Type Public
Par 72
Length 6674 yards
Slope 127
Rating 72.2

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.

Bet Your Legend On It

This is a nice course in terrific condition. From the tips it's very challenging but fair. No gimmicks. The greens are very subtle and you need to know which way the grain is going. Still a little damp in spots because of all the summer rain, but no standing water. A must play.

5-some :(

With all the recent rain the course played better than expected. Pace of play was not bad but still a bit disappointing since it was being dictated by a 5-some.

Nice course but need work on paths

The course was in good shape but the cart paths are in major need of repair. The price was ok but had some difficulty because the on line says 18 holes but then also says 9 hole time. So the value was not a great value.

Nice track

Course was in very good shape, greens held and rolled true. Sand traps need some work... no, they need some sand!! They were unplayable as sand traps, and upon leaving, we saw a huge pile of sand in the parking lot. Maybe it would do more good in the traps.

Staff was great, starters were very helpful, steering us to the South nine where no one was playing instead of the North where we were scheduled.

Paid $13.00 for 18 and a cart and that's a bargain wherever, so I won't complain too loudly. Nice place overall.

Playing As a Single

If you're a single and going to this course because you can get a great rate, make sure that you're fine playing by yourself. The starters will try to send you out alone, before or after your assigned tee time, but will not give you the option to play with the threesome that you should be matched up with via GOLFNOW.

I don't like playing by myself. I get bored after three or four holes. That's why, when my friends can't play, I look for GOLFNOW tee times where there are already two or three golfers signed up. I get to meet new people and almost always have a fun round. But at this course, they just don't seem to want this to happen. I won't be going back.

Singles and Golf Now

The course was in excellent condition and the weather was perfect. Low seventies, sunny.

I'm writing this review because it's often disappointing how starters, or even those at the desk, handle golfers from GolfNow or other online tee-time providers.

I was a single, the fourth and last to purchase a 12:40 tee time from GolfNow. The guy at the desk inside understood this just fine. But when I got outside to see the starter, my name was not on his list. It took a little while to get him to understand things, but we worked it out. The threesome in my group was not yet there - and were of course unknown to me - so I kept close to monitor new arrivals.

The starter, though, disappeared for 10-15 minutes while it was very busy, so he didn't match me up with my group when they arrived. The Legends is a 27-hole layout with groups starting off of three spots, and the people I was supposed to play with got to the tee without me.

It was lucky that, just before they tee'd off, the starter finally returned to tell me this, but only after I asked him. I caught up with them in time, enjoyed their company, and had a good round.

This sort of thing, though, happens too much when getting online tee times. It's usually just me with one buddy or me alone and we generally need to be paired up with another group. We understand that, and enjoy it, but too often the course employees don't seem to handle the meshing of these groups, people that don't even know what each other looks like, very well.

Perhaps some words could be passed on to those whose jobs it should be to do this, to do it a little better.

This will be on my top 10 in northeastern Ohio

If you have a slice like mine, you better bring a ball retriever, or just plan on losing a few in the water. Great course to play, well maintained.

A lovely course at a great golfnow rate

Got a $10 rate on golfnow, so decided to give this course a look. Very pleasantly surprised at the course, layout, and conditions. Greens were fast and rolling, fairways in great shape, traps, as most courses nowadays, need work ( minimal sand).

Overall, a very nice course, with many beautiful homes around its perimeter. Definitely would play the course again

Nice course

The course has gotten a lot of water lately and the greens were holding very well. Unfortunately, people have been extremely bad at repairing their pitch marks so the greens were a pock-marked mess. They still rolled quite fast but not very true.

The course is generally pretty open and scenic and everything aside from the greens was well-maintained. Pace of play was pretty slow but, then again it was a holiday so I can't blame the course for that.
