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.

Sandy Greens w/ no communication
We paid $120 to pay on sandy greens. No one even thought to mention it. The course is fine and the starter and server Lauren in the grill were extremely nice. To pay that kind of money to play those greens was a major disappointment.
Sand wedge needed on the good The only way I could
Maintenance decided to top dress the back nine greens on the day I played. I would not have played at Legacy if I knew in advance the top dressing would take place. Major disappointment
The young lady in the pro shop was very nice
The starter, not so much
Rough shape
Greens are terrible, overall not in good shape. Not worth $120
I’ve played way better courses.
The greens were in pitiful condition. The layout was pretty good and the fairways were decent. The tee boxes wasn’t quite as bad as the greens. The greens were really what was most disappointing. I’ve played better courses for the same price or lower. This was listed as a hot deal thankfully. So glad we didn’t pay full price. What we did pay was too much for a course in this condition. I will not play this course again for the price we paid.
Out of Towner Swindle
May be the most overpriced course I’ve ever played. Boxes are often uneven and patchy. Greens are in worse condition than your local municipal course. Aside from that, pretty average across the board.
Course is in terrible condition
Greens have zero grass on them! Putting in sand and bare spots course is in the worst shape I’ve seen
Course needs work
All greens are in poor condition and sandy. No true rolls.
Fair ways are patchy and have lots of weeds.
Could be a very good course, needs weed killer, seed, fertilizer and more water. Staff was nice.
Free range balls if playing.
No value for the conditions
Great staff. Friendly people. Unfortunately they have lost the greens. Used to be the best on the beach. I will watch and see if the greens come back before I play again.
Worst Greens Ever
I can't believe they have the audacity to charge $115 per golfer to play on the worst greens that I have ever played on. Maybe cut the price in half to reflect the condition of the course and perhaps more people will show up.
I guess people have to be rich in order to play golf in this city .
Beach golf
Loved the layout of the course. The greens had some bare spots that had been sanded recently. Good course at the 80 dollar afternoon rate but I would have been disappointed if I payed the 120.00 premium time rate.
Disappointed
Played this course when it was Holiday GC and it was in good condition then. Now, it’s awful! Greens are in terrible condition. Tee boxes are in terrible condition. The deal is that we were charged full price when the staff knows the condition of the greens. Play and learn,. Maybe if we hadn’t scheduled tee times with GN we would’ve been made aware.
Average Course
Ok course. Layout nice. Fairways were good. Greens were not. Would have been worth it if the greens weren’t dead. Overall had a decent round anyway.
Sandy greens and no notice
The course was fine but I would like to have known the greens had just been punched and sanded.
Course is nice, but…
Greens were heavily sanded and punched. Fairways were punched and looked to be stripped down, irons flew flat as the grass gave out.
Overpriced for the conditions (didn’t know until we arrived), happy to pay the rate when the the course isn’t in maintenance mode.
Just average
Not much to say but, it's overpriced $60-65 course literally anywhere else in Florida I've played better and nicer courses in Miami. Grounds keeping was fine besides the greens being punched and sanded heavily might I add. Cart restricted zones were wonky I had my cart get locked out in areas not marked restricted and even on the cart path. Course is just an average layout nothing fancy this course likes their dog leg rights, majority of the course is pretty flat. Pro shop is nothing to write home about. There is only one water cooler on the course and it was empty not to mention the water fountain didn't work at the rest area. Pace was ok. Overall base price at $115 a round is outrageous i will not play here again simply based on price. If you like overpaying to play a mediocre course this your spot. Welcome to Panama City and Panama City Beach
Course is great but they lost the Greens and charged us more than everyone else
This is typically a go to course for me in PCB. But, they have lost the greens. We had to play the front twice this round as they were dressing and rolling the greens on the back 9. We booked our tee times in GolfNow for close to a $100. The course had discounted rates of $65 for the public due to the greens being unplayable, they told us tough luck, call GolfNow. We called GolfNow and got Hodgie in Idia (somewhere over seas) and he was no help at all. We took it in the can for $35 extr bucks and recipracation from Legacy Golf Course after having to play on their greens. Worst greens I have ever played on in my life.
