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.

Course was in relatively good shape. Tee boxes were lacking grass. Bunkers had great soft sand.
No memorable holes.
Great value after 1 pm
Course is in great shap phase was slow but for the money ok
operators allowed to many to play
the course was ou to make money and allowed more people than usual to tee off. so it put 3 teams of 4 on every hole. this should not happen. it took 3 hours to play 9 holes to much standing with no rhythm in your game. every person should have got there money back. if it was experienced players then this could have been different. amateurs made this impossible.
Must play
The course is in phenomenal shape and the greens were rolling true!
Great Day of Golf
This was my first time playing Holiday and I was very impressed with the layout and the condition of the course. Our reception in the pro shop was friendly and we teed off on time. The only negative was pace of play. The sign on our cart said please respect our pace of play and complete your round in 4 hours and 10 minutes. We were held up on every hole and completed our round in just over 5 hours. On course marshals didn’t seem to take any action. We were playing with a local and he indicated that pace of play is generally a problem here.
New Greens Excellent
The greens are in excellent condition and the few bunkers I experienced were fluffy and groomed. The marshal was working the course hard and it was full of 4 somes. Finished in 4.12 hours. Did a good job.
Best on the Beach
Great condition. You easily use all the clubs in your bag. Greens are in great shape!
Pleasantly surprised
I was pleasantly surprised that the course has changed so much since I played it a couple of years ago conditions or so much better than they were then really enjoyed myself had a great game.
Golf carts need golf bag hoods
I wish the golf carts had golf bag hoods for when it rains.
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.
Pace of Play....Slow
If your not in the “dog fight” group you might as well play somewhere else. Your treated like a second class citizen to that group. Pace of play rules do NOT apply to them..
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.
Nice golf experience.
This was only second time I played this course. The course was in good shape, interesting holes, very good greens. A very good golf value by using Golf now. com.
Rodney
Course was in great shape, only negative was pace of play took 4:45 to play 16 holes
Over booked, didn't finish the round due to overcrowedness
The course was ok, the greens were the best feature of the course. They were fast and in very good condition. I wouldn't play it again unless I played earlier in the morning.
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.
Solid course well worth playing
Good condition, played w/ early morning men's group; greens great shape, if a touch on the slow side, bunkers recently redone, very nice sand. Lots of interesting holes that take some thinking and shot making.
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.
