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.

Great Course

Very nice course. They had 2 inches of rain the day before so with cart path only the pace of play was pretty slow. Also because of the rain the course played long. But this is a great course and good value. We will play again.

We had a threesome and iat the first green, an 80 year old woman pulled up and asked if she could join us. Well, she was obnoxious ad ruined an otherwise great day.

Course in great shape, enjoyable in spite of cold wind!

We enjoyed the course but the round took 5 hours. Group in front was slow, slow! Never saw a ranger. Still like the course and conditions were excellent both fairways and greens. Greens very challenging. Will return and hope round is faster.

A Pleasure to Play Here

This was the third time I've played Legacy and I intend to play it often while we're in Pinehurst and I'd freely recommend it to anyone. The white tees were very fair in distance and fairway width. The blue tees really test you, especially on the challenging par 3's. The staff are very friendly. The only thing that might surprise you is the quickness of the greens. They don't look thin or particularly fast. They easily hold a high approach shot - many of mine rolled only a couple of inches, but they putt very fast and true.

Lovely greens

I brought my Scottish friends to visit and they quite enjoyed the course. Their home courses are in St. Andrews so that compliment goes a long way. They were also impressed by the multiple tee box options.

Legacy Links -Great value and overall good shape

Legacy is a great value. Course was in excellent shape except for tee boxes on 3 holes that they are replacing. Other than those tee box issue, the course would be 5 stars. Staff extremely helpful and pace of play was great.

Maybe going in bankruptcy

Conditions have deteriorated to beneath muni category. Fairways are spotty at best. Bunkers have weeds growing in them and not maintained. Greens were hideous. Tee boxes were the best part of the course. Staff was indifferent and just going thru the motions. Pace of play was good because no one was playing Used to be a nice alternative to the Pinehurst course. STAY AWAY!

Needs a new groundskeeper

This course is in terrible shape and nowhere near a $90 round type of course. Way better options within 10 miles. I’m very disappointed in the maintenance of this course. Greens are shameful and burnt out, covered in sand and like putting on old school sand greens. Played this course many times but recently played a twilight round and had to deal with random homeowner/trespassers popping up all over the course during our last tee time round.
