Course Highlights
Friendly staff create a welcoming atmosphere that keeps golfers coming back to Legendary Oaks. The course layout impresses with uniquely Bible-themed holes and a back nine that consistently delivers solid conditions.

About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7061 yards
Slope 126
Rating 72.8

Legendary Oaks Golf Club is part of the Lawrence Marshall Family Recreation Center in Hempstead, about an hour northwest of Houston. Stretching to a lengthy 7,061 yards for the back tees, the course boasts several holes that long hitters will enjoy. The layout's par 3s are known to be particularly challenging. The golf course will put your distance to the test but you'll find that accuracy is also needed when negotiating the tighter spots on the course. Water hazards come into play frequently throughout the golf course and there are also many strategically placed bunkers and mature trees to watch out for. Legendary Oaks Golf Club's final hole is a par 4 that demands a tee shot over water while a large willow tree guards the left side and a bunker protects the right. The challenges continue on the uphill second shot.

Getting a little better

The greens are getting better, They had no way to go except up, because there were absolutely awful before. So much so I stopped going there for a while. The grass was also mowed, which was a very big earlier. So it is getting better

Fun

For a little course what seemed out in the middle of nowhere, it was in good winter condition.

We were able to go off a little bit early on a Wednesday and great pace of play.

The course was challenging and enjoyable for the cost.

Course Complete

It has been awhile since playing here. It was good to see that a lot of places that were roped off have grown up & renewed itself. Also, great to see the greens have all taken shape. Hopefully it will stay this way. I really enjoyed myself.

First Time Playing

looks like they've been improving. first time on the course. worth every bit of the $20 it cost.

Been alot better if the 16year Olds in front of me hadn't been treating the course like a play ground.

Took 1hr for me (alone) to play the front. 2.5 hrs to play the back. Playing hopscotch on the green, taking baseballs swings on the green. 6 balls off the tee. Wouldn't let me play through Very annoying.

My dumb self didn't think about skipping a hole until later.

Fun course

I read a lot of the previous reviews and people were talking about how the fairway wasn’t mowed and the greens weren’t rough condition but we didn’t have that issue. Most likely we got on after a fresh cut.

Poor condition

This course has gone downhill fast. The fairways were not mowed , they were in the same condition as the rough . Where the fairways had “grass”it was weeds and hard pan. The greens were atrocious,mostly bare or packed sand.

Overall the course is terrible. It isn’t worth a $10 fee.

Getting better

The course conditions have improved. The greens are green again with only 20 percent weeds. Much better than earlier this year when it was dirt and weeds.

Fairways are improving. Wet summer caused lots of grass and weeds in fairways. Many golfers have left.

I continue to play here because my golf ⛳ friends like the location.

I am encouraged that James and Kelly are improving the condition of the place. The new greens keeper is doing a nice job.

6 years here

I’ve played this course for 6 years. I’ve seen the business change owners and transition over the last 3 months to again being best in value and eliminated temp greens! Outstanding work done. Keep it up! Not the course it was 3 months ago.

getting there

About a month ago, I had told myself that I would never go back to play there again. It was absolutely horrible. But it seems like that the crews are working hard to bring the course back to playable. Good course for the price!

Course is improving

Played here a couple months back and even though it was cheap, the temporary greens were not very enjoyable, but now all the temporary greens are gone, they are new carts and the prices even got a little lower which is always nice. the course conditions have improved and I’ve heard they got a new superintendent so I think they will continue to get better and better. I’ll definitely be coming back

Can’t beat the price

This course is a great place to work on your game. Most of these reviews say this place is a pasture. I don’t know what they expect to get when they pay $30 to play golf. The value of this course exceeds this price, especially for the layout. It is constantly improving as of recent. All you in the comments who expect Augusta for $20 can take your greedy attitudes somewhere else.
