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.

What you don't know CAN hurt you

Need to provide GPS or course map. Too many blind shots to have no info provided by course. One of the marshals told us to expect water every other hole. What?!?

Good course, fun round

This course was fun to play! Difficult at times due to the narrow fairways and very troubling 'rough' if you aren't straight with your tee shots. Makes it difficult, but the relatively shorter distance is the trade off. Very scenic. Would recommend playing early/mid morning to avoid the heat.

Great layout

Legend Trail is an outstanding layout with a lot of great holes but unfortunately is in only average shape at this point in time. The course is very dry and has many brown spots as the course is being readied for the annual changing to summer grass. Greens are rock hard with no ball marks to be found on an approach shot. Played with a member and his son and the round only took 3 and half hours. Staff especially the cart greeters was excellent and will look to play again this summer.

Legend Trail Worthy of Praise

The course is challenging as always but more so on a very windy day. The tee boxes (copper) are somewhat firm, the fairways are well maintained but somewhat dryed out, and the greens are mostly in excellent condition. Overall a top course for any golfer to play.

Good desert layout

Legend Trail is a good test of golf. Many of the tee shots are visually intimidating even though there is ample landing area. Course was in good shape.

A Must Play

Love the course. Many holes require you to select the right club off the tee to set up for the next shot. Select the right tee to fully enjoy.

Five hour round

A great track that will challenge your game. Great views of the mountains and desert. I was a single and paired with a single and a couple - they were great to play with. However, we certainly did not enjoy a five hour round. We waited on just about every tee box.
