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.

Goat ranch
I have a hard time accepting the fact that we paid $40 per player to play this course. It looks very rundown and like no one is taking care of anything. The rough was literally 5 to 6 inches tall And we had many lost balls because it was so deep, the greens had weeds all over them, hole number 13 In particular had a 8 inch strip carved into the green that went from one end to the other, None of the waterfalls were working as in the pictures on the website.. The tea boxes were not even tea boxes with several of them under construction. Literally, my front yard at my house was in better condition than this course. Honestly I feel that they sank all their money into the golf carts, which was without a doubt, the best part of the experience. This course has definitely made do not come again List!
Very disappointing!
Nice little spot
If you haven’t play in Bonham before please do, offers a challenge links style front 9 and a traditional back 9. Course is in good shape for July, tee boxs and greens in good shape with plenty of water to keep you honest. Always like playing the course and was glad I booked the tee time.
This place needs a mowing
The front nine is Hairy long as in a beard that needs trimming. It is hard to find your ball even when it lands in the fairway. Back nine is OK.
Caution - front nine is over grown
I like this course. Played it 06/12 but only the back. Front was closed due to flooding. This week both sides are open and the front is almost unplayable. The rough is so high you can not find your ball, I would recommend 'deal time' only through the end of the month and only play the back nine.
Great Value
$45.00 for a Sunday afternoon round! I have paid twice that at a number of other courses only to deal with unfriendly staff. Because of the recent rains there are some areas that are behind a proper cut but the course is still a challenge. The staff went out of their way to be helpful.
Great Deal
Greens are perfect and pace of play was good. Great mid-week round.
Back 9 was excellent
Front 9 still drying out but from view off it it’s going to be in great condition also. It was closed. I think the want it to be good before it’s open again! Staff was very friendly
Fun course
First time to play this course. We played the back 9 twice, due to the front 9 being flooded. Have had severe weather in that area recently. It is a great track. The greens and fairways are in great shape. Lots of trees call for some precise shots off the tee box. Staff was very friendly, will definitely be back to play the entire course.
Good and cheap track for the money
She’s not the flashiest, or the most sparkling jewel in the area. However, my son and I love coming here due to the pace of play, staff friendliness, the bang for our buck along the challenges of the course.
The front nine had been closed more than open this year due to the copias amounts of rain. It’s a link style front nine with a parkland wooded feel to the back nine. It could use some more TLC, but she fits our budget and expectations just fine. I’ll be back next weekend. Thanks LR.
Nice Day
Beside the front nine been closed, We had an excellent golf outing in the back nine, excellent pace and green in pretty good conditions.
Staff always nice , friendly and accommodating to the golfers needs.
Lousy Course
Really poor course conditions. I purchased a hot deal for an 11:30 tee time. I picked up the cart at the club house and was told by the Marshall/clubhouse staff to come back in once the air horn blew for stormy weather coming. My buddy and I reached the 4th hole where we attempted to hit our approach shots, only to be rudely interrupted by the clubhouse worker demanding that we put our clubs up and follow him immediately. However , rather than the gentleman doing as he said he would (blow the air horn for weather delays), he decided to talk down to two golfers and ask us if “we needed hearing aids to notice the thunder”. So I’m going to attempt to get a refund due to an incomplete round and inexcusable disrespect from the courses staff. There’s about a handful of halfway decent courses in the Grayson county area, very slim pickings! But I can guarantee you that I will not be giving this establishment my money anymore.
Amazing course
Amazing people
Fair price for what all you get
Beautiful greens
Course is very kept up well
Love it
Great place to play. Great pple and a good fairways with nice greens. Love the that they put ice out for there customers to for there drinks. Keep up the good work guys!
Needs work
Sand traps and tee boxes need a lot of work. Lots of weeds on the fairway. The green need to be rolled. Workers there were very nice and pleasant. Course has a lot of potential just needs some work
Great layout, Good value.
Yesterday was my first experience playing Legacy Ridge CC. My son and I enjoyed our afternoon at the course. My thoughts from start to finish:
1. Great layout and overall a good value.
2. Driving range turf thin and well worn.
3. Front nine was described as more of a links style course with plenty of water lining several fairways.
4. Back nine heavily treed and very pretty. A few of the back nine greens had a fair amount of poa annua grass.
5. The course was not terribly hard which should be a plus for plus for higher handicap golfers.
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and the staff was super helpful to us newbies. We’ll definitely play the course again. Thanks Legacy Ridge!!
