South/North Golf Course at The Legends of Massillon

If you're a single and going to this course because you can get a great rate, make sure that you're fine playing by yourself. The starters will try to send you out alone, before or after your assigned tee time, but will not give you the option to play with the threesome that you should be matched up with via GOLFNOW.

I don't like playing by myself. I get bored after three or four holes. That's why, when my friends can't play, I look for GOLFNOW tee times where there are already two or three golfers signed up. I get to meet new people and almost always have a fun round. But at this course, they just don't seem to want this to happen. I won't be going back.

The course was in excellent condition and the weather was perfect. Low seventies, sunny.

I'm writing this review because it's often disappointing how starters, or even those at the desk, handle golfers from GolfNow or other online tee-time providers.

I was a single, the fourth and last to purchase a 12:40 tee time from GolfNow. The guy at the desk inside understood this just fine. But when I got outside to see the starter, my name was not on his list. It took a little while to get him to understand things, but we worked it out. The threesome in my group was not yet there - and were of course unknown to me - so I kept close to monitor new arrivals.

The starter, though, disappeared for 10-15 minutes while it was very busy, so he didn't match me up with my group when they arrived. The Legends is a 27-hole layout with groups starting off of three spots, and the people I was supposed to play with got to the tee without me.

It was lucky that, just before they tee'd off, the starter finally returned to tell me this, but only after I asked him. I caught up with them in time, enjoyed their company, and had a good round.

This sort of thing, though, happens too much when getting online tee times. It's usually just me with one buddy or me alone and we generally need to be paired up with another group. We understand that, and enjoy it, but too often the course employees don't seem to handle the meshing of these groups, people that don't even know what each other looks like, very well.

Perhaps some words could be passed on to those whose jobs it should be to do this, to do it a little better.

If you have a slice like mine, you better bring a ball retriever, or just plan on losing a few in the water. Great course to play, well maintained.

Got a $10 rate on golfnow, so decided to give this course a look. Very pleasantly surprised at the course, layout, and conditions. Greens were fast and rolling, fairways in great shape, traps, as most courses nowadays, need work ( minimal sand).

Overall, a very nice course, with many beautiful homes around its perimeter. Definitely would play the course again

The course has gotten a lot of water lately and the greens were holding very well. Unfortunately, people have been extremely bad at repairing their pitch marks so the greens were a pock-marked mess. They still rolled quite fast but not very true.

The course is generally pretty open and scenic and everything aside from the greens was well-maintained. Pace of play was pretty slow but, then again it was a holiday so I can't blame the course for that.

This course makes it ideal for the thinkers. One of the 5 loveliest courses in Stark County.

Great course with plenty of character that makes you think and use just about every club in the bag

course is very nice bunkers need some work.Fairways and greens are in great shape

It was very wet due to the inordinate amount of rain, but it was apparent what a nice track this is. It was difficult but playable.

good overall course I found the greens to be a little hard and fast. Other then that the course is good.

Just need a ranger to keep groups moving or allowing others to play through. Otherwise, great course for the money.

Great course and condition of turf grass is superb. Although $40 for 18 holes and a cart is a bit steep for the area. Prices in the Massillon Canton area should all be under $40 for any course. There are no jobs in the area and would get more play if prices were a bit more affordable.

An execllent course with above average length of the rough. This course will penalize you if you are not an accurate golfer off of the box. There were multiple times that my ball was just a few feet off of the fairway and I could not find my ball and had to take a drop. This shouldn't happen but with this course the rough length is treacherous.

The pace was slow for my pace, the course recommends two hours and 10 min. but I played through three groups. But groups were cooperative. The greens were wonderful.

For how much rain we had the greens was not soft and rolled nicely. Course was kept up pretty nice for all the rain it had.

Course was in great shape this early in the year given the bad winter and spring thus far. Greens not grown in yet but were rolled and putts rolled ok. Definitely held shots. Overall Legend's is a course that can be relied upon to deliver a decent round of golf every time. Pace was great and it was busy Sunday when we played. No pressure from behind and we waited on exactly one tee for a par-3 green to clear.

ALWAYS ENJOY PLAYING THIS COURSE, UNFORTUNATELY PLAYED IT THIS TIME JUST AFTER THE AERATION WAS DONE, CAUSING A VERY POOR PUTTING DAY. LOVE TO PLAY THE SOUTH NEXT TIME, PLAYED THE EAST AND THE NORTH THIS TIME.

It requires course management to have a good round.

No way nine holes should take 3 hours on this course. Never saw a ranger and the group of 4 in front of us waited on every shot due to a threesome in front of them and who knows what was in front of that ridiculously slow group. For crying out loud it was a Tuesday not a Saturday!!

Tees and fairways were a little sparse in some areas. Fairways were lush and well groomed. Greens did not hold well but did putt true. My buddy and I played three balls each so we got a good feel for the greens.

Only played the East course due to time constraints. Starter was sympathetic and offered to let us play that nine again since it was not as crowded and the problem groups had turned to the North course.

Staff was cordial and helpful but the need some rangers with guts enough to move play along. The ridiculous time of play is the reason I would not recommend this course and the reason I will not go back even at $13 for 18 holes!!

HARDLY ANY SAND IN BUNKERS.CART PATHS ARE BAD.PARKING LOT IS TERRIBLE.STAFF WAS VERY NICE.GREENS WERE SMOOTH AND FAST! COURSE JUST NEEDS SOME TLC.
