Honoring the wishes of Lela and Charles Hilton, Legacy Golf Club is named in honor of their beloved son "Chip." He started playing daily at age 9 with a genuine love and excitement for the sport. He was on the Bay High School golf team, apprenticing with golf pro-Kenny Lind and made golf his vocation. As a professional golf instructor, he taught his students invaluable life lessons, emphasizing that golf is not a game of perfection but a comeback. He also believed golf was more than just a game; it was full of essential life skills such as patience, perseverance, determination, and overcoming obstacles and setbacks.

The golf club, established in 1965, is a championship course with challenging greens designed to test golfers with even the sharpest short-game skills. The fairways are generously sized with lakes and white sand bunkers that fiercely guard the elevated greens. Players should be prepared to use every club in their bag. The golf course is challenging but fair and enjoyable, making it a good test of skill without inciting frustration. Its playability, enhanced with three sets of tees, has made it one of Florida's most popular tracks. Legacy Golf Club also boasts extensive practice facilities, including a lighted driving range, chipping green, expansive putting green, Executive Course, and Bar and Grille.

Start reading reviews

I never read reviews - or give reviews. I wish I would have read the recent reviews for this course.

Most of the greens have very little grass on them. They are in very poor condition. I am no expert but it will be months /year before the greens are back to playable condition.

Greens are Gone

I play this course four to six times per year and live nearby. I was shocked to see the condition of the greens. Prior to arrival there was no indication of any issues with course conditions. 100% of the greens have 20% grass and the rest is gone. Presumably due to some fungus or incorrect application of chemicals.

Greens don’t exist

You should just stay home and put in your backyard there will be more grass there than on the course and especially on the greens

Greens need work

Got a hot deal at a descent price but the greens were far from ideal. Rest of the course was good but need to rework the greens significantly if I was going to pay full price.

Work in process

Enjoyed the course. Greens were horrible and obviously being worked on. I would've been ok with this, but I was charged $76 by Golfnow and a couple that walked in ahead of us was charged $50 by the course.

Course condition horrible

Checked in at pro shop. Was informed that the greens were sanded. I was surprised and stated same as nothing was on golf now.com

Office girl said it was just done that morning. If I wanted my money back I could call golf now.com.

Tee time was 11:50 and didn't want to search for another course as it was so late.

Had no idea that the greens were completely covered in dirt. No grass. Couldn't believe it. Took pics, but it doesn't tell the story. There was soooooo much poisons that the ponds a streams were flowing with poisons.

Greens

The greens were in the worse conditions I've ever seen them. At one time this course was considered to have the best greens in Bay County. Not anymore. So sad to see the greens in such bad shape.

Greens are DEAD

Unfortunately the greens are dead. You’re putting on dirt or sand. They should close down the course or use temporary greens.

Not worth the greens fees!!!

Grass on greens non existent

They told us when we checked in greens had been areated and sanded and gave us 5 dollars off green fees . They were terrible no aeration holes just sand and fertilizer over burned up dirt . a few holes I actually had sand and fertilizer specs on my ball after trying to putt. This could be and may have been a good course but the greens are in terrible shape. The rest of the course was maintained and very playable . The staff in pro shop and grill were very friendly and did their job well .

Solid place to get a round while on vacation

Although the greens were being treated, making for a less than favorable conditions…the staff are who made our outing a great one, They discounted the round due to the treatment, and treated us like club champions the whole day. Really appreciate all of them!
