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.

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.

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!!

Nice value

We were only able to play the back nine because of the rain that occurred the previous evening. However, I like the course layout. The holes are interesting and relatively well maintained. Greens have bent grass so roll fine when Bermuda is dormant. Clubhouse staff is very pleasant. We got the six dollar deal for a hotdog, a bag of chips and a soda after around and sat in their bar. If you’re looking for a high-end service intensive country club, this isn’t your place. However, if you looking for a very nice family run golf course to play in the Bonham area, then give it a try. We will come back again and look forward to playing the front nine this next time. And, you’re welcome to BYOB!

The Worst Course in North Texas!

Ok, let's start with the range. $10 for a large bucket of balls for a range that stops at 200 yards. You can't hit woods and drivers out there! Terrible. Next, don't expect a pro shop. If you need balls, they have a decent selection, but I didn't check the prices.

The front 9 is not forgiving, they are fairly narrow, and you cannot miss left or right on any hole. Frankly, what made the front 9 difficult was the inconsistently cut fairways, roughs, and greens. Every hole was a crap shoot on how the ball would play. Greens were in decent shape for early spring, though some were overtaken by clovers on the back nine.

The first 3 holes of the back nine were by far my favorite but were ruined by the log jam of groups in front of us. Which brings me to probably my biggest complaint, there is no one there to enforce the rules or pace of play. Ready golf was a foreign concept to the groups in front of us. Holes 10-14 resulted in 15+ minute waits on every tee box and approach shot. We had enough at hole 15, packed it up and called it quits.

There was very little food options, so pack a lunch. I do want to say that the ladies at the desk were very kind and I have no complaints against them. I hope the owners/managers of this course read this. We will never make the drive to Bonham for golf again and I suggest no one else does either!

Good round

The course is in good condition for February. Greens are good. Fairways need to some time and water. It was cart path only so play was slow and soggy. It was hard to find the ball in the brown fairways.

Winter golf at its best

This course is not an Italian supermodel, but it does have good bones with a great layout of links in the front nine along with parkland golf on the back nine.

It was a little soggy today playing, but the course was wet and moist.

Greens ran true today, but were slower than normal.

Great course with beautiful scenery

This is a great course with beautiful scenery. I played my round in three hours by myself, and it was a perfect day.

The staff is really great and welcoming. It's one of my new favorite courses in North Texas.

Great course layout and easygoing round.

I was the first one out as a solo at 8am which

I played in 3 hours 10 minutes. Great atmosphere with the distinct layout of links on the front and woodlands on the back nine.

The greens were decent and the short stuff could use a little tlc in some places. However, this is my new favorite course as I was totally alone at times without a care in the world. I’ll be back again.

Good solid course and fun.

I like this course. It is very basic tee-green. Greens are bent grass and they have perked back up from the long hot summer. This course is prone to slow play because the country folk that plays here are in no hurry to do anything. Expect a 4-5 hour round even during the week.
