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.

Solid Course layout

Needs some work on traps, cart paths and fringes but greens were in very good condition. The front nine is nice but somewhat plain while the back nine is much better with with water in play on many holes. Some really nice holes on the back nine. I would definitely play it again.

Legacy

This was the 3rd time that I have played this course and without exception, everyone at the course could not have been more helpful and kind. The other item that really stands out is the cleanliness of the facility. The course is in great shape for sure.

Legacy in great shape. Course was pretty empty due to virus. They let our three players take separate carts.

Awesome course

This was my first time playing this course. I was able to find it on Golfnow for $32 a person which in my opinion is a steal to play in the Aberdeen/SP area for that price. The course was beautiful and had many challenges throughout. The only issue I had was a group of 4 in front of me and the other guy I was playing with. They were slow, pretty much having to wait to hit every shot and they knew we were behind them because we would be waiting at the tee box for them to tee off just so we could drive up to the tee. Other than that I loved the course. I’ll definitely be coming back to play again!

Legacy Golf Club with first time player at this course.

Course was in great condition. Greens were fantastic and rolled so smooth. I’ve played this course numerous times and this is the best the greens have ever been, especially for late November. Pace of play as a twosome was great. Finished in three and a half hours.

My nephew played it for first time and was extremely satisfied with his round. He couldn’t get over how awesome the greens were. Playing most of his golf in central PA left him with the thought of I’ve got to come back here.

All my friends will get the word based on these conditions.

Great layout with plenty of challenges

Awesome staff especially Gordon and Buzz. The course may not be in the condition of its heyday but still very playable with good turf management and really good greens. Bring your game as several holes will test your skills. 18 is a beast of a hole and can turn a good round into one you may wish to forget. I would be remiss to forget our cart girl who restocked our favorite beverage and came back to take care of us. Just wish I remembered her name. I'll just call her Legacy. She upholds the course namesake.
