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.

First time

First time on this course I enjoyed it very much very open with great Par 5s. The layout is amazing the really used the natural lay of the land to make this course there is plenty of water hazards. The only dislike were the greens it looks like they are recovering from an infection so they are bumpy but still better than other courses I have played.

Bonham Little Rough Gem

Fun course layout and friendly staff. Amenities and clubhouse are a bit underwhelming but the carts are in great shape. The greens need a bit of work but they seems to be trying to earn your business. The front and back 9 are like 2 separate courses and I've always appreciated that about Legacy Ridge. Keep improving guys, and I'll keep showing up.

Tough putting

Most of the greens were difficult to putt on due to bald patches and small weeds. Some of them looked like the surface of the moon. Tee boxes in good shape and nice fairways. Alot of pretty straight holes. I will go back when the weather is warmer and try it again.

Tremendous Potential

First of all, let me just say that the only reason that I didn't give this course a higher rating is because the course is not in great shape right now. Some of the greens are a little bumpy and some of the fairways and other areas of the course could use some work, but it was still playable. I drove almost 2 hours from my home to get there, and I was a little disappointed in the overall condition of the golf course, but not deterred from playing it. This golf course has the potential to be one of the most beautiful and challenging golf courses in North Texas. I even thought about what I could do with it if I hit the lottery and bought it, I would shut it down for a year and put a couple of million dollars worth of work into it, and when I opened it up next February, people would be lined up down the freeway trying to get a tee time to play it. I realize that it takes a lot of money to run a golf course and keep it in great condition, but you don't just throw a diamond ring in the trash because it got a little dirty!!! You polish it and wear it! This could be a 5 star diamond 💎. I look forward to coming back and playing it again in the future, I just hope that they are able to polish up this diamond a little more.

Great place to play Golf

I 've played Legacy ridge many times this year and have never had any regrets. Staff is great, course is always in very good shape considering the weather we've had. This is one of my favorite places to play in N/E Texas.

Big course feel for good price in rural country town. Approx 45-1hr from most Far North Dallas Suburbs

Played for first time on Monday 12.30.2024.

Location - Although an hour drive from Plano/Allen/Mckinney it is an easy country drive once you head east of I-75.

Food/ Concessions - Had 9:30 tee time.

***Suggest taking your own food snacks*** No Cart person on staff. Or at least a quick option on the turn. When approaching the 9th hole I was excited to make the turn and replenish with a snickers/coke, or something easy and quick. When I reached the clubhouse at the turn to find no "quick" option to get anything before having to continue my round. The staff was there helping others and no one in the grill area to help. The course needs to improve in this regards.

They need one person dedicated to just snack and drinks. Or at the very least a vending machine would suffice. Especially when the golf course is full with foursomes thats easy cash revenue for the clubhouse.

Price - Compared to the green fees costs to in town courses I felt it was a great value for a full round during the holidays.

Course:

I played day after big rain and it was still water logged in many areas. It was very windy

(TX winter golf). With the large amount of rain the day before the course was still very

playable. Although not much ball roll due to wet fairways and it did require a need for free

drop away from standing water/mud, etc. on some holes. (still playable)

Depending on which tees your hitting from there are water hazards on or near almost every hole on front nine. OB didn't seem to come into play for me.

Greens are fairly patchy and I would considere them below avg right now. It looks to be Bent-Grass with really good potential of being really great in a future seasons. Right now, almost every green has some visible area with fairly large areas patchy spots. On a handful of holes it did affect some 10' or less putts.(bumpy) It looked like all the greens are still in recovery mode from a prior infection to the greens but also considering it is Dec/Jan it should improve once into the warmer months. With that said the greens were super soft which helped stopping the ball on the green when hitting approach shots.

Good times! I will be back!

Great layout - off season conditions

The layout for this course rivals high-end country clubs that rewards accuracy and punishes errant shots. Unfortunately, the greens were in need of repair but overall the experience was well worth the 75 minute drive from the Frisco/Prosper area. Having the cart included and the BYOB rule makes this course a fantastic value.
