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.

Great Shape

From tee to green course in immaculate shape! Great practice area, solid Bev cart service. Only thing they need: GPS on carts, all courses of this caliber have them.

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!

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.
