Legendary Run Golf Club

About
Golf architect Arthur Hills designed the Legendary Run, an affordable facility that offers country club-caliber golf in spic-and-span surroundings and with what management calls "the friendliest service in the world." Scottish links golf courses inspired the front nine of the golf course, which sits on 200 acres of land and features six lakes, and holes are named accordingly: Troon, St. Andrews and Turnberry, for some examples. It's a different story on the back nine, which weaves through woods and was influenced by holes closer to home, such as those found at Augusta, Winged Foot and Shinnecock.
Book two weeks in advance to ensure you get on for a round on the Legendary Run golf course, and leave your metal spikes at home - there's no reason to worry, as, conditions permitting, you can take your golf cart off the path if necessary. A far cry from Cincinnati's recreational golf courses, this one requires a collared shirt (mock, if you must) and non-denim pants (shorts work, too). The pro shop will dress you if need be.
A bonus for eco-thinking golfers: The Legendary Run counts itself among the members of the Audubon Sanctuary Program and enforces respect of the natural habitat.

Legendary
The course is a nice mix of challenging but fun. Great conditions. Rough has some long stretches but not overly hard. Would recommend to anyone to play.
Legendary always among Cincy's best
Legendary continues to be 1 of the finest public courses on the East side. Excellent conditions for this early in season. From teeboxes to bunkers and greens, way better course conditions than majority in Cincy. Only other course as great right now is Elks Run, another 1 of the finest in Cincinnati. You'll enjoy the updated carts, fully stocked pro shop, spacious and clean clubhouse, excellent food from grill, and super helpful and friendly staff. If you've never been, it's totally worth the trip for an amazing golf experience. Will definitely play Legendary more this year, and considering joining their cost friendly PEP membership only 59/month for tremendous discounts.
Nice Course!
The course was very nice and challenging with speedy greens, lots of slope and some tight windows. The experience would have been better for weekend golfers had the pins not been set on the crest of ridges on so many holes. Some placements made us wonder if the staffer that set them understood the difference it makes when you place nearly all of the holes on ridges and side slopes. All-in-all it’s a great course and much improved over the past two years.
Solid, every day course to play!
Great course on the East side of Cincinnati. Conditions are typically fantastic and the holes are challenging for all levels. Driving range has been upgraded over the past few years, staff is friendly, and the 19th hole is great for tiebreakers. It gets a lot of play but you'll understand why if you play here.
Always a fun round
Great layout. Greens were fast. Couldn’t ask for better conditions for March golf in Ohio! Great course!
Best Christmas present, ever!
I've always wanted to golf year round, but living in Southwest OH makes that nearly impossible every year. Very thankful we're having a "mild winter" and was able to play at one of my favorite golf courses on Christmas weekend. Course was a great shape for this time of year. Only advice I have for those who go out is that you bump and run chip shots around the green. The tundra (aka rough) is too patchy and hard to try and flop; someone in our group just couldn't pick up on that....
Course
Pace of play was super slow because of cart path only. I think when it is cart path nonly you should give a 5 dollar discount. I did more walking yesterday than if I walked the course because of going back and forth. But I love the course and I wish it was better weather conditions.
Horrendous Pace of Play
Just played a 5.5 hour round of golf at Legendary Run. Waited over 10 minutes between each shot with no marshal to be found anywhere on the course on one of the busiest days of the week. Pace of play is consistently very slow at this course and wouldn’t recommend playing here if you are looking to play in a reasonable amount of time.
Inexcusably Slow
The course in itself is well-kept and in Good Condition. This does not make-up for the incredibly, painfully, slow play. Read the reviews and thought that maybe it was the weekend that the slow play reviews were coming from, nope. Played at noon today had to quit after 14 at 4.5 hours into the round. Had I been able to finish it would have been over 5.5 hours to play the round. This is inexcusable.
The assistant professionals and ranger is driving around, but they have no idea how to handle this, they appear not to say anything to anyone... When a group gets out of position you give them 15 minutes to get back to pace, if they can't you make them skip forward to get back into position as to not hold up the rounds of all the other golfers on the course. After you tell the out of position group to move it along you let the groups behind them know that you've told them to speed it up and tell them to keep up to make up for the time.
5.5 hours is a 144 player shotgun round on a Monday. Not midweek regular play. Waiting 10 minutes on almost every hole to hit. Not like you sent 2 4 somes out on every hole, really it ruins the day, and as nice as the course is there are plenty of quality courses in the tri-state that I can't see myself ever wanting to come back.
