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.

Terrible Pace of Play - No Ranger

We play different courses around the valley every week. Couldn’t remember why we haven’t played here in several years but today I remembered. Course conditions are way below average. Greens have been punched and are so bumpy you can’t roll a putt. Burned out, muddy areas on the fairway. All of this doesn’t matter though because there is no ranger to keep play moving so you will be waiting on every single shot. On the first par 3 there were three groups waiting to tee off watching morons look for their balls. After 11 holes I left and I will never be back (until I forget why I hate this course 3 years from now). There are way better courses you can spend your money on.

Only half of water stations had any water the whole day , made turn @ approx 3pm , grill / kitchen closed for the day , only bar open ! Needless to say not putting customer experience @ top of the list :/

Awful condition

Greens and fairways were punched a week ago. This is probably the worst condition I have seen this course. Played it at least 10-15 times. Pace of play was great but right now it is not worth the price. They need to do a better job with maintenance.

Disappointing

We played Sunday and Monday

Sunday was fine with exception to the plugged greens.

Monday. They were plugging the fairways as well and we couldn’t finish hole 18 due to watering.

Punched Greens

Always like this course. Greens were punched last week. Looks like some bunker work is going on too. Some light fluffy sand. Give the greens a few weeks and it will back to normal.

Greens were bad... recently punched

The greens were rough and definitely affected a number of putts. When dude was cleaning my clubs he mentioned the greens were punched on Monday. This should have been revealed during the booking process.

The course layout is interesting and a late afternoon start allowed for a very enjoyable pace of play.

Slow Play not enforced, makes it very very frustrating

Starter told us up front that it was taking 2:45 to make the turn. First couple of holes pace of play was fine. By the 7th hole there were three groups backed up on the tee box. Ranger didn't do anything. This was the second time in the last month I experienced extremely slow play at Legend Trail. Have played there off and on since it opened in the mid-ninties. Won't be back.

Great course - RUDE Marshall

Marshall drove by the tee box during my wife’s backswing. When I talked to him about it, he blew me off and said we were playing too slow. We were not, had to wait on every tee box. This guy needs to go!
