Bonham’s newest golf course has the natives all excited about their new Bill Johnston design, created to serve as the centerpiece of a unique residential community. With the benefit of several unique landscapes at his disposal, Johnston built a front nine that starts high and weaves through lakes and waterfalls, smoothly transitioning into a parkland-style route highlighted by pecans and oaks.

The par 5 No. 9 stands out on the front, taking you back up the ridge with an approach shot into an almost cliffside green nestled against the lake.

The wetlands of Bois d’ Arc Creek line the back nine fairways, keeping water in play most of the nine. Johnston made this one fun with multiple approach shots over water, including one par 3 that plays into an island green.

Do what you can to work your way onto this course, because it’s rare to experience such a quality course in such an enjoyable, rural setting.

Getting there : From McKinney, take US 75 north to the Bonham 121 exit. Hwy. 121 merges into Hwy. 56 south of Bonham. Turn right on Hwy. 82 E.

Greens are the best part

Hard to find bent grass greens now days. A pleasant surprise. They were better on the back nine, mainly due to front is built in a flood plain/swamp. Found it to be very overgrown around the edges and snakes were a threat. Front nine was very soft in the early morning as footprints and dents were visible everywhere. Back nine more of a parkland layout. Overall a good time that met my expectations. Short par 5s. Helpful to have someone along to describe where to hit. 3 stars, which could of been 4 if not concerned about snakes and overgrowth.

Great Day at Legacy Ridge

Children and I had a great day at Legacy Ridge. The greens were in great shape as well as the fairways when I hit them. Such an interesting course with the two different 9's. Would highly recommend!

New favorite

This place is pretty far from any major city, so be prepared for the drive. I very much think that the drive is worth it. The clubhouse isn't all that impressive, but the man behind the counter was very courteous and handed me a course guide that came in very handy. I signed up for an early tee time and was the first to tee off. The first 2 holes face east, so be prepared to search for your drive.

The course itself was very well maintained. A couple of the greens had several ball marks, but most were good. The fairways were well kept. Starting off, you notice several creeks running through the front nine. Water is in play for 8 of the front 9, but most don't cause any real issues unless you are way off. There are not many trees, but there are bunkers around most greens.

Going to the back 9, this is where the course earns its stripes. Starting off the back 9, you have a large pond to cross with several trees lining the landing zone. Most tee boxes and fairways are lined with trees creating some breathe-taking views. My personal favorite was the par 3 #16. After climbing up a stone stairway to the elevated tee box, you have to hit a longer iron over a 150 yard pond onto a small green protected by trees and bunkers.

I would go to this course every week if it were closer, and the price is very affordable. A very enjoyable round of golf.

A very relaxing round of golf

The course was in good condition, the greens had been recently punched, but still rolled good. The staff were all very friendly, the back nine was very quiet and peaceful, can't wait to play again.

Overall very good condition

3rd time playing there in 3 months - each time I played a bit better. Nice condition of fairways, rough, and greens. Not too many sandtraps. Generous fairway landing areas. Reasonable rates.

Excellent value

I drove past Legacy Ridge for several years before I has the chance to play it and never realized what I was missing. The course is very well maintained, and the greens are always in excellent condition. One of the best things about Legacy Ridge is that the front and back nines are so different it's like playing two different courses. My only complaint is that I frequently encounter players who do not follow course etiquette and there are no Marshalls to keep play moving. Overall, I highly recommend it and think it is one of the best courses I have played anywhere for the money.

Lots of water, great greens

Played alone on a Wednesday morning, and finshed in 2 hours 10 minutes. Better hit them straght, water in play on at least one side of the fairway on the front nine, most have water on both sides. Greens and fairways were good. Good value for the money. Hit it straight or bring a lot of balls. Back nine much easier. Would definitiely play again when in Bohnam.
