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.

If you’ve got time go somewhere else.
Now that Panama City Beach only has two championship courses Legacy and Bay Point are your only options. Neither are $100+ courses but they’ve got the monopoly. I’ll be going north to Dothan and play the Robert Trent Jones courses for half the price from now on. Three years ago a local could play the Legacy (Holiday) for $45 but new ownership and rebranding have done away with that. Not sure how they’re keeping the doors open? I saw a total of four golfers on the course through my whole round.
Course is nice, wide fairways but some challenging holes.
I thought it was nicer and better maintained than Bay Point. They had number 17 closed for repair, wished they would have told us prior and which hole we could play twice.
Great shape
We’ve been down here on a little get away. Greens were great. The fairways were great. Nothing to say bad about this course except the driving range. Wished you could hit driver and fairway woods. They were were working on #17 so they had us play a hole on their par three course in place of that. But it was fine. Because #17 is a par 3 also. A little pricey but comparable to other courses in this area. Definitely recommend this course.
Fall Weekend Trip
My wife and I drove down for a long weekend golf trip. The greens fairways and roughs were in great shape. The greens rolled true and fast. The staff overall was ok. Nice golf carts with GPS system and very comfortable seats. The downside to playing here is they had no 9 hole replaying price. The driving range was only irons and hybrids. A little pricey but average for this area. But overall Would definitely recommend playing here
Nice course good condition, pro staff not so overwhelming friendly, the guy that greeted us with carts started barking rules and regulations without even saying welcome to the Legacy. I did enjoy the course and would play again.
Difficult Greens
Greens slope, false front. Everything is great until I got to the green. I have difficulty reading the green. And it shows.
But go ahead and play it. You'll have fun.
Difficult Greens
It's a fun course. Wide fairways. Plan your shot on a few holes. Greens are fast. False fronts.
Sloped. Tap the putt and watch it go. As a senior golfer it would help if I could read the Greens.
Legacy
Course changed names but the same old crabby staff. The starter needs to find something he enjoys, I don't need to play this course and only play once a trip to PCB because it is so overpriced.
We got around number nine and after a 2 hour and 10 minute nine discovered they jammed at least one foursome, maybe more in front of us on number 10 when number one was wide open.
I recommend avoiding this course. There are better courses.
Not worth the price!
The layout of this course is just bad! The blind tee shots because of the lack of land makes the course one that I would not recommend to anyone especially for the price.
Nice Course but 15 mph winds today made for a challenge. Enjoyed playing and will return.
Difficult Greens
Good layout. Fun course, plan your drive. Now you're on the green? Nope. False front. Now look at the slope. Yikes, 2 breaks. Fast.
And yes, it was fun.
Our review
We found the course to be more challenging than what it appeared. Par 3’a are pretty long
Pleased with all improvements over the years. Well kept.
Only negative was grille. Food good. Staffed with only 1 person and was overwhelmed when having more than 2 customers .
