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.

Not What I Expected

I thought Legends was going to be a beautiful golf course. Instead, I found a rather normal golf course that charges High Rates. This Golf Course charges premium fees yet the sand traps are horrible with hard as rock sand. The Greens were in pretty good shape. Beverage Cart was readily available and that was good on a hot day. If you live close by, play this Course. If you have a decent drive to get there, it is not worth the commute.

Will never play this course again

The staff were the most rude I have ever experienced. First off, the starter yelled at us that he wanted to have all of us teed off by our start time, rather than starting at our start time. How were we to know we should actually start before our actual tee time? On one hole we had a maintenance worker who was edging the cat path never look back for players, so we were a bit concerned about the possibility of hitting him. So we aimed our shots to the opposite side of fairway, causing some shots to go into the rough. At another hole, as we were chipping and putting around the green, a maintenance worker had a large blowing machine operating which was extremely noisy and distracting. We waited for him to stop and he wouldn't and when we confronted him afterwards, he was very rude & belligerent. At the end of the round we told a staff member at the pro shop about the noisy machinery incident and we were then told, quite defensively, that the maintenance crew cannot stop for anything as they have a schedule to keep. I have never been on a course where the crew did not stop momentarily, if making lots of noise, while one is either teeing off or putting. Other than at the bag drop area, the staff were very rude and offensive. None of us will ever play this course again and we will not hesitate to share our experience with others.

My favorite course of all time

Beautifully manicured course with a great feel and layout. Excellent practice facility.

A few cons: Expensive except in summer. The course is difficult. It feels like you are rolling the dice every time you have driver in your hand with desert on both sides of every fairway. Accuracy is more important than length.

Great Course!!!

First time here and had an awesome experience.

The course itself is challenging also in great shape.

Staff was friendly, except the cart girl quit early, so we had to fend for ourselves which we did at the turn.

I will definitely play this course again.

Nice course

Nice course for the value. Good pace of play and friendly staff. A few quirky holes but kinda expected for a desert course. Greens rolled well. Will definitely play again.

Legend Trail

Greatly enjoyed my round. There are some hidden obstacles/hazards for the first time player. Course hole layout maps should be made available or printed on the scorecard. Course was in excellent condition and the greens were rolling well. This is my new favorite course i in the north Scottsdale area. Will play often when there in the future

Great course

It's a great course, difficult but not impossible. However prices are still pretty high, but for the most part worth it.

Great golf day

Staff was great, really enjoyed the course. back nine is far more challenging than the front. Played from the silver tees. Back nine is serious target golf. Played in March. I did an analysis of the course rating versus cost and legends trail was the winner. highly recommend the $7 breakfast burritos.
