Legendary Legacy

Legacy Golf Links is ALWAYS a treat. Course is going through some changes but it is always spot on. Quite a challenge. Quick greens, value is always fair, and the practice facilities are great. Learned how to play the game here, it will always be great!

Lovin’ this place! We barely got out of the car to be greeted by a gentleman delivering our cart and offering to help with our clubs. The entire staff is outstanding: friendly and helpful. The course is a wonderful Nicklaus design that holds your interest throughout the round. Portions of the fairways were dry which is fully acceptable since we have had rain around here in weeks and temps in the 90’s. The greens had been recently dressed and were very fast. I fully expect the greens to be perfect next time I visit. Did I mention we really need rain?!?

Very interesting layout - every hole feels different/unique. Greens roll really well despite having been recently aerated. Greens soft enough to hold a long iron shot. Tees and fairways in good shape. A couple of greenside traps could use more depth of sand but most are fair and playable. We had no pace of play issues. Staff is very friendly and accommodated our being a little late. Good service in the bar after playing.

Good layout

Its a nice course with a good layout. Played it a number of times and pace of play is a real issue. We waited on every shot but it wasn't just one slow group in front of us, it was jammed. We drove up to many tee boxes with a group still on it.

Legacy a worthy sand hills course

Play here when you are in the area. First nine fairly classic Pinehurst holes. Back nine adds some elevation change and water hazards which makes the course well worth the visit.

Nobody there on the cool April day with rain threatening. Played in 3.3 hrs. Greens were in exceptional shape for this time of year.

Pace of play

The course was in good shape, they didn’t overseed anything this year unfortunately. Conditions were overall good.

Pace of play was ridiculous, took 5 hrs 45 mins.

Great value

The greens were excellent. The course drains very well. Courses in this area are built on sand and always a good choice after heavy rains. Some construction in progress but will not effect any play.

Slow play

I always enjoy this course conditions and layout. Every time I play here it is stacked up and I end up waiting every hole. They need to space players out more..
