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.

Save your money

This is by far the worst golf course i have ever played in my life, it’s understaffed and under managed. You have to finish every hole once you get on the green (if you want to even call it a green) because you simply cannot putt on it. SAVE YOUR MONEY

Abysmal Greens

We got there, went in to pay, and the very friendly attendant said “there’s a discount today because we just punched the greens”. Sucks but it happens. Understandable. Carried on to the practice range, where we quickly learned they only allow you to hit irons because the range is short, and the highway is nearby. Ugh, but whatever, we’ll make do. We tee off after trying our best to make small talk with the highly unsocial starters. Yes. Two of them. Sitting together in a single cart. Any way, we go off, we get to the first green and punching was NOT the problem. It was nothing but a few weeds on top of some sandy dirt. We thought “well maybe it’s just a green they are working on”, and continued to play on. Nope. They got progressively worse. In fact, they are the worst greens I’ve ever played on, and I’m poor. I’ve played some absolute goat pastures. I cannot remember worse greens than these. We powered through, had a blast anyway, and enjoyed our day. The course layout is really fun. Some challenging holes, some wide open holes. A little water here and there. I bought a hat in the pro shop to commemorate the most disgusting greens on planet earth.

Fix the greens

We played here on 5/28/26 and it did suck that it was cart path only for the whole course but what made it even worse was the price we paid to play and the greens where in horrendous shape and was unplayable. If I’m going to pay 125 dollars to play a round of golf I want to be able to putt as well. Very unacceptable should have been told something at the club house or lowered the price.

Below poor

Greens fees were $130 a round. They discounted the greens fee to $113.

This course because of the greens is a $40 course.

90% of the Putting Greens were Half Grass and Half Sand. Very bumpy and not well kept.

They need to close the course and repair the Greens or make temporary Greens and at least cut the rate in half.

Worst greens ever

If you think you have ever played on a course with horrible greens! You havent until you experience this place. Little dude in the clubhouse was like, Enjoy your round buddy! No forewarning, no reduced rate. Just stick it in your bung real good. Rest of the course was fine.

Sad shape!

The saddest part was the greens where total trash. They were mostly dirt and fungus filled. Communication from the staff was poor. We played the front 9 and pace of play was was wonderful. When we got to the back 9 we were not informed of a Jr. Tournament and pace of play was 30 minutes a hole. We played 2 holes and quit our round and ask for half our money back. They did apologize and refunded half our cost. Not woth the cost what so ever! Would post a picture, but the app is not responding to letting me add one.

Greens were in the worst condition I’ve ever played. Definitely not worth the money for the condition. Played 2 years ago and the course was in good shape.

Poor condition of all greens

Putting surfaces were all sand and on top of that 2” of rain the day before made it like a sandy river bank!

Worst part of this was the fact that when we checked in person in Pro Shop or the starter even mentioned it.

When we checked in this should have been explained. Visiting from another State and got this Hot Deals pricing was no longer exciting!

We played anyway and great layout with normal conditions for fairways this time of year.

Feel as if someone should give me some compensation!

It's ok

Ive seen this course in better shape. Most of the greens were washed out with the grass patchy at best. The fairways and tee areas were acceptable but the recent rains made it soft and you had to take care to not put ruts in the fairways. We tried to stay on the paved cart paths. I was told that the greens had been punched and the rains washed out the grass. Lots of chemicals to encourage grass recovery were prevalent. It will be a while before the greens recover. In the meantime, let the course rest.

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.

The greens wore horrendous. This course shouldn’t have been open. You could not even put on these greens. They were bad.

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.

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.
