The Legacy
About
The Legacy Golf Course is one of Robertson County's must-play courses. Opened in 1996, it is not as old as some other courses in the area but the designer, Raymond Floyd, took advantage of the existing mature woodlands spread throughout the lush, rolling hills. At 6,755 yards, the course is seemingly short but it is narrow, and be prepared to face troublesome hazards almost everywhere. It is notorious for making balls from even the most slightly errant shots disappear. It is a tough but fair challenge. The golf course starts with a tricky par 5 with a bunker on the right followed by a par 4 that requires a 200-yard carry or you'll surely be faced with trouble. The back nine at Legacy G.C. is slightly less difficult but there are still plenty of hazards as well as several blind shots.

Best bargain around Hendersonville
Course was challenging, fun, and great layout overall.
Weather really was the only reason for any decreased stars.
Don't miss this one!
Additional Fees
Booked hot deal on golf now, paid up front when place booking, upon arrival was asked to pay an additional 20+ dollars although booking confirmation showed “0.00 due at course”
Legacy
Nice course. Off the beaten path in the hills of Tennessee.
Disappointed
I am not disappointed in the course, although it was a little rough. What I am most disappointed in is I paid for a foursome which came out to about $70 apiece. One of the guys that was playing with us had an emergency that morning and had to take his wife to the hospital. We tried desperately to find somebody to fill the vacant spot. Unfortunately, we couldn’t and now I am out one of the greens fees because GolfNow will not refund that fee. In my opinion, there are extenuating circumstances that need exception and they are not customer centric enough to understand that.. Even the Golf Course said good luck trying to get a refund from GolfNow because it is virtually impossible to get one even if you fight it. So knowing this is the policy for GolfNow, going forward, I will never use their service again.
5-10-26
I am in town for a convention. Played as a single today. Had two foursomes ahead of me and still finished in a little over 3 hours. Course could be in better condition but it is a challenging and fun course to play. The greens are great and the layout is tight. I will play here again when I am back.
Not worth it
Fairways are lost on most holes. Cups cut by someone who has never worked on a golf course before. Tee boxes are hacked. For $90 you are better off hitting 2 doxen pro v1’s into a lake for fun
Tricky greens, solid track
Challenging putts, even from a few feet away. Rarely a flat putt. Solid shape for this time of year.
Decent Course with Some Issues
Overall, the course is a decent test of golf. I felt the staff and price were very good. The greens were pretty solid, but the fairways, tee boxes, and rough weren’t as nice. For an afternoon round playing by myself, I felt the pace was incredibly slow especially since it wasn’t foursomes in front of me. Mostly 2somes.
So sad
Played Legacy 30 times in the last three years. It's use to be a gem with quick undulating greens and a challenging layout from the back tees. But fellow golfers I'm sorry to report the course is a disaster this year ! After all the construction on the lake on 3 was finally done last season the word was the irrigation issues would've solved . Unfortunately the tees and fairways are rock hard and 30-60%dirt or dead grass that is not going to regrow . Our group broke 60 tees and a hand full more trying to get them in the ground somewhere close to the markers . Fairways are gross. If you don't want to roll your ball or pick it up and find a tuft of grass your screwed. Bunkers had a inch of loose sand on top of the firmest base I've seen, lots of bounce, an explosion shot was out of the question. Greens were ok but super hard , no ball marks all day but any down hill putt and there are many , rolled off the green if you didn't hit the hole! If that wasn't enough they have a new construction project between 11 and 18 clearing the trees and burning them in a huge bonfire just off the 18 fairway. Soon to be a new homes built so years of noise and non golf enhancements on the way! It's April and 80 degrees come summer it will be a dust bowl. We didnt see one employee on the course no watering no water buckets no ranger uggg.It breaks my heart but I won't be back!!
Excellent greens
Once again, The Legacy does not disappoint!!
Course is in very good shape for late Feb., even after a heavy rain the night before. Of course, the fairways are a bit thin due to dormant Bermuda.
The greens were in excellent shape, pretty receptive, very fast and rolled true. These are some of the best designed greens I’ve played, they’re huge and have several excellent pin location opportunities.
Oh I forgot, this is not a boring course! It has tons of elevation, extremely sloped greens, plenty of trouble, and sometimes an opportunity to make a hole-in-one. Sweet!!
Driving range, practice green(same as course with very similar undulations), pro shop, excellent grill w/bevs and a courteous staff.
It’s a must play, and a great money game course with your buddies.
Enjoy your round.
Rough Shape
Course right now is in rough shape. The greens are being kept up pretty well, but fairways and tee boxes are pretty bad, burned out and hardpan. I suppose the dry summer has something to do with it, but the course is showing other signs of management neglect, non-existent tee boxes, broken up cart paths, weeds. This was my first time playing, and unless management brings back conditions, it will be my last.
SRK
Staff super friendly, great layot, holes were fun with some doglegs some elevation, no 2 holes iwere alike,The tees could use some more water, some were rock hard like you really needed a hammer on some overall a very good experience PS you can lose balls here
Amazing
This place is amazing. The day that we played it had rained all morning however by our 1:30 tee time the course was immaculate. The course offers some unique holes with amazing views. The staff were all up best and friendly. Would highly recommend this course for anyone that’s looking for an exceptional round of golf.
hard summer
played here last on july 4th, course was awesome . summer heat and lack of rain has taken a toll. greens were quite soft and rolled well but rest of course was a rock. burnt out fairways, some tee boxes you couldn’t get a tee in the ground.
will be back but it will be awhile.
