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.

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.

Greens are outstanding

I really enjoyed playing Legacy. The course was challenging, but fair. I played from the white tees (6000 yards). The greens were outstanding. Some of the tee boxes were poor. I will definitely play it again.

Great layout: compromised amenities and conditions

The course started out fairly tame on the way out, but becomes more challenging on the back 9. I would rate this course 4 stars, but it definitely gets a -1 for the lack of course amenities (two port-a-potties shared between two holes. The other -1 is due to unexpected ‘grounds under repair’ on almost every hole. There was a big problem with pacing adding an entire hour to our play time. The problem was about being bought out by Tallamore and scheduling snafoos. I would play again, but without amenities and improvements on the grounds, not at that price.

Never Again. 6 Hour Round

6 hour golf round on a weekday. Course has a solid layout and greens were fantastic. But there's no excuse for a modern golf course to allow pace of play at 6 hours. Interestingly, the posted pace of play they list in the golf carts is 4:15. We saw rangers, but they did nothing. Won't play here again. All the other players we talked to said the same thing.

Fun Round with Cool Layout

Overall great experience even in the rain. Staff was extremely friendly and felt like we were the only ones out there. Back nine was spectacular and the greens were pure. Fairways were solid but bunkers could use some tidying up. Would definitely come back for another round in some nicer weather!!

Was wet but very nice course. For what courses are charging these days if you can get a hot deal for 50$ or less here you can’t beat the value.

Course is struggling with the weather conditions

Always a very nice layout, however, the course is not in its best shape with the extreme heat and weather conditions they are having. They are having to throw a lot of water to the course and the fairways were soaking wet and mushy on a very dry and hot day. The greens were aerated 2 weeks ago and have been sanded and were still quite slow annd bumpy. Also, the cart paths are continuing to deteriorate and need major repair. Still a great course, just needs some extra care and hopefully more favorable weather conditions for the course..

Good track in the sanhills

With the behemoths in the area it’s hard to find courses that are enjoyable but don’t cost as much as a car payment to play. Legacy is certainly a solid course that you’ll get your moneys worth on. Course was in great condition and the greens were fast firm but fair.

There are some great risk vs reward holes and some distance control holes that will have you pulling a mid iron off the tee to set up challenging approach shots.

The course plays well through the natural landscape of the area. This is a course that plays through a neighborhood, but i never felt like i was at risk of blowing a drive into a multimillion dollar home’s kitchen.

This might not make the must play list for an NC golf trip from your favorite YouTuber or Instagram account; however, i argue it should be. It’s a sleeper for the area and a must play of your in the Sandhills.
