A wet legacy

Rain for the first nine. Fairway and greens did not seem to be affected much.

Only thing I suggest the club do is place towels in the carts on days like this. For the premium fees that would have been a big help.

Great day of golf

Played this course after being beaten up by the Donald Ross courses. Nice to have receptive greens and friendlier bounces around the greens.

Enjoyed the layout and conditions were excellent. Seems like they are putting money into the course and facilities and it is paying off.

Round at Legacy

Played the course yesterday with my wife. It was my first time back since I played shortly after it opened in 1991! I still love the layout. Ok, now some of the negatives. For the price to play (over $300 for 2) we were disappointed in the practice area conditions, lack of towels/water on the cart, no toilets/restrooms on the course but there are port o potties!, and the food service being out of many basic items. Still a lovely experience but price is a bit high for what is delivered….I think some attention to detail would serve this price/value ratio well….cheers

Great course!

Wonderful layout and well maintained! Love this course, but it has gotten pricey. It is now a splurge and not a course we can play multiple times.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Almost there

Very good course and nicely redone clubhouse. Practice facility awful and attention to detail on the course was not the best. No water coolers and where there were coolers, no cups. Ball washers old and some were dry and the towels need replacing. Good staff, but this facility is a far step from Talamore.

Huge Improvement

It has been a few years since I played this course. It is under new ownership and the improvements are immediately noticeable. The newly paved parking lot and cart paths, nice carts, new clubhouse are all a bonus. The course conditions and layout are great. The pace of play was outstanding. 3.5 hours! The staff was friendly and accommodating. This was a very enjoyable day!

Enjoyed playing this course so much that our son is considering purchasing a home on the course! Got paired up with another father and son and had a great round. Had to stay cart path only as the area had considerable rain the previous days. Great course!

Pace of play

Luv the layout and water holes but pace of play was maddening. Know it was a warm Sunday but tee time was 1:20, started at 1:30, at the turn it was almost 4. On 10 the tee box was three groups deep. Adding a few minutes to tee spacing would really help.

Spray painted goat ranch

$60 a round for this track is absurd. Not in good shape. Greens are ok, but everything is neon green and beat to dirt.

Great day in the Sandhills

The course was in great shape for wintertime golf. Fairways were nice and the greens were smooth and true. Not much grain in them at all. Bunkers were well maintained and had been groomed that morning? Weather was superb and the camaraderie was even better! I would recommend the Legacy to anyone who enjoys good courses!
