The Ledges is a 1999 design of Hurzdan/Fry. Fourteen holes sit atop a plateau at 1300 feet above sea level. Four holes are benched into the mountain side some 200 feet lower. The course is easily walkable IF you take the courtesy carts down to the shelf holes and more importantly back up to the top.
From a ball tossed into the middle of the lions's mouth bunker, I blasted to six feet
I did not try again. There is more room to play sideways or backwards from that bunker than appears.

The approach to the second green, an uphill 410 yards par four. Ten minutes with the chainsaw and a tremendous skyline green:
From 140 yards out on the 560 yards 4th, the second of four holes that are sited on a shelf below the mountaintop:
Example of superior fairway contouring at the par 5 tenth. The fairway swings right to the green which is left of the picture:
The 10th green from the fairway:
The reverse cant of the 14th fairway, a 400 yards dogleg right:
Another skyline green follows:
From 200 yards out at the 485 yards par five 15th. Good risk/reward here with death left and long:
Though hazy, you can barely pick out the Saturn V rocket in the center of the photo down in the valley at the NASA space museum:
This is a course worth visiting if the opportunity presents itself. A great setting, pristine conditioning and excellent fairway contouring are the hallmarks.
