Honoring the wishes of Lela and Charles Hilton, Legacy Golf Club is named in honor of their beloved son "Chip." He started playing daily at age 9 with a genuine love and excitement for the sport. He was on the Bay High School golf team, apprenticing with golf pro-Kenny Lind and made golf his vocation. As a professional golf instructor, he taught his students invaluable life lessons, emphasizing that golf is not a game of perfection but a comeback. He also believed golf was more than just a game; it was full of essential life skills such as patience, perseverance, determination, and overcoming obstacles and setbacks.

The golf club, established in 1965, is a championship course with challenging greens designed to test golfers with even the sharpest short-game skills. The fairways are generously sized with lakes and white sand bunkers that fiercely guard the elevated greens. Players should be prepared to use every club in their bag. The golf course is challenging but fair and enjoyable, making it a good test of skill without inciting frustration. Its playability, enhanced with three sets of tees, has made it one of Florida's most popular tracks. Legacy Golf Club also boasts extensive practice facilities, including a lighted driving range, chipping green, expansive putting green, Executive Course, and Bar and Grille.

Price

For over half the greens were ate up with fungus. The rate of 130 was about half of what it was worth. Nice lay out but greens were not worth price.

Greens a little better than prior reviews

Overall we enjoyed our round. The greens still need a little TLC on the front 9, but they improved on the back. Rest of the course was in great shape. Some challenging holes but not very hard overall. Friendly staff and smooth pace of play.

Ok Course but not for the price!

The course was ok but not for the price. At that price I would have expected a much better course. Greens were generally in bad shape including a temporary green in the fairway of hole 1. To their credit the pro shop staff told us the greens were rough as we were walking out the door to play. Would have been nice to discount it.

No cart person on the course and even though they had a couple of water coolers on the course there were no cups available.

Overall, I would not recommend the course for the price and we most likely will not play again unless there is a steep discount.

The course needs help

Very disappointed in the green conditions along with the price. Arrived at the course and as I was paying they tell me we have a couple greens that are in bad shape. Then they proceed to charge us full price. Go over to the driving range and the gentleman tells me that home #1 has a temporary green. Once on the course I believe about 2 greens were in decent shape. The course set up is great but the greens are terrible. Price does not fit the green conditions. To much money for this course at this time.

Over priced for the condition of the greens. Course has a lot of potential but seems to need someone managing it.

Greens poor

I will start with this , greens are very poor and for the money I paid to play it wasn’t up to par . Maybe 75 bucks would be more like it . Also the course is very long make sure you play the right tees . Overpriced at the moment please fix the greens , it’s not worth the 125 I was charged .

Greens

Greens were terrible and we were not notified upon arrival. Starter told us hole 1 had a false green, and that the rest of the course looked great, it indeed did not. The greens had bald spots, sand, patches, and holes all over them, you would have a better chance chipping rather than putting. I wouldn’t leave this review however, the course has a long way to go before I’d pay these prices here ever again. $25 course at best due to the greens.

This course is TERRIBLE

The greens were in terrible condition. Practically impossible to putt on. Fairways were dry and short grass of unknown origin

Peeps Golf

Always a nice place to play on vacation with lifelong buds on an annual gathering. Panama City Beach has fewer courses than at times from the past but usually this is best place to play. There were many challenges this day due to some, necessary I'm sure, green maintenance which left normally perfect greens impossible with heavy sanding and repair work. We will be back next year! Hopefully to the great course we've grown accustomed to each year! Staff there is as always first class!

Fair but rough

Loved the course layout but the greens I would expect to be in way better condition, mind you I don’t know if they’ve been working on the or what but while playing today they were pretty patchy and bouncing for the most part, only sank about 5 puts all day

Save your money

This is by far the worst golf course i have ever played in my life, it’s understaffed and under managed. You have to finish every hole once you get on the green (if you want to even call it a green) because you simply cannot putt on it. SAVE YOUR MONEY

Abysmal Greens

We got there, went in to pay, and the very friendly attendant said “there’s a discount today because we just punched the greens”. Sucks but it happens. Understandable. Carried on to the practice range, where we quickly learned they only allow you to hit irons because the range is short, and the highway is nearby. Ugh, but whatever, we’ll make do. We tee off after trying our best to make small talk with the highly unsocial starters. Yes. Two of them. Sitting together in a single cart. Any way, we go off, we get to the first green and punching was NOT the problem. It was nothing but a few weeds on top of some sandy dirt. We thought “well maybe it’s just a green they are working on”, and continued to play on. Nope. They got progressively worse. In fact, they are the worst greens I’ve ever played on, and I’m poor. I’ve played some absolute goat pastures. I cannot remember worse greens than these. We powered through, had a blast anyway, and enjoyed our day. The course layout is really fun. Some challenging holes, some wide open holes. A little water here and there. I bought a hat in the pro shop to commemorate the most disgusting greens on planet earth.
