When the architect Rees Jones created the golf course at the Legend Trail Golf Club, he created a golf course that brings out the Old West-style air of Scottsdale and a fun and testing golf course with greens made of bent grass. It's a premium golf course smack dab in the Sonora Desert.

The golf course at the Legend Trail Golf Club features broad fairways, diminutive bunkering and tees placed on islands, and has been called one of the Top 100 golf courses by Golf Magazine. The magazine also gives Legend Trail 4.5 stars out of five among its

Best Places to Play, and has one of the Top 100 Woman-Friendly Fairways, according to Golf For Women magazine. Panoramas include local sites like Pinnacle Peak, and a round at Legend Trail Golf Club gives all levels of golfer several different shot-making options.

Golf a late-afternoon round on Friday or Saturday, and head back to the Trail's End Grill from 4 to 6 p.m. for specials on drinks and appetizers.

Best time of year for Legend Trail

Course was in great shape. Traps and greens were immaculate. Nice track and uncrowded. Affordable this time of year.

I don’t understand the bad reviews

I was very hesitant to golf here because of the brutal reviews. So glad I did! The pro shop was very nice, along with the starters. The course was in great shape except for a few spots, and seems to have healed from whatever was going on a couple of weeks ago. Good drink specials, hot dogs. Beautiful scenery. Up in way North Scottsdale, so 5 degrees cooler. $60 dollar afternoon tee time that includes range balls. The 7 pm cart curfew is a bit disappointing, but otherwise, it was a wonderful day! We even saw a bobcat!

Horrible conditions and elevated prices

Played here in June, the prices were very high for Phoenix summer golf. I was expecting tip top conditions, at what they are charging, but boy were we in for a shock! Fairways were 40% burnt out, not in good shape at all. Greens healthy but extremely bumpy. I like the layout a lot, especially the back 9, but it is such a bad value right now. I would be a little more forgiving, but the golf staff is so snooty, like they are doing you a favor for letting you play. (The club cleaners are super nice though.). Just not a good experience. They should be charging $25 or $30 w/ the course in this condition, not $55. No wonder it is deserted...

Horrendous course conditions

I had played Legend Trail before and really enjoyed it. However, this time the only good thing was I played by myself and played in 2 hours! The greens were not great but good but the fairways and tees had little to NO grass on them. There were large parts of the fairways that were just damp mud! I wouldn’t recommend anyone play this course until the Bermuda grows in (if ever this year). Glad I got a hot deal on golf pass!

Awful fairways

The greens and tee boxes are nice. The fairways are toast. Very little grass. You are hitting off of dirt.

Old mentality in pro shop

The staff reminded me of the old days when the pro shops felt like they were doing us a favor by allowing us to spend our money there to play.. I’m glad these are few and far between these days. Nice course but I’ll take my money to other places with better customer service. Cheers

Always A Fun Track

Legend is always a great track because a scratch golfer can have fun and score well and an 18 handicap can do the same. Enough challenges to keep it interesting but not brutally difficult for the high cappers. We’re hitting the warm season, so the grass is transitioning in the fairways, but I never had a completely barren lie in the fairway or around greens. The bunkers might be some of the best in town at a public course. Greens were pure with the exception of golfers not fixing their pitch marks - it’s ridiculous to not bend over and fix a couple when you get to the green. Tee boxes were all perfect.

Course condition

Greens were nice, fairways were garbage with tons and tons of dead yellow grass with hard pan lies. Not worth $140 right now at all

Great time at Legend Trail GC

Course is in very good shape. The only improvement I could advise is add more sand to the bunkers and keep them raked--not as bad as some muni-course bunkers, but could be softer.

Also due to high recent temps, the fairways were slow from watering--not much rollout on drives. I understand that, but the rough was also watered fairly heavy making it a bit sloppy to get a club through the ball. The staff was excellent, pace great, course looked wonderful and good price performance.
