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.

Great course but...

I love playing this course. It is a great layout in excellent shape but was disappointed in the pace of play. I was playing in a threesome and the started had allowed two fivesomes to play ahead of us. After taking 2 1/2 hours to play the front 9 I finally saw a course marshal and asked if it was a common practice to allow 5 players to play together. He said it was on occasions but he didn't like it and said he would see if he could speed them up.

Also, do not use their online booking. It cost me $5 to use the service when if I had just called the course it would not have cost anything.

Good course to play any hdcp

Everything was good, a little slow, need a little better marshalling to move groups backing up the course. But it wasn't snail slow, it just was held up by one group.

Great day

This course is typical Florida, close cropped and sandy. Greens are a bit diabolical but everything else is quite good. Good distance for us old duffers and long enough for big young hitters. Enough water to swallow a few balls, good sand in the traps. All-in-all a good round.

Pro shop personnel accommodating, course always in very good shape, especially greens. Only negative is that slow players are rarely pushed by rangers.

It’s an interesting layout in good condition. We waited on every shot and so will likely play elsewhere the rest of the month.

Nice greens but a little slow.

The course was very busy but our pace was just under 4 hours. Greens were in good shape but are alot slower than last year. The course has a good layout of tight and open fairways. If you keep it in the middle of the fairway you should score well as the course is not very long from the white tees.

Nice layout with reasonable landing areas and true yet tricky greens.

I played Holiday the other day for the first time. The layout was challenging yet fair and playable. Various tee boxes made for a fun round for any skill level. The large and undulating greens were in great shape (especially for early February!). The staff was very helpful and friendly.

I'm eager to play this course again!
