Legend Trail Golf Club
About
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.

Another Great Hole Photo submitted by mhinkle on 09/23/2012
Great staff even though working in xmas
Enjoyed the day, they had minimal staff on Xmas day which was expected but everyone took very good care of us. The course was in great shape.
Good maintained interesting course
Course was in exzellent condition , Greens very fair and not too fast.
The best of the six courses that we have played on this trip.
Very well run operation. Nice people. course was in fine shape. Greens running nice and fast. Only knock is players not fixing their ball marks. Wish more folks would fallow the twofer edicate.......make one mark, fix two. Tee boxes and fairways, really good. Some holes are target, most you can smack the driver around. Fun game.
Good practice area. Irons off of matts on the range though.
Horrible pin placements.
The pin placements on 2 and 17 were ridiculous. They are also stating to get an awful lot of ball marks on the greens making for some bump puts.
Solid desert golf course
If you like to play desert golf with no adjacent holes this is your course. Great layout with a good mix of holes. We were the 2nd group off and played in 3 hours and 45 minutes. The only issue I had this time was that there was standing water on the greens on at least 6 occasions. They need to fix that situation . Nice pace to the greens. Tee boxes need some work as they are starting to get a little crowned on a few holes.
Great dessert course
Legend Trail is a great course. Very fair, tee box options for advanced players and average players. Well worth the money. Can't wait to play again. Love it.
Long, slow slog
We have played Legends Trail many times and like it very much. Our most recent experience serves as a cautionary tale. They are putting groups out much too close together. We went out at 1:00. Under normal circumstances that would have been plenty of time to finish a round before dark. We knew that we were in trouble when on the second hole we watched the group ahead of us tee off. That continued throughout the round. The Marshall showed up about halfway through and said that it was slow the whole way...as though he had no control, only sympathy. We finally gave up at 5:15. We had only completed 15 holes. Courses that put groups out too close together may make more profits in the short run, but they cost themselves repeat business.
5.5 hours not acceptable
Although the course is quite nice and challenging, watching the foursome in front of you tee off on every hole as we waited to tee off ourselves was unacceptable. The Marshall, and I assume the management of the course were not only unapologetic, but said there was nothing they could do. I have never experienced this before and will not be back!
Loving a Legend
I was greeted by the clubhouse entrance and my bag whisked away and put on a power cart. Reception was friendly and check-in efficient and quick. I walked out to the power cart and drove over to the driving range where complimentary balls were set up. They are using mats for the time being which was fine with me although I prefer hitting off the grass. The practice area is well laid out and I had time to chip and putt before my round. I hooked up with 2 other gentlemen and they made the round interesting and fun. The course itself was in very good condition (overseeding was done in late Sept) and we were able to use the 90 degree rule for power cars. Greens were still a little slow from the overseeding but ran true. I was told after my round that the green speed will vastly improve over the next 2 weeks. One of the staff met me as I drove off the course and cleaned my clubs and offered to take the clubs to the front of the clubhouse. Well taken care of and an enjoyable round of golf.
Very Nice Course
Carts just allowed off paths after over-seeding. Course is beautiful. Fun and some challenging shots, but very fair.
Only complaint was that the greens were very slow. Not a big deal though after over-seeding.
Great layout
Great track, great design from back tees. Challenging tee shots. Course usually in good shape, great views. Fun course to play.
Aussie visitor
Very good layout surprised with the variations in elevation. Excellent greens but found them hard to read as a first timer. Definitely on the list for my next trip.
Great for September!
Course was really nice! Get the lunch special for $3. Can't beat $32 with lunch anywhere
Awesome
Enjoyed the course very much greens where fast but rolled true
What a course...
It was my first time at legend trail. Didn't know what to expect. Course lay out was nice and some holes are very challenging even though it look easy. Some holes have elevated tee box. Beautiful views. Stumble on a great hot deal - was sure worth it.
Great course
Legend Trail is an excellent course in nice condition, despite the brutally hot summer so far. The pace of play was very slow today, probably due to the special $20 rate going on this summer.
I would rate this course above Estrella Mtn and Rancho Manana, both of which I've played recently.
Well worth the trip up here to far North Scottsdale!
Hot day in July
As always kudos to Legend Trail,the clubhouse, cantina, cart girl, club and cart staff. This is a tough course but extremely fun to play. Holes 2, 4, 7, 11, 13-17. my favorites, almost the whole course. Great time even in high heat. Drink a lot of water.
Best of The Boulders Package
I don't understand your rating then. You seemed to have had a great time, but you give it 1 star?
