Nice layout

Interesting course. Some of the tees were under renovation but still playable . Par 3 played similar which were a little boring. Overall solid course. Will try to be back in the fall to see changes and play it again. Definite play if you are in the area.

Course under repair yet excellent!

This is a great course and will be better when they are finished with the improvements. We are both regular golfers with 11 handicaps and really enjoyed the course. The fairways were solid, the water challenging, and the greens ran fine.

Great Potential

Our experience at Legacy was mixed. First, there was no club drop off due to construction of the new clubhouse, just trailers, the flow in the parking was a mess with cars going the wrong way and carts blocking parking. Little or no direction from staff. There was no water on the course and it was 85 degree day. There wasn't a refreshment cart on the course. We found out after the round there were ice machines but no one instructed us if there location behind the temporary pro shop trailer.

Now to the good. The course is a beautiful rolling property, with plenty of challenge especially the back nine around the main lake. Par 3's were excellent. The greens are new so the didn't hold particularly well but putted beautifully around 10 on the stimp. The last few holes are being redesigned/reworked but the construction didn't affect the holes and they routed you around the work being done. This course in a year or so will be a must play in the Pinehurst/Aberdeen area. They are doing a lot to improve the course and once the new clubhouse is constructed it will improve the immensities and overall golf experience. Right now it is an excellent value as I am confident green fees will nearly double once all construction is completed. Despite our mixed experience I would recommend this course.

Favorite Course

I just love this course due to the layout and try to play every time I am in the area. The greens were in great shape, but some tee boxes and fairways need some work and you can tell they are on top of it! I will be back. Staff was very friendly.
