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.

Boring and expensive
We played five courses local to Panama City Beach and this was the most unimpressive. The layout is pretty boring with few hazards the main defence being greens guarded by heavy bunkering. Pace of play was good but only because we were let through by a very slow four ball early on. There was lots of shouting and whooping from some other groups which was really irritating. To be fair, our view might have been more positive if the weather had been a bit warmer and the sun was shining! For the money there are better courses in the area.
So-so
No walking allowed, even though it's not a long course or in a residential development. The staff I encountered was without personality. Irons only on the range. I only return as a last resort.
Mr Gorgon -- sorry for you being not satisfied. If you look on our website, you will see Holiday is a RIDE ONLY course. If you would like to discuss further, please contact me at 850-814-8783. R, Josie/Marketing
Holiday Round
Decent golf track, greens are fairly new but very good! I would play it again. Very close beach strip.
Good value with GN discount
Haven't played here in a few years, got a good deal on GN, decided to give it a go. Course in very good condition for December. Good pace of play, except we were asked to speed up even though we were on the heels of the group ahead, perhaps the twosome behind us was antsy due to the late afternoon time they had on a short winter day. Could not find a restroom on the course. Greens in excellent condition. Course played very long into a north wind. Not a par three under about 160 yards. Not a good course for the ladies, and even a bit tough for a senior male like me. One par three has a huge pine tree blocking the drive. Pins were in very tough positions this day on many holes. Very nice check-in staff, made us feel welcome. Not too much rough or water hazards. Big bunkers but well sanded and in good shape. At this price a very good value, and I plan to play there again. Thanks.
Enjoyable course
Excellent condition
Fast greens with subtle breaks
Fun layout with fair amount of water
Great Course - Slow Play!
This is a fabulous course - challenging layout, regardless of tee played; beautiful scenery even though w/o Gulf views; excellent course conditions; and, the staff are very helpful. However, be sure to get a tee time away from when the local "Gun Slingers" are playing their rounds - so horribly slowwwwww play and you cannot get through them. If you can't obtain tee times, go elsewhere.
Black Friday
Average course - great greens. Terrible range and very expensive - $6.45 for a small bucket.
Great greens putt true
Very good. Slow play e rd in front. Pick up dumb pass after triples!!!!!
1st time impression
Usually a 1st time impression is a lasting one in this case it is true. Nice track, good layout, great greens & friendly staff.
Would definitely play here again.
best course in Destin Florida
For courses that are open to public, this is in top five in the panhandle. And the greens are that good and fast.
First time
Enjoyed the course but the front nine was really slow because we were following a regular group of 8 foursomes. They must have left because we never had to wait on back nine. Generous fairways and fast greens. Had to look closely if ball was in the rough. Good layout and only lost one ball
Really
The course was in great condition, staff friendly and cart girls amazing. However, course of play took away from the moment. We were behind a foursome that decided the only round that mattered was theirs. In the cart it clearly states "pace of play...4 hours and 10 minutes". Our round started at 1207 we finished close to 6. Yes 6. We saw the Marshall and he was friendly but did nothing to speed up play. Yes we started at the completion of a scheduled tournement; however, by the turn no one was ahead of the slow group ahead. So would I tell others about the great things this course has to offer yes but it needs to work on pace of play.
excellent conditions
The fairways greens were in excellent condition. No dead spots in either, which is pretty common this time of the year in the deep south.
First time.
I was impressed with Holiday Golf course. This was the first time playing. The staff was friendly and the course was nice, the greens where slow but rolled true. The fairways are nice and wide for your high handicap player but still challenging.
Great Day For a Holiday!!
Great course. Well maintained and laid out. Appropriately timed tee-offs to accommodate a relaxed game with friends on vacation. Staff was informative and friendly. Whether you're a once a month player, once a week player, or hit the links 300 out of 365 days, the course offers a challenge and forgiveness!
We'll be back each trip to PCB!
Thanks for a Great Day!
Thank you for your 5 star review! We look forward to your next vacation in PCB. Thanks for choosing Holiday! -Richie Edwards, Director of Golf
Awesome greens
Course was in really good condition. Greens were almost perfect. Fairly challenging course that will reward you for good shots and penalize you for errant shots. Overall, a very good experience and would definitely play again.
Thank you for such a great review! We look forward to your next round at Holiday! - Richie Edwards, Director of Golf
Classic FLA Course
Holiday GC is what you expect in Florida: lush, lots of water, sand, heat, etc. This was a fun course and one you should definitely play in the PCB area. Fairways are lush (with more filled divots than I've ever seen). Greens were a bit slow as they'd been aerated lately. Took a while to figure out the breaks. Rough will grab you if you find it. Some tough par-3s particularly when the PM breezes blow. Biggest challenge are several dogleg holes where you'll need to cut the dogleg (tight!) or face a long 2nd shot.
No water, but there are drink carts on the front and back nine. The course is very well marked on every sprinkler head. What is not well marked are the water hazards, several of which line holes. Not a red stake to be seen. Speaking of colors, the blue flags (marking pin is back) are so faded they're indistinguishable from whites.
Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate you taking the time to give such a detailed review. We hope to see you back at Holiday soon! -Richie Edwards, Director of Golf
Sir: We are sorry your experience was less than desirable. We pride ourselves in having a FUN golf course, and fair layout for players of ALL skill levels. For players looking for a challenge, we suggest the Championship tees @ 7,000 yards in length. Thank you for your review. Holiday Golf Course/bc
