What Golf Digest said about The Ledges

The Ledges, a private club in Huntsville built in 2000, not only made the Golf Digest list, but placed in the top 5 among Alabama’s golf courses.

“The steep rock wall dropoff lurking just steps off the second fairway is both impressive and intimidating. The course offers beautiful views of the valley, downtown Huntsville and the U.S. Space and Rocket Center 12 miles to the west.”

Derek Duncan, Golf Digest
