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.

I've not seen a course in this bad shape, ever.

It trult appears that they have no greens keeper here at all. Just horrible conditions, i'll never play there again. I'm not a great golfer, but this was below even my standards...

Needs improvements

I'm going to play once or twice a month, for what they charge, I think, they should do some repairs and it's worth paying what it costs today

Nice course in good condition

Course is in much better condition than when we played about 1-2 years ago. some dry spots but easily moved out of them for a better lie. Would recommend the course to anyone as it's a great value for the money.

Keeps Improving!!!

This course has changed owners a few times over the years but the new owners are slowing making improvements. There is a long way to go with the facility once the course is back in shape but for the moeny, it's really nice. Pace is super fast. Gas carts (Yamaha).

Friendly staff. Easy tee times. Anything you need is a phone call away.

I recommend it.

Not worth $50 in current condition

Course is patchy in places. Some tee boxes with grass to the ankles. Greens were mostly pretty good. $50 is too steep for this course in its current state. $35 max in my opinion.

Nice turnaround and great value

I almost hesitate to give a good review because I would like for this course to remain a secret however the last time I played this course it was in rough shape. The greens were bad and had many burn marks. What a difference a month can make! Amazingly, even with the Texas heat the greens were in excellent shape along with the rest of the course being in pretty good shape. The clubhouse and amenities still leave a lot to be desired but the course conditions have significantly improved! Nice job maintenance staff! For the money, one if the best golf values and hidden secrets in the greater Houston area!

course has improved very much

can present quite the challenge depending on accuracy off the tee, and the tee markers you play. Playing the tips can be very difficult, as you will need to be able to shape your shots, both draws and fades. Greens are in very good condition considering the heat of the summer in Texas, as well as the dirt spots that were on the greens just a couple months ago! The maintenance guys and greens keeper have done a great job turning the golf course around!
