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.

Poor Customer Service

Extreme slow pace of play. Their staff includes a Marshall keep up pace of play, sat in the cart and did nothing when 5 groups were being held up by a four-some. The Marshall ignore us calling him twice and drove away. Overall very poor customer service, would not recommend playing.

Holiday...Not much of one

It takes more that "Best greens in the Beach" to bring me back. Perfect example of herding cattle onto a course for the almighty $. Pace of play was ridiculous. We were paired with a couple that only played 9 holes which made our wait on every shot even longer. Worse yet as a resident of the area there are plenty of choices and I will not pay to play at this over rated course again.

Slow but Good

Staying in Destin, but made the 50 minute drive to PC Beach to play Holiday Golf Course. It was well worth the drive. This is an exceptionally good golf course. I would happily play it again. My only complaint was pace of play. It took us over 4 1/2 hours to finish. I realize slow play can happen anywhere, so I'm not holding this particular course to any different standard. I only include the comment here in case others experience the same thing.

Please play this course if you haven't already. It's one of the better layouts and values for the GolfNow money that I've encountered in the Destin area. Excellent course conditions. Local knowledge definitely a requirement on some holes. Some nasty surprises await if your intuition fails you. But, not unfair.

The course was in pretty good shape after torrential downpourso 2 days before. Cart path only made for a good workout, because of the wide open fairways.

Fun layout

First time I played here. Fun course. Nice to play a Florida course that isn't lined by houses! Greens in great shape and challenging. Drawback: the range is irons only. Pace of play was good. Make sure you check Golfnow for rates. The best rate is usually $35 plus taxes and fee's on Golfnow. Pay at the course and it's $65 or $49 affect noon

Staff and Course Condition

We've played them all in Panama City and Destin. Holiday staff treated us like we were the only customers there ... and believe me, it was busy. The staff has one objective ... make sure the customers have a great time. The course is in outstanding condition ... particularly the greens ... fast and smooth. The experience is a great value. If you're in the area, add Holiday to your list. We will definitely return. By the way, the par 3 course is sporty and a great way to practice your short game.

My budget wouldn't let me play the "well known " courses, so I "settled" for Holiday. Wow!! Had I known how great a course it was, I never would have even considered the others. This is a gem and it deserves your attention. You won't be disappointed.

Sand in traps thin

Greens good and reasonably fast. Fairways fine. Sand in traps not deep. Difficult to open sand wedge and blast ball out. Tough to control exit of ball. Other than that course plays fine.

We had never played this course before however it was recommended by many people at the area golf stores. It was in great shape and was a delight to play although the fast greens weren't something we were quite ready for. Definitely will be back.

Good course.

This was a nice course. The greens were in great shape. It appears well cared for. There was a lot of play when we're there and I think they have a lot of regular play by members and guests. That's a good indicator. The difficulty level seems to suit many ability levels. I play here a few times a year and enjoy bringing a group here. The only negative is that there should be more marshal management to speed and regulate slow play. On this round we had two instances of a twosome skipping around in front of our foursome.

Pin placements

Everything about the course was perfect- greens, bunkers, fairways and tee boxes except for the pin placements- which were ridiculous difficult. I'm a 7 handicap and I like a nice challenge but these pins were almost comical where they were located.

The course is in fantastic condition.

From tee to green this course is one of the finest to play in the area. The layout is "what you see" with large fairways and the hazards are mostly cosmetic. The greens are large, firm and very undulating. However, they were a little slow for our liking. The only real issue was the lack of a marshal to help with the pace of play. Playing as a foursome, we waited throughout the day as twosomes held us up. Teeing off in the afternoon, we still had a 5+ hour round. Fix the pace of play & we would recommend this course to all we know coming to the area.
