About
Legacy Hills Golf Club opened in fall 1996 and immediately gained the respect of the central Texas golf community. Designed by Greg Cash and Billy Casper, the course blends in beautifully with the natural terrain, featuring rolling hills, old oak trees, ravines, and numerous elevation changes, both in the fairway and on the greens.
Berry Creek runs through the layout, and is integral to the signature par-5 18th hole, where you'll have two options off the tee. One side offers the more conservative lay-up, while the other option involves clearing the creek but gives you the chance to get home in two on this 520-yard hole. Fairway bunkers loom ominously, and the long green is extremely prone to a three-jack.
Before you get to that one, though, two par 3s stand out on each side. No. 4 plays 171 yards into a pond and a rock-guarded, three-tiered green. No. 16 goes 216 yards into another multi-level green guarded by water and sand on the right.
Legacy Hills Golf Club's ninth hole rivals the 18th as the signature -- it plays 357 yards uphill, with a creek along the left and fairway bunkers waiting for your tee shot. The approach involves a waterfall, but it's actually more scenic that it is difficult since a good drive leaves you with a short iron in.

No Shotgun
Good course, have played it a number of times...should’ve guessed there would be a shotgun start based on the tee time availability. That’s something to avoid in my opinion
Slowest round of golf I have ever played.
Teed off at 3, finished 9 holes at 5:30.. 2 1/2 hours for only 9 holes! Waited forever on every hole. Quit after 9. No Marshal in sight, no explanation tor the ridiculous slow play. It never speeded up.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. However, we’re very sorry to hear about your recent experience at the course. We think there might have been a misunderstanding as our records show that the 3pm group had completed their round by the time our golf shop closed at 5pm. We’re committed to providing a valuable experience for our guests and would be happy to address this situation further. Please feel free to reach out to our pro shop staff at your convenience as we hope to resolve any concerns for your future experience with us.
Glen Clay is very rude
I will be calling in to speak with his supervisor but it says carts in at sunset and this guy drives up to us on hole 17 and very rudely says carts have to be in 5 minutes you can't play anymore. Well it wasn't even sunset yet!!! The group in front of us was rudely kicked off too and I only know this rude staff name because the other guy asked. I cannot believe how rude staff are to customers at these sun city courses. Especially if your not a member. By the way, Charlotte is awesome just be careful with Glen Clay.
Thank you for taking the time to review the course. However, let us first start by apologizing for your experience during your recent round as this is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We're going to escalate your feedback to the proper staff so we can make improvements before your next game. We will continue to work towards an excellent customer experience by using your comments for guidance and hope we have the chance to welcome you back for a better one soon.
Scramble
Played as part of a scramble still played in a little over 4 hours course conditions we good
Hi u000003783798, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Great course
I love this course and normally the pace of play is okay, but today it was really slow, even on the back nine. The Marshal should enforce time to search for your ball, so people not spending 15 min. looking for a ball
Hi soeffker, thank you for your support and review of the course. However, we do apologize for the delay of play during your recent round as this is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We can assure you our staff works hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guests the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve by using your comments for guidance. Thank you for playing Legacy Hills Golf Club, and we hope to see you again soon!
Nice layout but not peak conditions
Played course over a dozen times. Fairways overly firm to where lots of shots are struck thin cause ground is hard. Can tell this is due to heavy cart traffic and needs punching. Greens are firm and fast. Always a nice layout. Crowded today, but most people are seniors and quit after 9 holes. Tee areas and bunkers are pretty good. Winter dormant. Expecting it to come back to it's old self in the spring, especially if punched and aerated.
Thank you for your 4-star rating, Armin3292909. We appreciate your dedication to playing our course, as well as your feedback. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Legacy Hills Golf Club!
Always a good value !
Legacy Hills is the best kept secret for golfers in the AUSTin área ... a little Drive
North Of town will be rewarded with a great course !
My favorite course in Sun City
I love the layout with lots of big old trees and enough water to be a challenge
Hi soeffker, thank you so much for the great review. We hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Legacy Hills Golf Club.
Best Course year round
I have played this course many times over the last 10 years more than 20 times and I have never been disappointed with its condition and its facilities. The driving range is well designed with good targets for warming up before a round or just to work on your swing game. Staff are friendly and helpful, and I like the free range balls. Greens and fairways can be a little tricky, but they are always in prime condition year-round. You will enjoy some difficult hole layouts as well as some of the best views of par 4s and 5s in the Hill Country around Georgetown. Top notch for Austin area public courses. Enjoy yourself.
Hi Roger3484401, we truly appreciate you leaving a review and rating us 5-stars. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. Your feedback & support is important to us and we look forward to having you back at Legacy Hills Golf Club again soon!
Some slow play
Had a 2 pm tee time & could only manage 14 holes before carts were called in at 5:24. Play was too slow until about hole 8, marshals began asking slower foursomes to play faster as a courtesy. There was some
issues with my playing group and I had to find a twosome two holes up to play the course. Not handled smoothly. No issues with the course, as always, in great shape. I appreciate the free practice balls for their very satisfactory driving range.

Thank you for visiting us at Legacy Hills Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star review! We hope you join us for another round soon.
not even close to worth it for dealing with staff
the whole complex of sun city that holds, legacy hills, white wing and cowan creek golf courses are not even close to worth it for dealing with the way the staff treats you. no one is respectful, very condescending, unaccomadating. they even tried to send me to a different golf course then allow me to fall one group behind because of a 5 min delay. I ended up leaving, not being able to play because they wanted me to wait 5 hours instead of trying their best to help make things right. the course may be in good shape but it is not worth the way this complex treats its golfers.

Hi akitchen, thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon at Legacy Hills Golf Club.
Pristine greens.
All the tee boxes were in good condition but not excellent. All greens were excellent. Most of the fairways were good but many places where under watered so brown grass. Luckily I was on in one of these areas the whole round. Overall the course is in good condition. If the fairways were not so dry and brown on most of them then I would say the course is excellent.

Greens good, fairways are fast due to no rain definitely extra yards but overall nice course.
Hi jmorrissette, thank you for your 5-star rating and sharing your feedback with us! Please book another round with us soon at Legacy Hills Golf Club.
Greens Roll Well
The greens and tee boxes were in great shape but the fairways were toasted. I hadn't been to the course in over a year and there are areas that need attention. The layout is good and I hope they get it back to tip top shape.
Hi Mr1Luis, thank you for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us as we continue to work on improvements. We will make note of your comments on our fairways and hope to see you again soon!
Like the course but the staff is another story!
My wife and I like to drive into town to play this course, mainly because we can go into Georgetown afterwards for food/drink. Out of the 3 options this is the friendliest course. The staff is another thing all together. The attitude seems like if you're not a resident then we are doing you a favor even allowing you in the pro shop!
