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.

Good condition

Maintenance staff have done a lot of work in cleaning up the shrubbery around the course giving it a cleaner look.

Conditioning is good as is the green speed.

Staff are always very efficient and friendly here.

Excellent day on the course

Great price though GN, course was in great shape. In a very nice area so usually a higher price round, but it was worth it at reduced rate. I would recommend it and will be back

Great for the $

Course was not in the best condition I have ever seen it. Although, that is to be expected this time of the year. Staff, amenities, practice area all perfect.

Sunday golf

I spent my Sunday afternoon Appalachian trail which is a really nice golf course in north Scottsdale. I have played there many times before but it had been a while. Beautiful views course conditions were very good pace of play it was very good. Played with a very nice single Person who joined our group. I would highly recommend playing legend Trail. The restaurant and lounge is very nice and the food and drinks were great

Best value in Scottsdale.

This is a hidden gem of a course. Great layout and design, risk vs reward par 5’s are more than satisfying. Greens roll true and the course is in magnificent condition.

Worst Golf experience

Never thought the staff of a golf course could make my round unenjoyable. Congrats to Lengend Trail's staff, they did it. Staff treated our foursome like first time golfers. Rushing us through the course even though we were at a 4:10 pace. Made us skip hole 10 only to wait 5 minutes on the next 4 holes to tee off. It took a 10 minute break getting drinks to get back to a normal pace of play. After we finished 18 they let us play hole 10, which caused the course to get backed up by 2-3 groups. Hopefully, the staff apologize to all those golfers who got delayed due to their poor management decision.

The course was in ok shape. Not what I expected for the price I paid and the location. Will not play again.

Mr. McGlaun,

I would like to take a moment to apologize to you and your group for the golf experience you had at Legend Trail. We took a bad situation and made it worse. As a golf professional I should have handled this situation better than I did. If you decide to play Legend Trail again feel free to give me a call and I will have you and your group out as my guest for the day. Again I apologize for the poor experience you had at Legend Trail, it is our intent to provide an enjoyable day for all our guest and unfortunately in your case we failed.

Sincerely,

James Napier
Head Golf Professional

Can always count on this course!

My husband and I were paired with 2 men who had a music box Sonos type gadget that they choose to play for the entire 18 holes. Their choice of music and level at which it was played was rude!! Where did golf eticet go?? Please ban this!! Really ruined our round. Perhaps the course could restrict this type of behavior and embrace old school golf. No phones no music! Just play the game. We love your course!

Fantastic Gem in Deep North Scottsdale

Great course design, lay out and risk-reward holes. Played 3/9/18, good overall condition, awesome pace of play. Warm up facilities are adequate, chipping green is very small and rocky, but other than that this course is worth the extra few minute drive. Fair off the tee, any average to better player will find a solid mix of shots to play and can get at the par 5’s with a little risk. Great track, play it every time I come down on golf trips.

A few quirky hole on the back nine with the driver but a fun course to play. The greens were in great shape. I'd play it again.

Disappointed!

After we booked the tee time at a very cheap price on GolfNow, the golf course would not honor the rate. Our tee time was then cancelled.

Awesome Place

I have played Lesgand Trail about a dozen times over the last two years when I’m down in the Phoenix area and I keep wondering if this next trip will be the one where they let me down. However the only thing that keeps happening is that the experience is so good I just rebook again. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, the on course rangers aren’t just guys putting in time for their discounted tee times they actually work at keeping the pace of play moving and offering help when needed. The course layout is challenging and never gets boring, the greens are always in great playable conditions and roll true. The oncourse cart service staff are available and friendly you will actually see them a couple times on each nine. I have been paired with members of the men’s group and have always been made to feel welcome and have even booked another tee time with one the memebers.

THIS IS A MUST PLAY!
