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.

Improved Conditions
This course has perked up within the last two weeks. We had three inches of rain, so the fairways are recovering from the cracks of Summer. The greens are 80% recovered from the weed infestation of Sept-Oct.
Good Value
Greens and fairways are poor. Greens have weeds and fairways have some severe cracks in the ground. The course is playable, but I would advise playing after they get 5 inches of rain.
GREAT VALUE
BEST VALUE ON GOLF NOW IN THE DALLAS / NORTH TEXAS AREA
This course needs 5 inches of rain.
The greens are surviving but the fairways are suffering. There are cracks in the ground everywhere. I would recommend waiting until mid-October to play here..
GOOD PEOPLE
PLAYED IN THE RAIN ALL DAY AND HAD A FUN TIME.
PEOPLE RUNNING THE CLUB ARE THE VERY BEST. GO OUT AN PLAY YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME. CHECKOUT THE PRICE FOR GOLF AND CART !
Needs some TLC
The greens were perfect back in June after we had 15 inches of rain, but the Summer has toasted this course. Greens have weeds and the fairways have acute dry cracks. The course is playable but I would recommend waiting until the area has had 3 inches of rain to play.
Course has potential
This course has great potential with layout and such but the greens are unplayable. Do not golf here if you are looking to putt on good greens. If you are looking for a nice time trying new golf shots from the tees and fairway this is a good place to come, not if you are looking to finish holes by putting the ball in the hole with your putter. First review I’ve ever left on here but feel like it had to be done. The Greens are just not playable.
This course could be amazing
This course used to be decent, never great but decent. Every green is filled with weeds, the clubhouse only offers hot dogs and chips. They have a beautiful clubhouse but only utilize the front entrance as the rest of it is just dead space from what it looks like to me. It is a shame with golf getting so popular that they dont just make a move and make this place about the golfers and stop trying to make it a wedding venue. Charging over 50 dollars on the weekend for a course you can't even putt on. Get rid of the bent grass greens if you cant keep up with them or make them work. They have a lot of work to do and from what i seen they are going to run it into the ground.
Needs work
The course used to be nice but the greens have not been kept up. There are weeds all over every green, so putting is not an option unless you like putting through the rough. May return in the winter once the greens have been addressed.
GRAT ROUND
SHOT 68 AND HAD A GEAT TIME. THE CLUB STAFF ARE THE BEST. YOU WILL ENJOY PLAYING TIHE COURSE AND THEY HAVE GREAT MEMBERS.
Worst greens in North Texas
Goose grass goose grass and more goose grass
Nice layout with no on course water or cart girl. That is the start of the mis management. From lack of
Mowing of fairways and rough to total lack of green maintenance. They rolling about a 7 on stamp if you don’t hit goose grass.
Bent grass pasture?
This course would be solid if the greens were Bermuda and taken care of. I believe it’s probably incompetence from the people running the course, but the “bent grass” greens are for a lack of better words, trash. There is more goose grass growing than bent grass because these people don’t know how to manage bent grass in this Texas climate.
The folks there are nice, but they should be offering free rounds to people who agree to pluck goose grass from the greens, instead of charging them the ridiculous rate of $52 for a weekend play with greens in this kind of shape.
Lastly, I feel sorry for the members who get to play here and pay these folks who refuse to fix the problem with these greens. These geeens are 1/10, see pictures.
