Legacy Golf Links is one of the premier public golf facilities in the Pinehurst area - the course successfully blends the accessability of a public course with the amenities of a private golf club.

Legacy was ranked as one of the top 12 new public courses in the United States and is described as a "perfect delight" by Golf Digest Magazine. Maintenance is a prime consideration of the management and the facility definitely reflects this emphasis. Give this course a try the next time you come to Pinehurst; you'll not regret it.

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.
