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.

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.

Dissapointment

Our group has been going to NC from NJ for 31 years and have played the Legacy at least once a year ( this year we booked 2 rounds). The course was in horrible condition, there was hardly any grass on the tee boxes, just like the fairways, The greens were fine. We had 14 guys on Sunday April 28th at 10:30 and they said they were out of golf balls for the driving range, It's 10:30 in the morning, how can you be out of driving range balls?. the pin placements were the same on Friday as they were Sunday and the cart guy said that the grounds crew came in hungover and late.

We are going to NC next year, as we always do but will NOT go back to the Legacy that is for sure. Overpriced for the condition of the course.

Course is below average. Greens are the only good part.

Guys, this course is in a very bad shape. There is a lot of flood damage all over. Fairways are not like what you would expect in this area. I would say the fairways are below average. Most of the greens are in very good shape. Ball rolls nicely. Par 3s are all a good challenge. Par 3s were excellent actually. Cart path was washed away in many places and is outright dangerous in some places. Staff is very courteous and friendly. The parking lot is also under construction and it was a pain to park. Overall, it is a below average course.
