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 golf value near PC beach

Holiday was completely renovated several years ago including the addition of championship Bermuda greens. The course is always in very good condition and the greens are phenomenal. Excellent layout which is always challenging for any level of a golfer. Would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the PC beach area and the drive from Destin is not bad at all.

Gary G.

The course was great and in very good condition. My friend and I got there a little early and since it wasn’t busy at the time the pro shop allowed us to start right away and play as a twosome which we both appreciated since we are very amateur golfers. There are quite a few holes where water and bunkers come into play which made the course reasonably challenging but the overall experience was very positive.

Surprisingly good course behind the driving range!

Lots of character to the greens. Excellent maintenance. Interesting mix of long and short holes and very affordable. Our only issue was pace of play as we got caught behind four large groups.

Well Maintained Course

Have played numerous courses in the area over the years but never played Holiday. It was as manicured as any of the higher priced courses we play. Everything was in excellent shape: Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers, rough and on & around the greens. Several holes were interesting and all of them were fun to play. The only very minor drawback was the overall layout of the course. It didn't have that "wow" effect as some of the Destin courses we play. We still walked away very, very happy with the course. Holiday has been added to our "Courses to Play" list every time we come to the beach.

A real Emerald Coast value.

This course is a challenging layout, fairways, bunkers, greens in excellent condition. I came over from Santa Rosa Beach to play this course. It is as good or better than South Walton courses (public and semi) and for a reasonable amount.

Turf and green were great

My round wasn’t my best, but it wasn’t the fault of this course. The greens were in great shape and the fairways were full and solid. I still have some problems with the layout, but it does suit my slice with more right moving fairways. All in all a good afternoon.

Excellent conditioned course!

Played today 11/14/17, with 3 other Hot Deal guests. Thoroughly enjoyed the course, weather and playing partners. The course was in excellent condition especially the greens. Fairways and tees were nice too. Bunkers were well maintained. Typical Florida layout: flat, plenty of sand, water (ponds, ditches and cannels) and sunshine, of course. The only drawback was a few trees that were in front of some tee boxes. It made for some tight openings into the fairways. Otherwise, super course and a great value in a resort area.

Love this course

Our foursome plays here 4 times a week. Before playing here we checked every course close. This is by far the best conditioned of all. After you play here your agree that for the money you can’t beat it. Pristine greens are absolutely perfect. 6 sets of tees, from championship to Senior women’s.

Skeptical from Reviews

To be honest I was skeptical about playing having read the reviews... So I went anyway trying to keep the reviews of bad customer service and other things at bay... To start off, Steve in the Pro shop was professional and very helpful.. He asked if this was my first time playing here and gave me a yardage book after I told him , “Yessir.” My tee time was 9:15 (it was 8:50am, so I headed to the putting area). Within 5 minutes I was paired with another couple of gentlemen and we were off 5 minutes after that. Pace of play was very good. Fairways were nice and the greens were really fast (and were actually green). I saw the Cart Lady at least 3-4 times during my round... I loved the challenge.. I had a great time today.. I play one round of golf when my wife and I come yearly.. I’ll be back....You just won me over..

A fun course to play.

We played the course on a breezy day from the North. Had to step down a couple of clubs some holes due to the breeze. The course is a very nice layout, enough water to keep you honest, traps not overly punitive and greens were excellent. Lots of right dog legs made it more challenging for us lefties. Highly recommend this course for anyone.
