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.

Overpriced

Don’t expect mats on range or grass growing in bunkers for this price. Gas carts are a pain as well. Carts don’t have GPS either. Pretty good layout

Gold Standard for Service

Note to other courses: Go to Legend Trail and learn how customer service is done right. They get it, keep up the good work!! The staff should be proud of their fine showing.

Thank-you for making it a great day.

Enjoyable course

This is a nice course and a nice facility. The layout was good. Particularly enjoyed the back nine with some very nice holes both visually and architecturally. Good conditions. Greens were quite nice; relatively fast and rolled true. 90 degree from path suggested but basically free to drive fairways. Would definitely play it again.

Legend Trail - Great Value for the Money

Legend Trail never disappoints! Great track, smooth and true greens, fun and challenging layout, course is in great shape this time of year, staff incredibly friendly to players of all levels, friendly Cart Ladies (great hot chocolate!), and a great overall experienced. My favorite element of Legend however… wonderful views! Great value for the price.

Fun course.

Fun course, challenging. Only one hole with water, but lots of long carry’s in the back nine. Challenging if you are not a big hitter.

Unless you never hit an errant shot……..

The course was in great condition having just reopened after overseeding. The pace of play was good. The starter was fantastic in providing an overview and tips for the course (so extensive that I couldn’t remember all of the hints).

However, because the course designer chose to feature the desert and unique challenges on most holes, this round was not enjoyable for myself an my eye wife vacationing here from a northern state and only 20+ handicappers. So unless you have very consistent distance and direction control (both are required here), bring lots of extra balls and a very resilient attitude.
