Great course in excellent condition

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.

Great Course

I live in Myrtle Beach and play 4 times a week at many different courses. This course is wonderful. It was in great shape, the greens rolled true, and the fairways were great. Definitely worth the money. I played Pinehurst the day before, and it was on par with nu.ber 5. I enjoyed the layout, for it was scenic and presented good risk vs. reward challenges. I will be back.

Great course, great hospitality

Played Legacy for the first time, what a great course with wonderful views.

Tee’d off just before 8.00 am, 3ball, got round in 3hours 20 mins.

Great hospitality in pro shop & bar with very reasonably priced merchandise. Will definitely be back, and would highly recommend.

Courteous upon arrival with bag staff and pro shop. Pace of play was great on the front nine. Ran into a foursome on #9 that never offered for us to play through even though there was a significant gap between them and the group in front of them. Made for delays on every hole. Great course though so we just enjoyed it.

Us kids golf practice rounds were being played. We did not play because it would have taken 5 or 6 hours to play the round. Golf now should do the right thing and reimburse all fees. Otherwise, I'm out $140.00.

Aerating

I came here expecting it. Honestly wasn’t too bad. Grill staff messed up my order twice. But over all it was a decent day of golf. I wish people openly advertised the whole aerating thing. Staff was cool about it all.
