The Legends of Massillon offers 27 holes of championship golf. The holes are divided into three nines: East, North, and South; which can be played in different 18-hole combinations. Originally opened in 1995 as an 18-hole golf course, another nine was added with each of the three nines featuring six of the original holes and three new ones. The East/North combination has large greens and plenty of water. Water is a prominent feature on every nine, it comes into play on 22 out of the 27 holes and you'll also have more than 80 strategically placed bunkers throughout to contend with. There are four sets of tees on every nine, making it accessible for a wide range of skill levels. The Legends consistently ranks as one of the top public golf courses in Ohio.

Always a great course to play

The Legends has always been a great course for all levels of golfers. The layout is great and the staff is super friendly. The bunkers have seen their better days as many were unplayable and the fairways were spotty in areas but overall, the course is fun to play and the greens were smooth and consistent.

Could be a nice course

Get rid of the geese!!!!! They are destroying the course!!

There is crap everywhere!! Traps have turned into goose

bathrooms. There is literally goose poop everywhere.

Pace of play is extremely slow, please don’t say it was because you were busy. There were no rangers on the course keeping pace of play moving. We waited almost 40 mins. per hole for almost the entire first 9 we played. Terrible!!! No excuse for that.

The goose investation is out of control and is unsanitary.

Traps need a lot work.

This course used to be nice, but is going down hill fast.

Really nice golf course

I play here a couple times a month, course in in really good shape except for the sand traps. Most are unplayable with a lot of rocks in them. Great practice facilities. Price is one of the best in the area, especially for Seniors, which I think starts at 55.

Always a great play!

Always look forward to playing at the Legends, conditions are very good, staff is friendly, however this time was terrible for pace of play!!Tee time was 11:32 and didn’t get off course till 4:30. Five hours is way too long to play during the midday! Never saw a ranger, probably didn’t have one with today’s help situation! No one wants to work anymore! Sign of the times!! Hopefully the next time will be better!

Need Help Mowing ?

Carts tell you pace of play and rangers try to push you along. How about you mow the roughs. I understand it rains, but if you can mow fairways, you can mow roughs. Don’t need to go crazy. Take a third of the height. In the past, I’ve had Ranger tell me to pick up the pace. Told him it’s near impossible to find a ball in the rough. He said,”you shouldn’t hit in the rough”. What a genius! Asked him if he ever saw me playing on TV - he said no. Told him that’s why I’m here. Bunkers have been junk for at least 6-7 years. Eliminate 75% of the bunkers, mow roughs and tell rangers to relax and give them a mower too. Wanna speed up play - mow the roughs!

Never again

They severely overbooked causing major backup at the first tee and beyond. I'd rather be told a course doesn’t have tee times than have to sit 20-30 minutes between holes. The staff then blamed the extremely slow pace of play on “bad golfers” instead of admitting they overbooked. The course is really not well maintained despite reviews saying that it is. Weeds everywhere including in the bunkers which would already be unplayable without them due to complete lack of upkeep. It’s very evident that they are only looking to make money even if it’s at the expense of the golfers enjoyment.

Great round

Had a blast played the north and the east course. Starter was extremely friendly and courteous and paired us with a single with our threesome and we all had a blast. Great conditions considering the amount of rain we’ve gotten so very impressed will be back.

Nice track

Overall, course was in good shape for all the rain we’ve had. Starter was a great guy and let me and my son get out early. Also offered advice on the bunkers which were not ready yet for play. Pace of play was slow because people do t let you play thru. Had some golfers in front of us who should have stick to playing putt putt. Great course, great staff, nice clubhouse. I would recommend this course for sure, not a course for beginners but really nice for average or above players!

One of my Favorites

Played 18 today with my brother & a buddy who were first-timers to Legends, and we all had a blast! Brother drove up from Columbus to meet us, and it’s approximately a 1 hour drive for me and my friend, but we all agreed it was worth the drive.

I have played the course a handful of times, and really ever have only had 1 bad experience on my last visit, due to very slow pace of play; they had seriously overbooked and we got stuck behind 4 other groups from the start. I will give the starter credit, though; he tried to move my group(two people)up in front of the rest of the groups(all foursomes). Two of those groups were nice enough to let us play through, but the other two refused. A little common sense and courtesy by those two groups would have helped immensely w/ the pace of play complaint, but I guess those two traits are lost on some folks. So, as I mentioned earlier, I won’t totally blast the Legends staff for doing nothing to try and improve pace of play that day.

I was, of course, somewhat concerned that it could be a repeat this time, as I have seen pace of play complaints showing up in recent reviews as well. I’ll also say this; it seems like slow pace of play is FAR from exclusive to only this course. I feel like it’s an epidemic that pretty much affects every course at some point. I can say this time, though, pace of play was definitely not an issue. Talking to the starter today, it seemed as if they were actively trying to help make sure things didn’t get bottlenecked…he found us on the driving range about 10 minutes before our tee time, and offered to get us out early since the group before was running late. We jumped at that chance, and had maybe 2 times the whole round that we had to wait on the tee for groups ahead; maybe added 10 minutes total to our round. Can’t really complain about 4&1/2 hours for 18 on a Sunday morning.

Touching on a couple other points - course was today, and always has been, in great shape any time I’ve played it. Couple aerated greens on North 9 that made for tricky putts, but no other issues at all anywhere else this round.

Have always loved the layout of this course, it’s why I keep coming back!
