The Legacy

The Legacy was an awesome course. It was very well kept, greens were in good shape, fairways were nice, nice hole designs, and many other great concepts. I truly would give it a 4.5 out of 5 if that was an option, but the only reason I didn’t give it a 5 was because it felt like all 18 holes had the same Green structure.. and what I mean by that is around the green there was huge mounds. The mounds were sometimes bunkers, sometimes empty bunkers, and sometimes hills. It added a level of difficulty and made the greens less forgiving. If you want a course to be as hard as possible then maybe this is good for you, but I felt like there could have been a few holes that didn’t have this concept.. like every single hole had it. Truly a great course for the value.

Been trying to knock most of the courses out in the Nashville area and this is a nice place! Thought it was a little overrated for what I’ve read but definitely a nice track.

Everything was in good condition for the time of year, pace of play was a little slow but is probably to be expected this time

of the year on as warm day on a Sunday afternoon.

Staff is friendly and the course was in great shape. Only issue was we caught a group that was unbelievably slow. It’s ok if you can play through, but by the 10th hole we had 2 groups on the tee box waiting and by the 12th hole 3 groups. Pace is normally good, but this was over the top.

Legacy always delivers. Still one of the best courses in middle-Tennessee for various reasons. Greens are always in great shape, bunkers are nice, course design is fun and challenging.

Pace of play is frequently an issue, however. The most consistent problem at Legacy is that they don't care to enforce tee times. There's no starter that dictates who goes out with whom and when. Yesterday I was literally told to "just go out whenever" and that the other people in my time slot had "probably gone off already". When a course isnt busy that might be ok, but once you run up on whomever is in front of you it becomes a log jam. If you're in a foursome you'll most likely have a single run up on to you. If you let that single play through, a group of two will be right behind you next. The pace of play issues would be drastically better if they would just consolidate individuals and groups of less than 4 and create as many foursomes as possible.

Lastly, the range is always an anarchaic war zone. Theres no ropes or any sort of guidelines, anyone just hits anywhere, so theres more divots than grass, and the range balls are some of the worst in the whole state. The course itself is fantastic, so its tolerable, but if they really wanted to up the class of the club in general, they would take better care of the range and invest in some decent range balls. Its like they get their range balls out of the water hazards.

But Legacy is always a great course. Couple tweaks here and there and it would be an elite public track in Middle Tennessee.

The windiest day I have ever played golf. Great track, great onsite amenities. Excellent golf venue, I will return.

I initially assumed this was just a real estate play of a golf course that would be fairly bland and riddled with houses. I was pleasantly surprised by several things. (1) Houses are visible on most holes but don't encroach on the golf course unnecessarily. (2) The greens have a lot of movement and constantly surprised us when we got up to each complex. (3) Varied layout asking different questions, varying the lengths of each hole considerably, decent amount of elevation change, etc. This is a hike from Nashville but pretty well worth it. If you find this course bland or boring I would be very interested to know where you are playing that significantly beats this place and has equally fair pricing.

Legacy was already a really nice experience. They have been doing so much to make the layout even cleaner and more satisfying. This time of year one would expect the greens to be in is going to conditions they were.

As someone who enjoys a nice/casual day of golf, there are plenty of course I have played around Nashville that allow you to play a better course for much less money. The beer selection is slim and overpriced for the quality. The food was good though. I don’t like that they don’t offer a 9 hole option either. This course was riddled with divots, on and around the greens. The course isn’t very difficult, and is surrounded by houses the entire time. The range is terribly laid out, doesn’t have listed yard markers. Personally will not return, and will do what I can to help my friends find better places to play. There’s no reason this should be ranked the #2 course in TN.

Beautiful course with challenging holes. Greens are in great shape for winter, prices are reasonable.
