Grumpy Locals (Members?) Display Bad Etiquette
There was no starter or ranger on duty. We played as a twosome. We had 2 twosomes directly in front of us and a foursome of local guys in front of them. We were followed by a foursome. The first twosome was so slow that we had a two group backup on the 9th tee. As we were leaving the 9th green the GOM foursome cut in front of us just before we reached the 10th tee when the group behind us was on #9 green. The GOMsome claimed they had to stop at 9 because the twosome behind them kept hitting into them. This was implausible on its face. Incredibly one of the GOMsome shamelessly took a mulligan on the 10th tee when his first drive remained in play. When we saw that we thought maybe their mulligans were the reason the twosome might have been hitting into them. We followed them as they played a leisurely back 9 as they parked their carts near the greens while ignoring the cart signs. On the 17th hole we watched them leisurely fish for balls in the pond in front of the green. The twosome that was in front of us on the front nine probably finished 25-30 minutes ahead of the GOMsome. We thought if the GOMsome had been nice they would have let us play through. No such luck. We told the pro shop staffer. He was profusely sorry and made a peace offering that we accepted.
Excellent course in very good condition. Fast greens. Tree lined holes, accuracy off the tee is required. Will play this course again.
Frosty tee delay
Very friendly accommodating staff .. very eager to get us out on the course even though we had an hour tee time delay due to frost. Pace of play was great with no one behind us til the end and only once did we have to wait on the tee box. This is one of my favorite courses to play.
Greens
Greens were pure. It’s a fun course that could be better, but the staff and greens made it a must play.
Nice course, rough road
Course was great, but not sure it was worth $99. Road leading into the clubhouse could be better, even if it is under construction. Bar staff was friendly and nice, as well as the pro shop, starter, and rangers. All in all a great round of golf. Maybe it was worth the $$. 😋
Great layout. Greens very good. Overall great value.
Jack knows
Visiting family from Texas and I wanted to try a reasonably priced golf course. What a find! The staff was friendly and very helpful, the Starter explained what to look for on the course and had a great sense of humor. Greens are a lot faster than what I’m used to hat my home course. The pine trees and green fairways give a wonderful setting for some challenging yet playable. Jack Nicklaus designed the course and he knows how to build them. Thanks for letting me enjoy your course.
Great value
Course is in pretty good shape considering how hot it has been. Greens were fast and spinny shots would come come back. Fun course at a great value.
Greens are great right now@!!!
Viva the Legacy!!! Always a fun layout & the greens this week are better than anywhere else in the Sandhills! Love playing at the Leg- Sean the GM & Paige the bartender are always great to hangout with at the new/bar & grill!
Very fair course
Played here many time, great staff, the course is very fair to the average golfer. Enjoy the green for they roll very nice.
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.
