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.

Worth the money
A little pricey for the course, but still worth playing.
We appreciate your 5 star rating! Thanks for playing Holiday!

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
Thanks for your review. It's great to hear you had fun at Holiday. We look forward to your next round!

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.
We are happy to hear you had a great day at the course! Thank you for your recommendation and we look forward to your next round!

Great course
I really enjoyed this course. Played it last minute and was pleasantly surprised.
Thank you for your positive review! We are happy you were able to squeeze in a last minute round at Holiday.

Pleasantly Surprised
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.
Thank you for taking the time to review our course! We are happy you discovered Holiday and look forward to your next round!

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.
Thank you for your feedback and your positive remarks. We hope to see you back on the course soon.

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.

Hackers opinion
New greens are the best I have played on since East Lake. Green side bunkers were perfectly racked and drained great. Fantastic experience. Can't wait to get back out there.
We are thrilled with your fantastic experience at our course! We look forward to your next round. Thanks for playing Holiday!

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.
Thank you for your review and compliments of our course. We appreciate your feedback and will make sure to let our head Marshal know your concerns. Thank you for choosing Holiday!

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.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your positive remarks and will make sure to pass along your pin placement concerns to our Superintendent. Thanks for playing Holiday!

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.
Thank you for taking the time to review our course. We appreciate your feedback and will pass along your comments to our head marshal. Thanks for choosing Holiday!

Fast as fast can be
This course has a pretty open layout, but is not without its challenges. Some serious doglegs and holes that don't necessarily require driver. There is a lot of water to consider; either in the front of you or running along side of the fairway. The greens were in fantastic conditions and were extremely fast from what I'm used to playing. In addition to being fast, there is a lot of unjulated movement that adds to the challenges. I left a lot of shots on the course, therefore, I'm compelled to go back and vindicate myself or maybe that's just my excuse to going back. Staff were very cordial as well.
Thank you for your detailed review. We are happy that you had a great day. We look forward to your "vindication" round! Thanks for playing Holiday!

Memorable?
Whether you have your A game or something less, a memorable experience is the goal, especially on vacation. This was not the case at Holiday! A nice course in good condition gets overlooked in a 5+ hour outing. Waiting on every shot gets old fast.. Older crowd that would not wave anyone through is what I was told by others in parking lot and experienced first hand. Gave up on 16 tee after 5 hr and 20 min.
Thank you for your review. We are sorry you experienced a long round. Our rangers will happily wave you through when notified. We always issue a rain-check when play is slow. Please contact me, I would like to comp your next round.

Thank you for your great review of our course! We look forward to your next round. Thanks for playing Holiday!

open course
It's a well manicured resort style course greens were aerated a few weeks prior but still were in good shape longer hitters play from the tips the next tees up aren't that challenging great super staff DEFINITELY worth the money a few holes water is in play but quite playable
Thank you for taking the time to review our course. We are pleased you had a great golfing experience. We look forward to your next round!

Holiday Golf
Course was the best course we played in the area. The greens had been aerated in the last two weeks, but rolled well. Pace of play was slow right at 5 hours.
Thank you for your review! We love when our customers state we're the best course in the area, especially after aeration. Thanks for playing Holiday!

Great conditions
Greens are in flawless condition. Fairways, tee boxes, and bunkers are emaculate as well. Fun lay out with several doglegs and water in play. Wind from the coast adds an extra challenge. Great deal from golf now. Overall completely satisfied and wouldn't have been upset if I paid full price. For those comparing courses, I played Hombre earlier in the week, which was also a fun course, and the greens were in terrible shape, either patched or sanded. If you only have time for one go with Holiday.
We found your review a lot like you found our course: "flawless". Thanks for taking the time to fill out a review!
I under estimatated
Great deal on golfadvisor to play this top notch course. Greens were firm and fast. My only concern was the group in front of me. I was playing by myself and was behind a foursome of seniors. After the marshall rode by with no concern i asked to play through and to my surprise they got angry. So i just played through anyway lol. It ruined my day but i am not taking anything away from the golf course, it was in great shape.
Thank you for taking time to review our course. We are happy to hear you had a nice day despite the downpour. Thanks for playing Holiday!
