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 day of golf

Staff, facility awesome. Cart guys are always friendly as are the starters and pro shop. First week after overseeding (everything overseeded with winter rye... no dormant Bermuda) 3” of rain earlier this week didn’t hurt either! Great value!

Great course; great value

I have not played Legend Trail in 20 years, but it is still a good challenge and great layout. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Since those years I have moved up to the Copper tees playing about 6000 which makes the game much more enjoyable. The last 3 finishing holes are a challenge, lots of desert to carry off the tees. You might want to get a round in before overseeding and prices climb.

Wow!!

Great course in great shape in the middle of summer. Tee boxes were perfect, fairways were green and the greens were great. Greens were receptive to approach shots and even had to fix a few divots.

Bring a rangefinder

There are no yardage markers on the golf course. I think I found 1 hundred yard plate on the course. Luckily for me I played with 2 gentlemen who had rangefinders. It was an okay experience. I probably will not return to this property.

The Legend Lives!

Wow! Very nice course! Lot's of challenging doglegs! Requires smart play off the tees! Greens still a little bumpy since aeration 2/3 weeks ago but they are healing nicely! #2 handicap hole (11) way underrated! Nice little back-to-back closing par 5's!

Front 9 a little more open and the back 9 requires shot maker skills! LT is the 15th fav course in my top 10 list!

July 10th

The course was in very good condition overall. The greens had been recently aerated and there was a significant amount of rainfall the day prior making the greens less than excellent. Pretty shaggy.

I really love the layout as it challenges you off the tee. Many drives have to be placed correctly or you’ll be looking at a punch out of the desert brush. Bunkers were in great shape.

An excellent course for the money in a beautiful setting. You should definitely play here!

Slow Greens

Had been wanting to play this course for a while now, and finally got the chance today. The course was in good shape, tee boxes looked good, and bunkers were raked. Only issue is the greens were punched maybe 2 weeks ago and haven’t fully recovered yet. Super bumpy and slow for now, would golf again knowing the greens have recovered and been cut.

Punchy

Greens just got punched and are not ready to be mowed so they were bumpy and slow. Fairways and tees in very good shape. Next week the course will be in great shape all around. Great value.

Happen again.

Golfnow failed to inform golfer that greens recently punched and sanded. This also the case two weeks ago at Orange Tree golf course in Phoenix. Seems as if I need to call the course for conditions before I book my next round.

I too thought Golfnow failed to inform about courses being punched and aerated. but upon further review I noticed a little upside down triangle with a red exclamation point inside the triangle...when clicked it specifically said that the course, Orange Tree, was punched the previous week...
