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 experience, great conditions.

Was looking for a decent course to play while on vacation, First time we played this course. Course was a nice layout, without too many water hazards, which can wreck a near the beach vacation round while playing an unfamiliar course. Greens were a bit slow, but undulated and consistent and in good shape. Bunkers were in top shape. Staff was nice and they had a refreshment cart making rounds. Will definitely play here again.

Happy holiday

Course and greens were in good shape. Greens were slower than accustomed to playing. Rough had been cut and was much easier to find balls that missed the fairway. Our three some played in less than four hours. Second time playing this course and would go back again.

Hot hot hot

Had a bad round , even at my talent level. The course was in great shape, lush fairways, greens in perfect conditions. The

heat and humidity were high, and my round suffered from exhaustion. Later in the afternoon when the sea breeze came in the conditions improved and I get a second wind, much better end to the day. All in all a very nice course with a fair layout for golfers of all skill levels. I will play it again on a cooler day.

Wonderful Course (but bring your own water)

Teed off at 7:20 with a couple members. Course conditions were perfect, from the tee box to the greens. Not a long course, but still able to hit driver most holes. Fun layout. Creek that seems to come into play on every single hole (somehow). Only 2 complaints: 1) There are NO water coolers on the course. Only water is a fountain at a bathroom that you only pass twice. Guess they are trying to force you to pay for drinks. 2) Lady at the bar was extremely rude. Couldn't even make a decent egg sandwich, and had a serious attitude. Other than that, very pleasurable round. I will be back.

Good value course

Course is in good shape. They don't have a driving range to hit your driver only irons it also cost an extra 6 dollars.

I usually play courses in Destin area but this was worth the 30 min drive to Panama City

Nice and Fun Course

This is a fun course to play. Not as much water as I thought. The fairways are in excellent condition. Everything is green. The greens are challenging and are quite a change of pace from flat ones I normally play. The staff was extremely nice and I recommend the grilled ham and cheese sandwich, fantastic. My only issue is that it was somewhat hot and they didn't have very many stations for water, but that is so minor an issue.

Great course, fairly easy layout, beautiful scenery

I was on vacation and wanted to get a round in while in Florida. Looked on GolfNow and had a few choices. This course has it all, lighted par 3, driving range, nice practice green and a great 18 hole course. Clubhouse looked nice, didn't spend but a few minutes in there, staff was very friendly though. My only complaint and it's my own fault...I had to rent some clubs because I didn't want to bring mine...the clubs left a lot to be desired. Had to play with a super old driver, fwy, hybrid, 1 wedge & putter. The irons were decent with exception of having Half of them regular flex and the other half stiff. Also the grips might have well as been banana peels. But the course itself was in great shape, greens rolled true and were fast. Zero complaints on the actual course layout and conditions.
