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.

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.

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.

A Good Track without the Expense

I’ve played here a number of times and course has a lot of different and varying holes. Course was in great shape and pace of play was good as well. Actually saw Marshall’s a couple of times on the course to ensure play was moving and/or assist as needed. A good track go check it out. As all courses in AZ right now we saw a Western Diamond Back on the cart path and he to wait for him to cross before we could proceed.

Sneaky Pete

Course was in very good shape; of course many bunkers not raked and I would have liked GPS as some blind holes, and the ability to see players ahead of us. Staff was very friendly.

Fun course to play!

Really enjoyed the course. No hole was the same. Didn’t have GPS, which is difficult if you don’t know about hazards.

Overall, a fun and well kept course

A Gem!

Great Rees Jones layout. Not a boring shot on the course. Conditions, especially the bunkers and greens are stellar. Great scenery even though it’s lined with houses. I can’t recommend it enough!
