Legacy Ridge Country Club
About
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.

Great Course and Staff
My friends and I had a really good experience here. We had 5 and they let us all play together. There is a lot of water here, but if you play smart, you can easily avoid it. Greens ran a little slow than what I am used to. Only issue I had was not being able to warm up with woods or driver at the range, but I didn’t let that hinder my experience. Definitely worth a play if you are in the area!
Nice country course
Some short par 4s and many holes to score well on . course was in pretty good shape and fun to play
The tale of 2 nines.
The front 9 was in rough shape due to recent flooding. The back 9 was great.
Friendly staff and fun little course
Was my first time playing the course. Driving range hitting area was not the greatest and the course was pretty flooded in the front 9 but it had rained like crazy for the day or two prior to my round.
Front nine had a ton of water hazards to play around. Back nine was very wooded. Was pretty cool to have two totally different feels to the same course.
Would play there again for sure.
Very nice staff
Excessive rain lately must be considered in this review. Fairways were quite tall like rough. Most greens were fine but a couple were in pretty bad condition. Overall condition was below my general speciations. That being said, they were some of the kindest and accommodating staff I have interacted with.
Very nice course
Course is challenging but forgiving, staff was very nice and attentive well worth the money
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.
Great Course & Friendly Staff
Played the course this past weekend and after playing 18 became a member. Cost of membership is very reasonable and the staff are very friendly and go above and beyond to take care of their customers.
