Legend Trail Golf Club

About
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.

Another Great Hole Photo submitted by mhinkle on 09/23/2012
Excellent as always
A bit pricey for this time of year, but still a great course to play.
I was very impressed.
I hadn't played there in some time but I was pleased to see what fantastic shape the courses in. Also the staff was very friendly. They seemed much less rule-happy than in previous rounds. The word I would use for the course is pristine. Too bad they're going to have to dry out and shave off all that beautiful Bermuda soon.
Had a great time. Wonderful, but tough course.
The course is in excellent condition especially for summer. The fairways were excellent. The aprons and greens were spongy and slow. You had to adjust your game for that, but once you did nearly all of the greens were consistent and reliable. I noticed from the last time I played here which was several years ago that they have cleared out a lot of the brush and overgrowth. The areas were very clean and line of site was not impaired. The range was mats only. BOOO. The restaurant was closed due to renovations. The staff inside and out were great. The carts were in good shape, but no GPS. I have my own so no big deal. Just thought it odd that an upscale course like this did not have GPS. The ranger was friendly and had some good advice. I strongly suggest that you play from the appropriate tees. The guy I was paired with played from the black tees, because he could. I did not. I play one of the forward tees. Both of us enjoyed playing the course. If you want to make your outing miserable, play from the wrong tees. A special thank you goes out to the 4 some of college age kids who knew they were playing slow and allowed us to play through. Thank you Gentlemen, you made our day much more enjoyable with your etiquette and courtesy.
Hot day
Elevation in North Scottsdale made the temperature bearable.
The pave was perfect and the challenging course created purpose, and focus. No birdies but for the intermediate golfer, worth the trip from the east valley.
Course Review
Hadn’t played Legend Trails in a number of years. Course was in good shape for summertime. Loved how it wove in between the neighborhood. Lots of doglegs which made for some interesting shots. Great driving range and practice facilities.
Anyone not playing here in summer is crazy
This course is a true hidden gem in the Phoenix valley. The front 9 is straight forward, pretty standard. The back 9 is very challenging and very beautiful. It is severely underplayed in the summer, probably because the prices are about 20% high compared to the competition, and it's a bit of a drive. But golfers are really missing out... the temperature is about 8 degrees color than the down valley courses, and LT is a lot better than almost every other public course in the valley.
LT makes for a very fun round
The only thing that they need to earn 5 stars is gps in the carts and a restaurant. Great track, in excellent shape.
Great shape
We played Legends today for $50, hot deal through golfnow. We played in about 3 hours as a twosome, it was amazing. The course was in great shape, greens rolling well. We will definitely be back!
Okay
Arizona summer, they give you no water or towels, who does that?
Love the course
I have been a big fan of Legend Trail .
I played it the first time before it was open to the public. Always in good shape and very challenging but fair
Great Place- Summertime
Course is in good shape- great layout greens good shape - pace of play great- mid afternoon- hot
Perfect place to get out and work on a few things with nobody rushing you etc…..
Outside service staff are the best around - friendly and helpful
Course in Good Shape
So this is always a great and challenging course. And in good shape despite it being summer. So electricity down at the course, no food or beverage cart, but plenty of water throughout. Pace was excellent and all fairways, bunkers and greens in good shape. And super friendly staff.
not bad value but not worth it
greens were aerated recently so they ran slow. didnt have the best transition into summer. fairways had quite a few dead spots. some tee boxes needed work
Kept coming back for more
I came to Carefree to visit my family. I love to tee it up with my brother and Dad tags along to watch. It was so refreshing to see a fairly priced tee time before 10 am for a non-resident such as myself. I travel a lot, and I was getting gouged in Las Vegas and California. It was so affordable I came back four days in a row! Couldn't get enough. Loved the layout and the greens were in much better shape than some of the other courses in the neighborhood. Friendly staff. I will definitely be back next time I visit the fam.
