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.

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.

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.

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.

Great Track-No so Great counter staff

One of my faverate courses- showed up in extreme heat- no one there, the range was closed for renovations. After putting & chipping, I asked the starter to go early. He needed to check with the Pro shop- Pro shop said NO. Need to wait for specified tee time- starter told me no one had tee'd off for 60 minutes.

For starters, range was closed and arriving early to practice, we were told that even though nobody had teed off in over an hour (hot time of day) that we couldn’t tee off until actual tee time due to booking through GolfNow. What a joke, especially with them closing practice range. Played there many times but might be our last.

range closed

Range under construction look like for a couple months and no practice chipping even. They should notify you before selecting tee time that range is not open.
