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.

Legend trail was great

Course and staff were great! But golf pass is not. Can’t use golf pass gift cards. Don’t buy them from Costco, they don’t work

Legend trails

Very nice course. Good conditions considering just finished overseed. First part of the course is fairly straightforward but then the course routing becomes varied and interesting. Worth a visit.

Legend Fail: Tale of the Senior Flex

Don't get it twisted folks, Legend Fail may have the Scottsdale zip code and the nice geography, but this place is more akin to a Sun City Old Folks Pitch and Putt.

Got paired with a cranky local woman who lives in the area and plays only Legend Trail, She was convinced we could get a 2.5 hour round in and played at a pace more akin to speedgolf, Only problem being there was a full tee sheet of other bozos looking to play a 7 hour round. The strangest rushed-slow round I've ever played.

While it's 6800 from the tips, this course was designed for the tees under 5500 total. Want to feel like you hit your driver like Bryson, just play legend trail! Every fairway with any sort of bend runs out at like 260.

If you want the north Scottsdale experience save a few war bonds and go play Troon North or the Boulders.

Did not play. Tee-off "system" switched the date!

I can assure you I carefully selected Thursday 10/10 at the time I booked the tee time. I was provided Wednesday 10/9 on my confirmation which I did NOT carefully review. It was only after receiving this review request that I discovered the discrepancy. I contacted your customer service department and Zoe provided me with 4 - $20 promo codes.

This "system switch" happened only one other time several years back, however that time was able to catch the error and contact your customer service area immediately. I will definitely scrutinize my bookings going forward.

Not happy with the fact this error cost me $ s and a golf game today.

Worst Course in Scottsdale Area

Legend Trail is by far the worst course in the area, slow play, poor conditions, extremely rude staff. There are so many better courses in the area. Don't waste your time and money here.

Fairways are dead grass, some bunkers need more sand.

Over seeding to start soon, but the course was in poor shape.

So this is a fantastic layout. Course is very, very dry as they get ready for overseed. Still a fun play as green and traps are in good shape.
