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.

Nice overall experience

I was the first group out (6:45) so the course should have been as good as it gets all day. Tee boxes were average (some were uneven, others had blotches of grass and dirt). Fairways were as close to perfect as could be expected for a public course. Greens were a bit slow, and had more than a few ball marks either unrepaired or repaired poorly.
Overall the course was in good shape for this time of year.

Rude staff and slow play

First time playing here and found the starter to be extremely rude insisting we had to play certain tees due to ability rather than recommending. Also hurrying us up telling us we were taking too long to tee off when we were actually early on the tee box.

Round took over 5 hours and found ourselves waiting on thee tee box for 10 minutes every hole. This started from the 4th hole onwards and the marshals did nothing to try and speed up play.

We saw the cart girl on the 3rd hole and despite the slow pace of play did not see her again til the 17th long after we wanted refreshments.

Course was good and challenging but the whole round was spoiled by rude staff and extremely slow play.

A "Must Play" course

This course is in wonderful condition, the greens are as good as anywhere I've ever played. The different tee boxes offer a pleasant round for every level of player. You won't be disappointed here.

Favorite Course

The course is awesome, we love it, but they really need to get yardage markers on sprinkler heads. Also, even install 100, 150, and 200 yard markers. Right now there isn't anything out there.

Varied challenge

Just out of overseed and the course is in great condition. Rough is long and difficult to play out of at times. Greens are undulating and difficult - a good challenge.

Great course in Phoenix area

Really nice course about 30 mins north of Scottsdale. Back nine is definitely more challenging than the front, but both nines played very well. Lots of tee-box options which was good for the variety of skill level of players in our group.

Always a nice place to play...

Course was recently over seeded, and cart path only, but the conditions were excellent, and pace of play was good (even with cart path only).

Nice Course

Only two days after reopening following seeding so greens were a little slow, but the course was in great shape. Good challenging course. Sand in bunkers which is not often the case out here. Requires carry off the tee and accurate tee shots on some holes.

Beautiful and challenging

A little of everything. Some up and down hills and dog legs. Several holes with forced carries so you need to play from the correct tees to enjoy the round. My wife and I played as a twosome , never caught the single in front and only saw another twosome behind us on 17.

Great desert course at a great value

Amazing how well they have been able to keep the conditions of the golf course with the limited rain we have had this summer. Fairways were in really good shape and greens were very good as well.

Hopefully you have a GPS Rangefinder

Very nice course in good condition. I'm not sure why but other than 150 yard stakes, yardage markers are virtually non-existent.
