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.

Greens were terrible

We play Legacy each spring and fall and usually enjoy the course. This week the greens were covered in poa, which impacted every putt. Could be weeks before the poa goes away on its own.

Decent course, reasonable price

Given the relatively pricey offerings in the area, Legacy was a reasonable alternative to paying over $100 for 18 holes. While it was a generally good and fair layout, the greens were lacking. They were covered with weeds that made it less than fair for putting. So. overall I can’t give it more than 3 out of 5 stars.

Overall still a nice course and layout. The greens took a hit this winter and need to be cleaned up. I got as discount to play or I would not have played here. The price has gone up too much for this level of golf.

Legacy Golf Panama City

Loved the electric golf cart with GPS screen. The course was in decent shape although the greens need to grow in, the.putting wasn't true. There were strategically placed bathrooms. The clubhouse closes at 6pm. We weren't able to access it as we had a late tee time.

I look forward to playing it again.

Terrible condition

The course was in terrible condition. You couldn't even putt on the greens because they were little patches of grass in them. The price was extreme for the condition of the course .. We were paired up with two wonderful people and that made the experience less brutal

The course condition was absolutely terrible. The greens were unplayable, and the fairways were brown. Completely atrocious for the price. This is a 50 dollar course. I play this course every time I am in PCB, but I will definitely not be back until the course is better.

The staff was wonderful as always. The fairways are in excellent shape. The greens are a little rough after winter. This added some challenges while putting. Even with that I still shot my best round ever at this course.

Plenko Greens

I’ve not played worse greens is quite sometime. The poa has pretty much taken over on each hole. Putting was near to impossible. We ended up giving 3 footers. I honestly can’t see how they could charge the $100 plus rack rate. We paid $81 on GN and that felt like $40 too much. It’s sad because the layout seemed fine and the staff was friendly enough. If I was the greens keeper I’d be embarrassed and offer my resignation.

I guess they are getting away with what they’re charging but it’s overpriced

It’s golf in the winter time in FL

Greens are bad and not worth $90 plus

The greens are like Plinco!

Whoever has put high marks for the reviews needs to stop it!

We booked a T time knowing we would be in the area based off a few recent reviews,

If the coarse was $25 at least I would have a clue how bad the greens are, but they are over $90 which suggest that putting would be at least half way decent.

Need to dig up the greens

I have played this course for years and the greens have always been the most difficult greens in the area. Now, the greens are infested with poa and are totally impossible. I love the people who work at Legacy and they are the very best anywhere. I love the layout of the course, but it is long.

It is sad to see how badly poa can destroy greens. It is a problem everywhere and can only be fixed by digging the greens up and starting over.
