Legacy Golf Club
About
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.

Closed with no explanation
We booked our tee time online through GN. Arrived twenty minutes before and the place was closed. No sign on the door, no explanation. It’s a great course, hopefully there’s a logical reason why they didn’t open on a Saturday. Returned 5 hours later, still closed, and still no sign.
Challenging course from any tees
Legacy has been redone in the past several years and is now one of the best courses you can play in the Panama City Beach area. After a couple of straightforward opening holes, the course has some trick ones that appear short until you have to work your way around well-placed trees and water hazards. The pace of play in the morning, even on a busy holiday weekend, was excellent. We finished in under four hours on a crowded day!
Legacy Golf club
Great course, open enough for an amateur with some tricky holes for the scratch golfers. Greens and fairways were in great shape, would definitely play again
Legacy
Overall a nice course in good shape. Unfortunately, the course was very wet and restricted to cart path only. On a day this hot it made overall playing conditions difficult.
Very nice
Course was in great shape. Fairways and greens both both really well maintained. Crowded and slow pace of play, but that’s to be expected in a vacation destination like PCB. I used the extra time to find lots of balls 🙂
Juneteenth day off
Booked tee-time so my wife could enjoy her holiday. Staff was friendly and helpful from the time we parked the car. Course was in great condition. It was our first time playing here so we made some poor club selections but a very nice course. We’ll be back for sure.
Thought the course was a little pricey for a midweek round. Staff was very friendly and punctual. Driving range does not allow drivers or Fairway woods. Overall, course conditions were good, but had some areas under repair on greens.
Awesome Course!!
(Played the course while on vacation) conditions were very solid, staff was nice and welcoming. Had a great experience!! Will definitely play again next time I’m out that way.
Fun Golf Experience
We always get matched up with great people when my son and I play at Legacy Golf. Nice staff and fun course to play.
