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.

Will be back
Course shows lots of promise, had the bad fortune of playing after lots of rain previous day. Lots of standing water, but the layout was good, greens were in decent shape considering the conditions. Place just could use a little TLC and it would be excellent. But, can't say enough about the staff for their friendliness and going out of their way to make sure it was a good day. Like I said will be back and it is worth the drive!
Great Course
Fun layout and the conditions were nice! Greens are great but can be a little slower if you play at other courses. Fun place to play!
EXCELLENT GOLF VALUE
STAFF, COURSE, GREENS AND PACE ON PLAY WERE EXCELLENT. 5 STAR VALUE. THE STAFF WAS FANTASTIC.
HIDDEN GEM
Great Course
Great course to play for the $ Very friendly and helpful staff. Will ve playing here again soon.
Quiet and peaceful
Condition of course was very good a
And greens were excellent. Staff is very friendly. This is my favorite place to play
Great value and customer service
We played Legacy Ridge for the first time. The pro shop attendant was super. He was friendly and helpful. We showed up early and teed off the second group of the day finishing 18 in just under 3 hours. Tee shots on 1 and 2 were blind due to the morning light but the course has a great layout. We will definitely be back. 18 is a great finishing hole as a short par 5 with lots of water.
Good little track especially for the price point
This was my second time playing here in the last couple of months. The front nine was too muddy to play on so I had to play the back nine twice. The greens were in really good shape, but some of the low lying areas were still extremely muddy especially around the greens. Give it a couple more weeks and I’ll be back. This was also my first time taking my twin boys with me to play and they had a great time as the pace of play was perfect.
Course has nice layout.
Course condition is in good shape. They need to fix the bunkers though, most are unplayable and have to lay out of them.
Pleasant surprise
I did not know about Legacy Ridge until recently but plan to put it on my rotation of north Texas courses. Had a hot dog and it's BYOB.
Great course, good value.
The course is in great shape. Greens are very nice even though it looks like they were aerated about a month ago.
I would like to see more "DEAL Times" for this course. DEALS only pop-ups every so often. .
Good Value
Good value during the week, but zero perks. No food and beverage, no Pro or Pro Shop options. This course has cut all of the fluff, not many improvements on the course. All holes need 100, 150, 200 yardage markers in the fairway. A rangefinder is a must to play accurately.
A Tale of Two Nines
This course is like siblings, same parents but can be completely different. The front nine is a Link design with water threating almost every shot, but it still has plenty of fairway for some miss hits, just don't plan on finding your ball if you play a slice or hook very often. The back nine plays to a bit of elevation change on a few holes and is a tighter tree lined track. Shot shaping and course management is key to a good score. The greens were in good shaped and seem to roll pretty good for being a bit thicker than they could be.
