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.

Never disappoints

Great course layout. Challenging picturesque tee boxes for the men and friendly tee boxes for the women make this a great experience. The course is very fair and was in great shape. Highly recommended.

Legend Trail after overseed

Course in decent shape after overseed. Greens were very slow, but likely protecting them from heat.

Greens were the only negative

Greens were still exceptionally slow and a little beat up. Would expect a bit more for a $300 round. Outside of this, the course was fun, and well maintained in all other areas.

After overseed

Course is in great condition. The grass is a little long kind of expected after overseed. Staff was very friendly.

Overall disappointment

Course was in terrible condition right before reseeding, but the rates did not reflect it. Definitely not worth the $300 paid for a twosome. Have gone to places that are less than half of that and have been way better.

Disappointing at best

Course was in terrible shape right before reseeding and nothing was said about it. I expected a lot more for $330 for two people. I’ve played courses less than half that price in way better shape.

This course has a snobby feel to it.

I think the course is overrated considering how expensive it is. Also, their computer software does not work well with golf now. Constant check out errors. There always seems to be something they complain about. The latest is I hit some balls after the round and was told you can only hit balls before the round. Like come on. How petty can you get? There are just too many good golf courses out there that do not treat you like that. As they take your hard earned money, they act like it is a priviledge for you to play there, rather than they are happy you are there.

Good shape and good value for August golf

Greens ran a tad slow, but were smooth and consistent. Fairways, bunkers and transition areas were all in very good shape. Front side is quite a bit more open so pace of play was quick. Back nine is tighter with more blind tee shots; couple that with back to back par 5’s and things got painfully slow. Being severely backed up, had threesome roll up behind our foursome on the back and started yelling at us to hurry. Had to call pro shop to have Ranger come out to talk to the threesome. After the 16th hole the threesome decided to head to the clubhouse, after which, one of the players confronted a member of our group in the parking lot. Note: beware of mid 60’s blue shirt golfer with bad swing playing a yellow ball. He runs a bit hot. Aside from that, enjoyed the round.

Course doesn't like Hot Deals

I like this golf course. However, they have a unfriendly attitude towards hot deals bookings. We arrived 30 minutes before our hot deals tee time. The course was empty, but the staff wouldn't allow us to start until the actual tee time. We usually book tee times via hot deals, and we've never run into this policy at any other golf course. They did say we could start right away if we "paid the difference" between and hot deal rate and their rack rate. No thanks.
