Legends Golf & Country Club

Greens are much improved and getting back to what we expect at Legends. Fairways need some work.

Great place all around, staff super friendly, greens in great shape. No complaints here!

Course is in horrible condition. Have played here several times over the years and can honestly say this looks like it did before it closed last time. Super thin fairways and tee boxes. A lot of bare/dirt spots. Unraked bunkers. Evan mowed “fairways” are just clumps of grass. I realize the heat wave going on but this is by far the worst conditions of any local courses.

Not in the best shape, very nice layout with some challenging holes.

But some TLC is needed.

Great track but the conditions are not good right now. Greens are in good shape but every where else is horrible. Clubhouse closed and no beverage cart. Too many other options in Central FL to accept the current situation at this course.

Fairways and greens showing lack of attention with bare spots, lack of mowing. Course not in what’s typically good conditions.

Also, the restaurant and bar has lost its permit and no food and drinks were available on a hot, sunny day. Unfortunate they didn’t warn us no cart girl available on course so we can plan accordingly.

If going to Legends, plan to pack your own drinks.

Lovely course, well maintained BUT no reliable source of hydration. When Florida is 94 degrees- they have signs prohibiting coolers- BUT no beverage cart- No restaurant- that’s just asking for your patrons to get heat stroke.

Brings down all the course’s ratings.

You could always count on good greens. They are currently a mess. Been punch and sanded twice in the last 6 weeks and they a long way to recover back to their usual condition.

It started pouring rain by the 5th hole, so we decided to stop play and head home. When I pulled up where return carts go, the gentleman inside the garage told me to ask pro-shop for a rain check. So I did! I truly wasn’t expecting that since it was my responsibility to look at the forecast..

However, the golf gods (and staff) showed me mercy!

Thank you Legends,

The greens have been punched and sanded again. Second time in four weeks.

I played here a couple of months ago when they had just done aerification. The greens were in pretty good shape, the holes healing quickly but there was a lot of excess sand on the greens. This go around was worse in terms of leaving excess sand. The good news...all the holes were filled so it wasn't like playing chinese checkers. The sand was fine, and there weren't a lot of bumps. It was just very slow to putt on and the sand prevented a lot of the expected ball movement from contour.

Because my playing partner is in his mid 80s and doesn't hit it very far, he was playing a composite forward tees set. The only problem was that there were still several holes where he would have needed the best part of 100 yards on the fly to reach short grass. If you've trimmed a hole to 250 to 270 to make if playable for shorter hitters, but you're giving them a 100 yard carry off the tee box you're not really making the hole more playable.

I suppose that's a special case and there are only so many things you can do to accommodate players of different levels through different teeing grounds.

I love this course in spite of the above, because it is so unlike most central Florida courses. There is not a lot of water, and almost none of the forced carries are over water. The slope of the fairways, and changes in elevation require not only hitting to a spot, but understanding where the ball will run from there. Very much like links golf.

I'm sure I will be back, because this, and the course across the street are among the only area courses like it. I just wish they could do a better job of keeping it playable after aerification and trust me it can be done. I played a course in Vail the day after they aerated and the greens ran true and were still stimping at about 10.

I play this course 6-7 times a year. Love the layout and conditions were great this week. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Only negative is the carts! Seems like they lock up and make you go in reverse well before the cart signs. Gets to be frustrating to have to slowly back up.

Otherwise, I highly recommend the course.
