Course Highlights
Legacy's rolling layout and challenging back nine around the main lake consistently earn high praise from recent golfers. Exceptionally friendly staff and strong value for money make this a compelling destination as ongoing renovations near completion.

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.

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.

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.
