Seekonk, Massachusetts
Ledgemont Country Club offers one of Alfred Tull’s most natural, flowing routings, set in the heart of New England’s parkland tradition. With generous greens and a championship-caliber layout, it rewards precision and strategic play for members and their guests. While not a national destination, it’s a respected stage for strong amateur events and a local favorite.
After your round, ask a member about the club’s unique relocation story—most longtime members can share details you won’t find in the official history.
Ledgemont Country Club is a prime example of postwar parkland design by Alfred Tull, blending gentle terrain with generously sized greens and a flowing routing that fits the natural contours of New England woodland. Tull’s course challenges modern players with striking variety in par 3s—from long-iron bruisers to angled one-shotters—while par 4s range from gettable to brute, each demanding thoughtful placement and club selection. Bunkers and approach angles often determine scoring more than pure length, rewarding players who keep the ball in ideal spots off the tee and into the greens.
Alfred Tull’s trademark is evident: large greens, flowing movement over the land, and a challenge that remains fair to members and low-handicappers alike.
At 222 yards from the Blue tees, this is a muscular par 3 where choosing the right club is as important as executing the shot. Missing left or right brings tough recoveries into play, and the green’s size gives little respite if you’re on the wrong tier.
Favor center-green with sufficient club; do not short-side yourself, and take your medicine if you miss.
Left and right misses bring sand and tough up-and-downs, while the distance alone punishes thin strikes.
Well-kept bentgrass fairways and maintained greens with subtle undulations and playable firmness.
Traditional private club atmosphere with a strong local membership and a focus on classic play.
Bring confidence on Ledgemont’s trio of 200+ yard par 3s—they demand precision and nerve.

Tull’s big greens can deceive—study contours closely to avoid three-putts.
