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.

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.

Play if you can

One of the best courses in north Scottsdale that isn’t fully private. Competes with troon and boulders and all of them. Got a deal for 28.99 and I would have paid more. Green fairways, great greens, fantastic practice area. Only thing I get picky about is having to share a cart. They told me I might have to, but I didnt. But just knowing you might have to share a cart with someone is outrageous in 2024. There was absolutely no one out there and it slows down play 100%. I won’t be back as a single during high season for that reason, just can’t believe great courses like this are sticklers about carts while you’re paying a premium if you don’t get a deal. Top track for sure don’t let that turn you away

Great Course for the Money!

Second very enjoyable round at Legend Trail, First with my son and this with my good friend! Pace of play was outstanding on both accounts! Ranger talked to 3 some ahead of us that we caught on the 5th hole, they sped up their play and we never waited again. Truly enjoyed both rounds, course is in great shape and pace of play was phenomenal! Will look to you in the future, please keep your rates where they are. Fair price for a very solid golf course!!! Steve

Heat was brutal, coarse was outstanding

This course was the best I've seen this summer, most in the metro area are rough, patchy grass, lots of dirt, greens are bumpy, this course was best so far his summer.
