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.

1 single, 12 minutes, 1 round

Although the Club is sufficiently pretentious, I couldn't help but feel we were drove along like a bunch of cattle. Our 4th was unable to show up, so they put us with a single. Although the gentleman (the single) was very nice, his game was off. By hole number 9 we were 11 minutes off the pace. We were ordered to pick up our drives and March to the 10th hole. There goes that round.

Nice course, fairways were in good shape, greens were okay, maybe a bit slower than I expected. Great bunkers, but the starter said they replaced the sand recently. It's a tight course, not too much space off the fairway. One of us had to rent (thanks WestJet) and the rentals were pretty poor, bit of a hodge podge set. At $125 I really expected GPS on the cart, which it wasn't.

Good layout except for a couple holes. No GPS in cart so some holes are a mystery off tee. Greens were bumpy. No towels in cart

pace of play

Pace on front nine was great, pace on back nine was slow which lead to back up holes and groups hitting into other groups.

Beautiful course but long

Beautiful course! Very well maintained. The mid to long tees on some holes can be fairly challenging as there is long stretches on dessert washes with bushes and rocks and small trees before the fairway.

A wonderful course

I played Legend Trail years ago and was reminded of how fair the course is, yet still requires you to make shots. The greens were very good condition and consistent with no tricky slopes. The back nine makes you work a bit, so be prepared to carry your drives over some desert.

Marshall ruined the experience

Played as a single and 2 of the players I was put with simply shouldn't have been playing on this course. Good guys, just couldnt keep the pace up. Hacking off tees, constantly in the junk, etc. And of course they just had to play one of the back tees and frequently hit 2 tee shots. That brings me to the marshall. Just a nasty gentleman who is a terrible representative for your club. He stopped by at one point to sternly tell me our group needed to get going and to play ready golf. We were already playing ready golf and I myself was running to my ball from the cart on the cart path and back again. It just so happened that when he stopped by I was pressing so much I had left my clubhead cover in the fairway. At my cart when I noticed, he said, "just get going, we'll get it!" When he came by again I asked about it and he said there wasn't one. From the next tee I could still see it on the side of a hilI in the fairway and tried to point it out to him, but he just took off. I later asked another, much kinder marshall and told him which fairway...still no headcover even though I gave him a specific location. I cant even review the actual course adequately because it was such a frustrating, pressure-filled round. Good condition...thats about all I noticed. It seemed nice but my perspective is tainted by the whole experience.
