The Legacy
About
The Legacy Golf Course is one of Robertson County's must-play courses. Opened in 1996, it is not as old as some other courses in the area but the designer, Raymond Floyd, took advantage of the existing mature woodlands spread throughout the lush, rolling hills. At 6,755 yards, the course is seemingly short but it is narrow, and be prepared to face troublesome hazards almost everywhere. It is notorious for making balls from even the most slightly errant shots disappear. It is a tough but fair challenge. The golf course starts with a tricky par 5 with a bunker on the right followed by a par 4 that requires a 200-yard carry or you'll surely be faced with trouble. The back nine at Legacy G.C. is slightly less difficult but there are still plenty of hazards as well as several blind shots.

Great value
Loved the course. It was a great package value. Had no one behind me
Hi, thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing The Legacy Golf Course.
First Time
It was a good course. Course was in decent shape. Confusing on where to go at times. There needs to be a marshal to control pace of play. Don’t think it was worth the $75 for 2 people. Fairways were not great. Might try this course again but don’t know. Live near The Hermitage so I would pay the money and less drive than to drive to The Legacy
Thank you for sharing your experience! We appreciate your feedback on including marshals and signage and we will use it to improve. It is great to hear you enjoyed the conditions though. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Emerald Lake Golf Club.

Great layout
I’ve played this course 8-10 times and enjoy it each and every time. It seems to always be taken care of and the staff is great. Would recommend to play if you’re in the area.

Very good potential
First time playing. It’s was March. Greens were air rated and grass had not woken up yet. Think country club. Once construction is completed and summer is here I will be back.
Hello Matt, We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great layout
I played 3/31 and really enjoyed this course. There’s some construction going on right now but only affected a couple holes. Overall this is a good design with some challenging holes from the back tees. I’m a 1 handicap so I need some challenging holes and this course has a few. I definitely recommend it!

Well maintained course
There were a couple of holes having construction going on so they played shorter. The greens had been punched recently but they rolled well. The sand traps were in great condition (well maintained). Enjoyed the day

a great course
a great golf course was wet the day we played which made for a long round over 5 hours the city was doing some construction around the course which messed up several cart path had to go around they need to put up some signs to tell where to enter and exit around the construction the golf pro called and told me they had construction going on before we played there was very considerate of them i appreciated that still was a fun round a great place to play
Hello, Yes, we are currently under construction. But we're glad you had a great pace of play and had fun. Thank you for leaving us a 4-star rating.
Great Course
This is a great course. This is the best winter course I have played all season. Its a challenging course with fun par threes.
Hi Myles, Thank you for leaving us an awesome 5-star rating. We glad you took on a challenge. Please come back again soon.
Challenging Layout, Great Price.
If you’re in the Nashville area, it’s a bit of a drive up to Legacy. However, you’ll be rewarded with a terrific layout, and one that costs a fraction of a normal round. City is currently building new sewage drains straight through the course, and construction is present on 4-5 golf holes. The 9th hole is the only hole that is truly erected, as they had to move Tee Boxes up to fairway.
With all of that being said, it is better than any Nashville Metro Course and offers a challenge to any golfer. Undulating greens make scoring a challenge based on pin placement, but it is certainly fair. If your looking for a great value, I’d make the trip to play this course. Greens are in good shape, though there are sign of play (People need to Learn to fix divots).
Hello, We are well worth the drive! But we're glad you liked our course layout and value for the money. Thank you for leaving us a 4-star rating.
Must play in Nashville area
Very fun challenging course! Under some construction now so some parts were rough but still was able to play all 18 holes which was nice! Best part about this course is the greens. Greens are huge and fast here with massive slopes. Led to multiple 3 puts which is not fun, but have to love the challenge!
Well designed course, one of the best I have played in the Nashville area.
Staff in the clubhouse was very friendly and helpful too, for a first timer at the course.
Will be back to play this spectacular course.
Hello, Yes, we are under construction for the time being. But we're glad you got to play all 18 holes. We applaud you for taking on a challenge.
Amazing Golf Course For The Price!
This course is absolutely amazing for the price. It was in great condition for being in the middle of winter. The staff was friendly, and the grill had amazing food. I would recommend this course to everyone. It is the same quality as a course with $100 green fees.

Only worth the hot deal
The Legacy is one of the closest courses to my house, but time and again the lack of hospitality from the staff turns me away. I was a frequent player at this course over the summer, and the head pro was always less than welcoming. The course relies heavily on practice mats for the driving range, which can be overlooked, but not on top of the customer service. The snack bar is closed for winter, so don’t expect to be able to get a snack at the turn, unless you luck out with the small selection in the golf shop. Unfortunately, this could be an incredible golf course, and among the elite in Middle Tennessee, but right now it is not.
