The Ledges of St.George Makes Golf Digest's Prestigious "Best Of" List

St. George, UT (PRWEB) January 9, 2008 -- Golf Digest recently released their list of the best new golf courses in America and a Utah course made the list. The Ledges Golf Club of St. George was ranked #5 for best new public golf courses with green fees of $75 and above.

"We are thrilled about receiving this award. To be recognized by Golf Digest amongst so many new courses in the United States is astounding. This is an accolade to be shared by The Ledges as well as the state of Utah," said Colby Cowan, Director of Golf at the Ledges.

In November, The Ledges also received another award from Vegas Golfer -- the coveted Fairway Award for BEST OUTLYING COURSE.

The 7,200 yard championship course was designed by Matt Dye against a grand backdrop of Snow Canyon State Park. The course is both innovative and challenging and the rugged, red rock terrain surrounding the course has gained it a reputation of being one of the most stunning settings for golf in the world.

Also on site at The Ledges is the new Jack Nicklaus Academy of Golf. This one-of-a-kind learning facility melds technology and expert instruction. "There really isn't any place like this in the world," according to Mike Malaska, World-Wide Director of Golf for the Nicklaus Academies.

The Ledges of St. George is a premier golf and residential community that embodies luxury and leisure amenities for the entire family.
