Water close to many of the greens

It's a challenging course- not many trees to stay between, but there are plenty of bunkers, along with many water hazards. With wind and uphill greens, needing 3 extra clubs can be common.

Slow play

Course was challenging with a nice layout. Pace of play was extremely slow. Tee times staked together. If you do not have a foursome expect to be golfing with strangers! We where matched with a single as where the threesome infront and behind us.

Variety

Depending on the tee box you play , it can be a brute especially when the wind is up. Some forced carries can be tough. It is a little pricy but they have specials as a web site subscriber, that is if you get them sent to you, they have some administration issues to remedy..

Good looking course

Good looking course that will kick your butt 10 through 15 are extremely demanding holes. The staff was great. The course needs some work, but they are working on it. All in all you should give it a chance. If your a resident, they have a great deal for 35.95 a month, 3 courses, cart fee only,

Well Worth Playing

This is not your cookie cutter course and, if you want to score, you will need a strategy to avoid the numerous sand and water hazards.Don't expect to play a 3 1/2 hour round. We saw the ranger 5 times and he was pushing the slower groups to keep the pace moving. We finished in 4 1/4 hours. The greens were slow overall and a few of the greens needed minor repairs. Overall conditions were good, especially for a public course that gets a lot of play.

Great Course

One of our favorite courses to play in the area. Layout and features very fun. Each hole has its own features.

Good Deal

This one of the most challenging courses in the area. The overall condition is above average for daily fee course. Plenty of grass on the fairways and the greens are smooth rolling at 8.5 to 9. The overseeing has taken very well.

Players still need a little education on etiquette it would help if they fixed ball marks, divots and raked bunkers.

Breakfast and lunch were great and the was very pleasant. Definitely recommend.

Condition Improved, Pace Has Not

Course was in reasonable condition, a bit wet because they in the process of over-seeding. Greens were a bit fuzzy, but rolling 8-9 and generally true. However, the round took 5 hours and we did not see a ranger all day. That is not my idea of fun, so I will not be back until I see some reviews saying they have this under control.

Played Legacy recently and although I think that it is an excellent choice let me tell you that I will never play it again for the following reasons. Pace of play was atrocious. Most holes we had to wait from 5 to 10 minutes to tee off. This started on the first hole and never let up. When you look ahead and behind you and see 2 or 3 groups then you know that it is not going to get any better.

I have played many rounds but have never experienced a golf course that has full sprinklers on during the round. You hit the middle of the fairway but can't play the ball due to the torrential downpour. On the holes where the sprinklers were off, the ground was completely saturated and every shot produced that nice muddy look on your clothes.

New management? Good luck getting repeats. Worst golf experience ever. Two free beers. Not worth it. Get it together.
