Must Play

Legacy Links is a must play if in the Pinehurst/Southern Pines area. The layout is great and one, it not the best rolling greens in the area. A great value for the conditions and greens.

Fun,Fair,& Challenging

Course is in fantastic shape , the greens were lightening quick. Well maintained, scenic Landscape. Everything is in front of you, not tricked up. The lay out is simple but each hole is unique. An absolute gem and short drive from Pinehurst.. Play it once and you will return often.

Beautiful course!

Lush fairways and firm, true greens. Nice layout with several blind shots and long natural sand areas make for quite a challenge. Played with member named Chris and his son Jeff who were very helpful with their knowledge of the course and fun to spend the round with!

Solid course and very good conditions

Legacy has a very good and fun layout. The course conditions were also very good, the greens were in excellent shape (several other courses in the area are aerating in late August). The staff was courteous and friendly. The only downside was pace of play; when we reached the par 3 11th hole, we were the fourth group on the hole. A ranger was around but we ended up waiting on every shot thereafter on the back nine. The long wait stopped all the momentum in our round. Using a GolfNow Hot Deal, we caught a bargain rate for a very good course.

Bucket List

This was my first time playing a round of golf in the Pinehurst/Southern Pines area. In playing this course, it has set a good example of what a good course is like in that area. The staff were polite and answered all my questions and the course had a very good layout. The fairways were nice and the greens tested me when putting. I am already looking at booking another time to play the course. I would recommend this course to others that want to play a good course and be tested.

Great layout

Course always fun to play. If you stay out of trouble you can score. Greens are usually perfect. Had been punched 10 days earlier but still great. One of tougher 18 holes in golf due to length and pond in front of green. Played by myself. 1st tee time out. Played 18 holes in 2hrs 30min. Guess this is what retirement is supposed to be like.

Best Value In The Are

Legacy is in my top 3 courses to play in the Sandhills of North Carolina. The experience you get for the money is by far the best value I have found within the Aberdeen/Pinehurst/Southern Pines area. The greens are in amazing shape right now. Your approach shots will hold and your putts will roll true and smooth. Fairways and rough are in good shape and have no real issues. Only course condition issues I noticed were on more than a handful of the tee boxes where the grass is thin and the boxes are rock hard. Legacy has made some small changes since the last time I reviewed this by shrinking a few of the bunkers on the course. Not an issue just something I noticed. The sand in the bunkers is some of the best I have played lately. The staff here is amazing and they will do more than you expect while on the property. There is a full practice area with grass range, good size bunker and chipping area and two large size practice greens. The layout here is phenomenal with the use of the natural landscape and water. You will find some shorter par 5's that are challenging because of the greens. The par 3's here are a great collection of shorter holes all with some kind of hazard to avoid. Great mix of par 4's that force you to hit to a certain spot off the tee to get the proper approach to the green. The 18th hole is my favorite finishing hole in the area. The approach is almost all carry over water. The food is very reasonably priced and tasty. Treat yourself while golfing in this area and play Legacy. In my humble opinion you will not regret it.

Great Deal

Was in great shape from tee to green and is a fun layout with short, medium and long holes in a beautiful setting. Being from this area I could have played lots of places but chose to play Legacy because it's consistently a great value for the money.
