Legacy's rolling layout and challenging back nine around the main lake consistently earn high praise from recent golfers. Exceptionally friendly staff and strong value for money make this a compelling destination as ongoing renovations near completion.

We got screwed!

Showed up 40 minutes early and were told “Cart path only due to fertilization of fairways.” We couldn’t handle cart path only and the clerk sent us to play Foxfire. Golfnow.com and/or the Lagacy folks charged us as a “no show”!

Now I have to spend an hour trying to get a refund from Golfnow or Legacy!!!! We are really upset!!!

Good layout... Course was not in good shape.

Dad, Grandfather and sons trip to North Carolina was basically ruined by a bad day at this course. The weather was cold and it was windy, but that wasn't the worst part. We got to hole 12 and had to go in because we were already at 3 hours and 35 minutes with 7 holes to play. We had to begin our drive back to Ohio. We won't be back.

AMAZING COURSE LAYOUT WITH SOME DIFFICULTY AND GREAT CONDITIONS!

This course is amazing to play and is harder than your average golf course. The greens are flawless, although speedy, fun to play and this stays very consistent throughout all 18 holes. Whether you're a beginner or advanced player, it's fun to play (plus some good picture spots in the back nine). The fairways and teeboxes are pretty good although some tiny bare spots and dead grass. Personally, I would say that it could use some improvement because of bare spots and stuff but also in certain areas it is a bit difficult to chip and is easy to dig since the soil is like sand and stuff. Lots of water, great staff, and that's probably about it. Yeah. So great course layout and conditions though fairways could use some work. BTW balls were pretty expensive (not range balls)

Enjoyable Course

We really enjoyed our round at Legacy Golf Links. The greens were in great shape and wicked fast when we played. The pace was great with absolutely no waiting throughout our round. Will definitely play again!

Great conditions and awesome pace of play

I had just finished playing Pinehurst #2 and Pine Needles so this felt like a reprieve of sorts from the turtle back greens yet still challenging. Greens in great shape as was course overall. Can’t beat the price. The pace of play was outstanding this day 4 hrs 15 minutes
