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.

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.

Legend Trail

Was surprised by the course- better then expected. The front 9 is OK good conditions. nice golf holes. Greens a little slow . The back nine is a different course very very nice. Much more elevation, green complexes much better. Visually stunning back nine and a better let rest of golf. The back nine is as good as any public course in the area.

Good but not great

Legend Trail is a solid golf course. Very typical desert design, but not memorable.. Lots of forced carries off the tee make it fun for the low handicapper, but difficult for beginners. In-season greens fees are high for a course of this quality.

Great course

Great course! Well maintained, challenging layout but fair. Well worth the money. Very scenic with elevation changes, surrounding desert, and mountains in the background. Less than 30 mins from N Scottsdale. Highly recommended.
