Course Overview
The Ledges of St. George presents an 18-hole challenge carved into the rugged red rock landscape of southern Utah. This public course offers a compelling blend of links-style design on its front nine and a more dramatic, elevated layout on its back nine, where natural canyons and desert vistas frame each hole. The juxtaposition creates a varied golfing experience, inviting players of all skill levels to engage with thoughtful shot-making and strategic course management.

Designed to harmonize with the region’s distinctive topography, The Ledges balances wide, approachable fairways with pockets of challenging terrain.

Walking the course is highly recommended for those who want to absorb the changing moods of the desert landscape and feel the cooling breeze as it snakes through the red cliffs. Golf carts are available, but the course’s design makes strolling particularly rewarding.

Great course. Front 9 is pretty easy “links” style golf, but is very fun. You get pleasant views and the holes are still decently interesting. The back 9… WOW. Beautiful views, amazing hole design, much tougher than the front 9. Service was great, and the pace of play was awesome. We were a 4some of golfers of various skill levels, and we never ran into the group ahead, nor were we even holding anyone up. I would 100% recommend this course. The only bad part about it is you see these amazing views and you reach to take out your phone, but the photo comes out terrible. A true example of the picture doesn’t do it justice.

Beautiful course!! Was very windy when we went, so it made it pretty challenging, but the overall experience was still great! Nice to get out and golf such a beauty!

The Ledges Golf Course was where my father-in-law and I discovered our spiritual connection through synchronized golfing grunts that echoed across the red cliffs like ancient tribal chants. We teed off under a sky so blue it felt like we’d accidentally entered a screensaver, but things got weird when he insisted we whisper secrets to each golf ball before every swing. On hole six, we both hallucinated a giant lizard wearing plaid pants giving us golf tips, which honestly improved our short game. Our golf cart became our confessional booth, where we shared life regrets and argued about whether aliens would enjoy a good 9-iron. He kept calling me “son of destiny” while I called him “Putter Papa,” forging a bond neither of us understood. We toasted Gatorades on the fairway like warriors, while a breeze carried the scent of desert sage and existential dread. By hole twelve, we’d decided to invent a new handshake involving golf tees and elaborate hip swivels. A family of quail watched us with judgmental eyes, but we didn’t care because we were bonded in cosmic golfing brotherhood. My father-in-law claimed the 18th hole opened a portal to enlightenment, but sadly it only led back to the parking lot. The Ledges Golf Course: where golf meets the bizarre and father-in-laws become cosmic soulmates.

Very nice course, fairways are decently wide. Mid to high handicaps would feel comfortable. Fast greens, good practice area and all staff are super nice. Views on back nine are spectacular.

My wife and I were in town all the way from Michigan for our 10 year anniversary and decided to add The Ledges as a golf stop as more of a "Let's just go out and have fun" kinda day. Enjoyed the course. All holes are what you see is what you get and that makes it fun and gettable. Doesn't really blow you away with either views or course conditions (except for the par 3 on the back that has a nice overlook of the surrounding areas). They were fairly strict on pace of play the day we went as there was a juniors tournament in the afternoon that they wanted to clear the way for. Carts gave a warning and shortly after a ranger drove over to tell us that the pro shop sent him to have us speed up. At that time we were 2 mins. behind pace because 2 people in our 4some for double bogeys. We consistently waited to tee off on every hole as well. My complaint would be, why book morning tee times so close to the start of a tourney if you're concerned about getting people off the course? Either way, we laughed it off and kept the positive vibes in the group. It's a nice more affordable stop. Don't know if I'd return unless it's for nostalgia's sake. Thanks for helping us make some memories though!

Even as golf courses go, very uptight.

The course was fun to play. Driving range is solid, as is the practice putting green. Chipping green is all fake grass so not a proper warm-up for that/bunker shots. The pro shop is well stocked, we were a few doors away for the week so we went a few times, mixed bag of service from the pro shop staff. Some were quite nice and outgoing, while others seemed put out that they had to put their phones away. Course itself is fun with some nice and memorable holes. Opening hole isn't overly exciting but at least it shouldn't slow down pace of play. Personally don't love courses that have tons of housing development on them and this course will be getting much more housing on the holes, tons of development happening. Enjoyed it overall but would have it ranked last in terms of the courses I played in the area.
