 years were difficult ones as course conditions were less than favorable during the grow-in period. Play was inconsistent and the Ledge's reputation was less than satisfactory.

In the beginning of 2005 the town ended its relationship with the company that was providing management and maintenance. In March 2005 the town took over the management of the course and hired well known golf course maintenance contractor International Golf Maintenance of Champions Gate, FL. New course superintendent Mike Fontaine immediately went to work tackling the problems of the past. By mid-season the conditions were vastly improved and players started coming back. The 2007 season produced course conditions that ranked among the best in Western Massachusetts - public or private.

2007 also saw the addition of a driving range and plans for a new clubhouse facility. The new clubhouse, which will be opening with the beginning of the 2008 season, makes the Ledges Golf Club a complete golf facility. "Public Golf with a Private Feel". If you haven't played The Ledges you're missing an exciting golf experience. With Excellent Conditions, Fantastic Vistas, Full Amenities, and a Professional Staff waiting to serve you, the Ledges Golf Club is "More Than Just a Round of Golf".
