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.

A bit overpriced

Played the course several years ago when it was called Holliday Golf Course.

Golf cart had annoying "locked out' messages frequently, even on cart paths! Required you to back up to get out of the locked out condition. Sometimes it would cycle from locked out to unlocked several times. The GPS was nice, but work needs to be done on "locked out" areas. Course was OK, but lots of poa annua on the greens. The "Silver" tees were a bit challenging for the over-80 age players.. If I played the course again I'd go to the red tees.

Decent Course

A pretty decent course in the PCB area. Good condition. Nice layout. Some challenging holes. Staff was a bit surly on the day I played. Starter was downright unpleasant which marred an otherwise pleasant experience. Not sure if I'll be back.

Spring Break Golf

Met up with a high school friend to play some golf in Panama City. Worth the drive and had a good time. A little pricier than what it used to be for an above average course.

My Final Round @ Legacy Golf Course

Alas, I'm heading back to Canada and my snowbird golf is complete for this winter. I enjoyed a total of 16 rounds at the Legacy Golf Course during my stay in PCB, Florida. I thoroughly enjoyed this course; nearly always being added to a group of fellow-snowbirds and / or retirees. I can recommend this course for fellow "winter golf" enthusiasts. I'll hope to be back in future winters.

Legacy Golf Club

Great overall course!

The layout is not anything to get excited about.

Simple straight away Par 4s with the occasional dogleg.

Greens rolled true and were in good shape. There were a few that had some rough areas but they were barely noticeable.

The Practice Areas were pretty nice. The greens didn't differ to much from the course and the range had turf mats that were in good shape.

I am a 8 handicap and played decent. I would play here again only if I can get a good deal on GOLFNOW.

Best course in Panama city

I have played all the 18 hole courses you can play and legacy is the best. It is rather expensive but with the limited number of courses there is high demand. I liked this course better than bay point. The layout is not as tricked up as bay point. ( I am an 8 index)

Ouch! My Wallet Hurts

First of all, is it Legacy Golf Club or Holiday Golf Club? The website (www.legacygolfpcb.com) has both: click on tee times and the main window says Holiday while each tee time box says Legacy; the contact info on one page says hank@holidaygolfclub.com; even a sign inside the clubhouse says Holiday Golf Club.

As noted in a previous review, the price is fairly steep compared to courses we've played here and between here and back home. Without GolfNow discounts it would have cost over $160 for the 2 of us. My guess is with only three "public" 18-hole courses they can pretty much charge whatever and not suffer.

Despite the price, the GPS carts, putting green, 5 tee boxes, fairways, bunkers, and greens were in good shape. The layout was challenging with plenty of must-carries and sand. In addition, on this day the course greens did not match the practice one for speed, which took a few putts to realize they were actually slower.

I can recommend the course but will not play again unless the price comes down.
