Legends Golf & Country Club

Except for the Clermont/Mt. Dora area, most Florida courses are about the strategic use of water to force certain lines of play. Legends, like others in this area relies more on sloping fairways and changes in elevation. The greens and tee boxes are in good shape. Although, for their contours, some of the greens need to play a bit slower to be fair. One of my playing partners hit a putt from 50 feet to the upper shelf of the green, missed the top of the ridge by a couple of feet and had the ball roll back to within a couple of steps from where he started. That's a bit penal for amateur golf. It would also help if the speed on the practice green bore any resemblance to the speed on the course (of course it also doesn't help that most of the practice green is sloped away from where you approach it, while most of the greens are slopped towards the front).

Fairways are kept very short. So short unfortunately that a little frost in January/February has left some sizeable bare areas where the grass was killed by the frost. The short fairways allow for a lot of roll. Nice on a downhill, but less so on a sidehill. I may go back in the late summer to see if they have recovered.

I like this course, as it is one of the more challenging courses in the area. There is water, rolling hills, and elevation changes that make for a challenging round of golf.

The staff is very friendly. Great carts with GPS and the onsite restaurant is very good.

As for condtions....The tee boxes were awful on the front side, and improved on the back. Fairways were, well, just fair and the greens were in decent shape.

I got a great Hot Deal on this so I can not complain, but I would not have been happy to pay the full daily rate and had tee boxes without grass.

Typically a very nice course but very disappointed in the course today.

The newer greens were excellent. The tees and fairways were subpar

The course wasn’t to bad other than the ragged areas in the fairways and tee boxes, greens were fine though!

The front 9 fairways were really thin, but it wasn’t a game changer if you just place your ball on some nearby grass. The back 9 fairways were better. All the tee boxes were trash, which didn’t matter to me until I got to the par 3s. The tee boxes really affected my shots on the par 3s. I found myself trying to avoid the sand and would hit the top half of the ball. The greens were great. Overall, the conditions were acceptable. I love the layout at Legends so it was still a good time on the course.

Course needs rest and recovery time. Fairways need grass. The rough is full of weeds. Layout is solid. Greens are solid. Tee boxes, fairways and rough need attention.

The tee boxes were bare raw otherwise the course was in good shape

10 minutes from my house was so happy when my “home course” opened back up. Chris in the clubhouse is always awesome.

Now for the course. Will be amazed if it makes it through the summer. 1st way overpriced for conditions. 2nd Never over seeded and just spread manure as fertilizer this winter to grow grass…guess what…it did NOT work! Zero grass in most of fairways and tee boxes are ground under repair. Greens are full of ball marks and inconsistent. I should have left after looking at fairway from dirt box prior to teeing off. Pace of play was awesome with 7:30 tee time…perhaps everyone else already knew what I am writing.

So disappointing and so sad. Course is being run into the ground. Hate to see it happen but it is a waste of $$$. Should be $30 absolute tops.

A 45 minute drive for me, but I always liked this place. A little worn in some fairway spots...greens were real nice.

Fairway's and tee boxes were poor. Main dirt spots. Had to play preferred lies often to find grass. The putting green was impressively quick, the greens were healthy, but slow. Very disappointed to not have the grass range open. Unsure why not. The mats were poor quality. Course has a lot of potential with money and TLC. Staff was friendly.

Course needs a little work, but overall good shape.
