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.

GMD Holiday GC

My twosome played in less than 3 hours, great pace of play. Greens and fairways were superb. Greens are quick and tricky but fair. Some interesting holes and par 3's are long. Best value in the area.

Greens are the defense.

The layout is quite plain with the holes not having much variety and manly basically looking the same. The plain design makes their claim of a championship course very exaggerated. However, their big and fast greens are quite nice, making it a little bit more championship like, although despite their crowned nature, most of them are pretty flat and lack character. Too bad you can’t take the quality of the greens and move it to nearby Bay Point GC, a much better layout and track but whose greens are in terrible condition right now. Another thing that is disappointing about Holiday is that you cannot hit woods on the driving range, so when you are warming up, you can’t warm up with the most important club, the driver.

Enjoyable 1st Round in Panama City Beach

Good layout. Flat but with nicely contoured greens. Greens ran smooth although holes needed to be cut again soon. Some well-protected greens. Sand in very good condition. Overall condition of the course was surprisingly good. Some forced carries that raised interest. An excellent day overall for our recreational group. Difficulty dictated by length mostly.

Corse in good shape. No one playing in front or behind us because of thunderstorms. Course should have been close before our t time.. would not rec

To pricy for the course. Use to be reasonable but new owner wants all the tourist $. On the day we played the course should have been closed because of lightning alerts and thunderstorms. But we got in nine and was told course had closed. Should’ have never started.

Golf Now only gave back $13.90. Not satisfied with GN. Will think about using service again. Really hard to get refunds of course closes cause of weather. Remember to play on a sunny day. And another thing is watch your credit card because GN will double charge.

Swing swing

Had a good time out there by myself, didn’t get paired up with anyone this time which I enjoyed for only a couple holes, rather be paired if I end up on the course solo. Pace of play this time was pretty brutal making it hard to stay in a good rhythm but cart girl let me know they had a tournament starting the next day so I suppose a lot were practicing for the following two days of tournament play. Can’t be mad about that as I’ve never dealt with to bad of pace here. Greens were great, super fast. Tee boxes and fairways were nice. The amenities here are good and the staff is great. One thing got to me though was sitting at the first hole waiting to tee off and I was told to wait for the group of four that was ahead of me, they weren’t there and also late yet I still had to wait till the exact minute of my tee time to tee off, kinda silly but whatever. All in all it was a good round of golf as it usually is at Holiday.

Very nice links style course

Wow what a surprise! Did not expect the course to be so nice. Only hard thing for me is it took me 9 holes to get used to the fastest greens I’ve ever play on, but once I did they were fast and true.

They Used to Be Better

Got to the course early to warm up. We were in the tee area 30 minutes before our tee time. There was no one waiting to tee off but they made us wait until exactly our tee time to play.

Greens and fairways starting to have invasive grass/weeds appearing.

Have played this course every Spring for years and this is not what I am used to - especially now for $90.

Nice with a "but"

The people at Holiday are great! I like the course itself as i have played a handful of times dating to last year. There are not many local games in town from what I can tell. If you want to charge as much as Bay Point, your course better start looking like Bay Point in my opinion. I am more than happy to pay a premium for well maintained courses but this is a cut below. Overall, nice but feel a bit pricey.

Average course at above average fees

If I hadn’t been able to secure a GolfNow hot deal I would not have played there.. It is an average golf course that had been a favorite of mine prior to 2020 when new management installed premium golf course rates.

Not a bad course

The course is pretty good but overpriced unless you get a deal on GolfNow. The greens are excellent and fast.
