Legacy Golf Club
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.

Nice course with lots of potential.
This could be a very nice course. Unfortunately, they were more concerned about making a stink about the 3 waters I had in my (banned) soft cooler then mentioning that the place was infested with mosquitos and that the greens were atrocious. Not a true rolling green throughout the entire 18. Way overpriced for a golf course to have such disgusting greens. It was an absolute round killer.
Disappointed this time
I was disappointed. I played last year and was happy with it. This time paying for me and my brother was almost 300 dollars with club rental. Sorry, but the poor greens and pace of play don’t justify it at all. We had a 3 some ahead of us since hole 1 averaging 20 minutes a hole through 9. I brought up the concern back at hole 1 and was told it would be addressed if it continues but we stayed 10 minutes behind pace the whole time. No reason we couldn’t have skipped them, nobody was ahead of them. And the greens were bad. I thought I found my place but for the price of all that, I won’t be coming back. Just too expensive. The couple we were paired with felt the same.
Expensive with bad greens
Greens are all but ruined. Covered in sand to try to save. But they charge right at $100. Ridiculously priced.
bad greens
all the greens were eat up with a fungus or something feel like they should have gave a discount for the shape of the greens all 18 holes greens were awful not worth 120$
the club dn the street half the price the greens were better shape
Good shape great people
Course was in fair shape. Greens a little weak. I’m sure they will come around. Overall
Charged full price for a course not worthy
The fairways and greens were in horrible condition. Greens were awful and I use the term “greens” loosely. Should have been discounted instead of charging $100 per person. Winter rates at best.
Mowers were mowing around the green while we were chipping and putting and continued to follow us on four holes.
Save your money. Won’t be going back.
AVOID AVOID AVOID
To start, charging over $100 for this course is simply unreasonable. Unfortunately, there aren’t many golf options nearby, so unless you’re prepared to drive 45 minutes or more, your choices are limited. It’s clear the course management is aware of this and has priced accordingly.
That said, the conditions were very disappointing. The fairways were full of weeds, and the greens appeared to be suffering from some kind of disease, making play anything but enjoyable. The driving range was underwhelming—you’re limited to using irons and hybrids only, which significantly reduces its usefulness.
Save your money. We made the mistake so you don’t have to. Honestly, you’d have a better experience spending the day at Top Golf in Panama City.
Greens
Was not informed of the loss of grass on the greens they were much worse then any green that was airefied that I e Ever played own. Should be a refund so pathetic
Not worth the money
Legacy was a huge letdown. The course was under heavy maintenance with no heads-up or discount — $115 to play on recently punched and fertilized greens. Crews were loud and constantly around us during the round. The head groundskeeper even wrongly accused us of driving on a tee box (we didn’t — the GPS carts would have shut down). Rude staff, poor conditions, and no value. Skip this one.
Greens
The Greens were in a terrible condition, they did all they could do to make them better but the kill on them was too much.
The Prompter in the cart was not accurate to all the pin placements.
Had we known the greens were this condition we wouldn’t have played it for the amount of $ we paid.
Beer was good & cold, Staff was great.
Greens
Greens were poor. Cost of play is expensive compare to other courses in the state of Florida. Given no competition in the close proximity, I guess the ownership can charge more.
Working on the greens!
I absolutely love the people who.work at Legacy and I can report that they have been working on the greens and there has been improvement. They are not up to their standard yet, but I think they have turned the corner on the Poa grass. Keep up the good work!
Poor greens conditions
Greens were in very poor condition considering the the fairways and ruff was well maintained
Good course but bad infected greens
I liked everything at the course overall. But the greens were bad with infected grass and patchy grass. It was expensive from that point of view. They did not have water anywhere throughout the course except the clubhouse area which was frustrating while playing in sun.
My golfing experience at Legacy golf course
The lay out was good. Most fairways were good.the pro shop was very good. Now the greens had been sanded and airerated, this made putting a guessing game.I would have been nice I we would have have the choice to reschule the round or be given a reduced rate for all greens were G U R.
