Needs work

Irrigation system is down. Understand a wall fell in the pump house. Greens are in terrible condition. Wouldn;t recommend playing until improvements are made.

Disappointing

It’s rare to see a course in this shape in June in NE Ohio.I am sure the super and his team did what they could do. I don’t know all the circumstances but there is no reason collars , tees, greens should be toast already.. Bunkers look like war fox holes.

Rough was let go and cut with bush hog .

The 19th hole & Lydia was only saving grace for LL. She will be a star whatever she does .

We had many course options to play at rates less than the $48 senior rate !!

I will only return to walk around in fall to see if the damage recovers. Call in for help board active members and get this guy help and capitol to renovate.

And lower you price to $22-25 that’s what it plays like now.

Disappointing !

Not right now

Played this course in the past and it was very nice. Couldn't believe how bad it is right now. Tee boxes and especially the greens were terrible. Employee said the irrigation system wasn't working and it showed. Like the course but will call there to check conditions before going back.

Nice Staff, Poor Confitions

Came to play on 6/21. Greens are burnt out and most bunkers are in poor shape or ground under repair. Staff and amenities are good but course is in poor shape.

Course needs a lot of work. Unfortunately short staffed but doing the best they can. Nice track. I was a member in the late eighties. Noticed change of front and back nines. Also, wondering why the change of the "old" seventeen now seven?

I would recommend the course to a friend only with caution.

Best of luck getting the course back to it's original condition.

Cause condition

It’s not the management’s fault that the course is in such bad shape as the pump house wall collapsed but it should have been stated prior to play and offered a discount or rain check

Investors vs Owners

It has been years since I played Legend Lakes and I was disappointed with some of the conditions. It was Memorial weekend and the bunkers were not groomed yet this year, they had weeds and grass growing in them. The greens were fast and hard with the holes being slightly elevated from being too dry. Dusty cart paths with recycled aggregate but with the dry ground you can pretty much cart anywhere. The employees were friendly and nice.

Needs alot of upkeep

Rough extremely high, grass clipping left everywhere.

Staff was kind. Not many refreshments; pace of play was ok. Fairways ok but patchy at times and very narrow. Seems like it was a nice place before and hopefully someone restores it back to it's former glory.

I could see that there are improvements on the horizon and this course could be back to roaring shape soon. Rough was way too long. Should not lose balls in the rough. I will be back and cant wait to see the improvements. The greens were the best .

Work in progress

Nice layout, friendly staff but the course is going through a major make over so in its current condition makes the pace really slow because your spending alot of time looking for your ball in the 4 to 5 inch rough. The bunkers have grass growing in them making them unplayable and taking the challenge out of the course, so I wouldn't recommend playing it right now.

I was told the plan is to cut the rough down to 2 inches, and they are Purposely allowing grass to grow in some of the bunkers to actually make them permanent grass bunkers.

New carts are great, and they are currently working hard to improve their course layout. Can't wait to play it again when all the work is complete.

Second time playing this course this year and it's not gotten any better. The rough is awful. 3 to 4 inches deep and if you are off the fairway, you have a real hard time finding your ball. Definitely needs some TLD. besides the rough being so deep, the traps are in awful condition. Wil not be back until I see a review that says the rough has been cut down and they have done something with the sand traps.

Course conditions

Course is a lot of fun to play.. pace of play is always good needs TLC… but

Course looks a lot better than how it did last year.. and Course just got a new superintendent at the start of the year.. was told he is working on course conditions this year with an few other big/smaller projects to start the season so we have to give him some time!! Looking forward to seeing the progress of this course by the end of the year..

Needs some TLC

The course had a nice layout. The maintenance on the course was mixed. The fairways were in great shape. Greens were a mixed bag. A few rough shape greens and some nice greens. The lake of Legend Lake was empty and an eye sore. The sand traps were not maintained. All of them had grass and weeds in them and no racks. The areas outside the greens and fairways were not cut and were beyond US Open height. Balls a few feet off fairway were impossible to find. Another sign of a lake of diligence or manpower from the greenskeepers. Overall a nice layout overshadowed by poor maintenance.

Hadn't played this course in a teally long time. Layout was fine but the course could use some TLC. The rough was really long and it was hardcto find your ball if you were off the fairway a little. Greens were good but some needed some patchinf. The sand traps were in terrible condition though and really needed to be either weeded or let go.

Needs some TLC

Outside of the bunkers and rough being wildly overgrown, I truly enjoyed the course. I love the lay out and the challenges the course can throw at you. It needs some work on the bunkers for certain and the rough was brutally overgrown, but still worth the price of admission. Just know going in that this isn't the Private club it was in the past and the conditions reflect that, but enjoy the course for what it is and enjoy the day.
