Legacy Golf Club sits on 28 acres of Dwight B. Heard's turn-of-the-20th-century ranch, home to 1902 silos that decorate the 18th fairway - once the tallest manmade things in Maricopa County. More history is on the first tee, in the Sierra Vista House which counts among its early-1900s visitors Theodore Roosevelt and Pancho Villa.

Gary Panks designed the golf course at the Legacy Golf Club, giving it lush fairways, strategic hazards and manicured greens to test all golfers. Native flora grows from the landscape, and the club's elevation offers a vista of Camelback Mountain, Squaw Peak and the skyline of Phoenix.

Must Play

This course is about golf! Great practice facilities and the course conditions were great. If I had a criticism it would be the sand traps. Seem to lack depth consistency. Some traps were deep in sand some thin .Also, it’s not so much about the views because of the houses and streets (little noisy). But like I said , it’s about the golf” and it was great.

Good overall

Course was well maintained. Some of the tee boxes were a a little rough with to many divots. Pace of play was 30 minutes (per GPS on the cart) behind when we finished at 4:40 PM.

Staff members are incredible!

This is a great course, practice facility and outdoor dining facility. Experience it all for a great day of golf. Course is in good shape, the greens are in great shape. Only issue is the bunkers, some have great sand but others are just dirt. Fix this and you have an A rating. The staff are extremely nice, from the pro shop to the ranger, this is a down to earth group that understand we are all there to have a great day. Course layout is excellent I would golf here again and I actually did😂. Keep it up legacy you’re doing a great job!

18 at Legacy

Bag drop was easy. I was a single playing with a threesome. We got of on time at 1:00 and pace of play was good. Stay on the fairways on this course. The grass on the sides was so thick I could hardly hit out of it. Traps are deep and inconsistent. We saw they were adding sand. Phoenix had record rain this November. Greens were fast and true. This is a well maintained course and very scenic. Lots of rolling fairways with fairways traps. I shot my handicap so I was happy.

Always appreciate the Legacy

My husband and I play the Legacy every November when we visit Phoenix. We love the layout, the practice facilities, the friendly staff (cart girl was adorable and very efficient), and the condition of the course. Our only complaint was that two of the four players ahead of us were obvious beginners, and their shots were 50 yards at best, which was evident right away on Hole #1. We did mention this to the starter and then again to a ranger on Hole #4, but as far as we could see, nothing was said to the foursome. It makes one wonder why beginners would choose the Legacy, which, for those of us playing off the forward tees, is 5471 yards, which is a long track even for those of us who play a lot. We barely got our game in, considering our tee time was 12:44, but we didn't tee off until 1:00, and then waited every hole.

Slow play

I Teed off at 1:50pm and didn’t even get to finish the round. The marshall was very nice teeing off and assured us he would be around but didn’t see him once to speed up play. Paying just south of 80$ I am pretty bummed not to finish. Course was pretty weather was nice but if you are looking for a sub 4 1/2 hr round this is not the place.

Fantastic Course

It was a great day. Rain a couple weeks ago played havoc with the sand traps. But other than that, the course was in nice shape. It was a great day to play golf. Hats off to the starter and bag guys. They were very welcoming and helpful.. thanks for a great day.
