Played Gillette Ridge for the first time today from the blues (72.1/135). The course was in excellent condition. Tees, fairways and greens were all in great shape. Nice mix of short and longer holes, straight, right and left doglegs. Fairways are generous and greens are receptive to well struck shots.

There are some long stretches between greens to the next tee, so walking makes it a lot longer. Not sure if it's COVID related or not, but there are no convenience stations (toilets) and we didn't see the cart girl until the back nine. Be prepared for those two things... but enjoy the course because it is fun and challenging to play.

Working in the area for the week and played this course based upon the recommendations here... and I'm glad I did! The course was in excellent shape and the greens rolled true and not so fast as to make it unreasonable.

It is a links style course with plenty of natural grasses to swallow up errant shots. There are some tricky short par 4's that require lay ups or big drives to carry creeks or ponds. The par 3's are all about the same distance, and the par 5's are varied with two reachable and two 3-shot holes.

The club house staff was friendly and accommodating, as were the servers in the bar and grill downstairs. There was no drink cart the day I played (weekday), so don't forget to stock up before you start and at the turn.

I don't make it to this area often, but I definitely would come back and play here again. It was an enjoyable experience.

Nice layout with a good variety of holes... uphill/downhill, short/long, etc. The greens were in excellent condition even with the large amount of rain lately. The tee boxes were pretty bare of grass and not level on many holes. Fairways could also use some attention.

Clubhouse staff was very friendly and ranger was helpful in getting our group past a rather slow group ahead of us. Overall, I’d probably come back here, but I hope some of the conditions mentioned above are addressed.

I play this course frequently and enjoy most aspects of it. There is plenty of variety here, uphill & downhill, left & right, short & long. The greens here are generally very quick, so stay below the hole when you can or risk a three putt or worse. This season they purchased new golf carts with GPS systems, so that helps a lot with yardages and club choice.

The one area that needs serious attention here is the bunkers. They are generally in poor condition with hard, packed down sand and a multitude of rocks. Getting the ball out and close is virtually impossible.

Fix the bunkers and this course goes from "good" to "very good."

Interesting course with plenty of variety. Uphill and downhill holes, short and long holes, dogleg left right and straightaway holes. The course was very wet from a soaking rain two days earlier... and the greens were still brown from the winter.

I’m definitely coming back once the course firms up and greens up. I think I’ll likely enjoy it more the second time around.

It was an overcast day, with a bit of rain. Except for some low areas, the course handled the water well. It was in very good condition, with the greens smooth and quick, but not ridiculously fast. At 6,100 yards from the blues, it is not long. Ledges has some tempting par 4's that you might think about driving the green, but might be better served laying up and taking the wedge into. A nice balance of par 3's, ranging from 100 yds. up to 215 yds. and other par 4's on the longer side.

The pro shop staff was friendly and helpful, as was the restaurant attendees. Overall, I consider it a great value for the money and would play here more often if I lived closer.
