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.

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.

Fun but a bit slow

I know it was a holiday however the pace was a bit slow for my liking. It took about 4.5 hours to play. Otherwise, we really like this course when we visit the area. The course was in good shape for the time of year. Other than pace it was a fun day of golf

Seasonal prep in the works

Always a great course overall. Getting ready for the upcoming season, a little ragged. Still better than some courses in their prime. I can play and enjoy this course anytime.

All the water stations had no water.

Over 100 degrees and all the water coolers were empty. Beer cart girl had left. Inexcusable for summer golf. This course cares and one thing. The almighty $$$

Pace Of Play

I only write this Negative Review cause of the response from the Staff and the group in front of us.

We had a 912 Tee time

The group in front of us was a Father, 2 teenagers and a teenager friend.

On the 4th hole Par 5 they were roughly 300yds in front of us and took their shot so we proceeded to tee off and they drove about 50yds back towards us for them to play their shot. So of course we hit into them and the one teeneager pick up our ball and drove away from us. They were playing from the tips and had no business doing so as the one player could barely make the fairway. We waited 10mins on every tee box and when we mentioned something to the Ranger all he said is pace of play is on schedule. So lets jump forward to the 18th and after the last kid teed off he looked at us and started jawing. So again we waited another 10mins as they hit multiple balls from the fairway and the youngest teen actually walked and moved his ball about 50yds to join the other 2. (Now remember after about 275yds the fairway slops down so its a blind tee shot for long hitters and you cant see the green from tips) so myself and another member of our group bomb the ball only to see the same 2 teens from hole earlier drive backwards and pick up our balls. So we drove our carts to green and thats when all broke lose between our guy and the Dad while all the teens arw egging our buddy on. The Father shoved our guy after our guy slapped his phone of his hand. The Father raised his putter and threatened to hit our guy.

Needless to say the Police had to come.

What im trying to get at is

If a group calls in 3 or 4 times cause of issues or pace of play do something about it. This situation couldve ended up so much worse than it did.

I love this course and I def will NOT bring this friend of mine back ever again but again do something about the issue!

great experience

Everything you want for a superior golf experience. Course conditions from tee to green were a "10" on a scale of 1-10 where 10 is the best. Attention to details from tee markers to water barrels to directions to next tee. Outside staff at bag drop and starter were pleasant and helpful. Golf course was beautiful and you can see that the greenskeeper and staff work hard and are proud of their work. Pro shop and Cantina staff deserve a "10" as well. I will be coming back to play here again.

Great condition

For late summer, course was in great condition. Pace was great. Not a lot of golfers because of the heat. I completed the front 9 in 1.5 hrs. Caught a foursome on the back at hole 16. So slowed a bit then. Staff is always great.

Holy Cow!!

This is a must play plain and simple. Fantastic fairways, tee boxes, greens and yes, bunkers. Staff was tremendous from arrival to departure. Put this course on your must play list if you haven’t had the pleasure.

Great Course!

Even in the middle of summer this course is almost in pristine condition. Greens/traps/fairways are all in great shape. Played 36 holes in 6 hours. Just wish they had GPS in the cart. Special shout out for outstanding service to Quentin in the Pro Shop who kept us going, and to Camden in the cart area who kept our ice full, and just made sure we were good to go out on the course. Will definitely be back! 😀

Really Nice Course

Staff at curbside and Pro Shop really nice. No GPS in cart, round played in 3.5 hours. Very nice beverage lady working. Course is in really great shape throughout. Greens and bunkers very good too. Wouldn’t know this was summer with the condition of the course. Very challenging layout. Would definitely come here again.
