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.

Needs some attention

Course seems to be getting worse and worse but price doesn't change. They allow 6 sums and even had a group of 7. Two of us played best ball and took forever. No marshall. Sitting in 100 heat waiting is no fun. Water coolers were free and far between and havent seen ice in atleast a day or so. No baskets on driving range for ball machine unless you trekked 100 yds to where they were left. Rough areas are ball eaters due to lack of attention. Bring a hammer for the tee boxes. Staff ? I seen 1 person. No ice in ice machine for the over priced drinks that you'll have to buy due to lack of drinking water. This is a last resort course. Speaking of resort go into the club house and look at the photos on the wall where they advertise what this place looks like. Lolllllll. You'll get a good laugh.

Elbow Grease and a Bit of Paint

This could be a little gem of a course if the owners would put in a bit of work. Greens and fairways were okay (thanks to some recent rain) but basic maintenance seems non existent. Get out some paint and clean up the tee-box markers. Pull some weeds and tidy up the areas around the shop. One bridge had broken railings.

If someone were to buy this club and invest some time and money - especially as the population of Houston moves west, this course could be terrific.

Until then it is just a cheap place to play 18.

Bunkers need work

This course has been playing allot better since the first few times I played it. The one thing I works day is lacking is the bunkers. It’s like hitting off of cement. Needs to be tilled on all holes. Greens were in good condition and fairways were pretty good compared to a month ago. Can’t beat the price during the weekdays for sure & it’s a great place to work on your game.

Needs a lot of TLC

Having played this course many times over the years we got even less than expected. Tee boxes are in rough shape, literally! Tees have grass and weeds up to 2” tall, they are not close to level. Fairways hadn’t been cut in a while and bunkers are unkept, even if one wanted to rake the bunkers there were either no rakes or rakes broken in half. The greens were the only bright spot, soft and rolled true albeit quite slow. Water hard to find on course, very little ice to be had in proshop, and the bathrooms are filthy.

Then go play at Memorial Park or Wildcat. Legendary Oaks has improved a lot of the last year and has still kept Green Fees low. Stop complaining

Course is in good shape. Players need to learn to fix divots on the greens but that is not the courses fault. Great value for a nice course.

Course fairways and bunkers are dry and hard. With drought it’s expected. Greens are good. Just don’t understand raising prices if no work to course.

getting better

play here often, not a member but should be. A few months ago, it was kind of bad. NO grass on greens, sand traps were not ever taken care of. But lately fairways have sufficient amount of green grass, Greens are 99%+ covered in good grass, but they are slow. Sand traps are getting better. They have been working Hard to improve the course and with this drought, that can't be easy. For that I say thanks for the hard work Ya'll been doing. Great place to play for the money. As always, the staff is friendly and helpful. They might be looking into serious repair on the cart bridges(wooden bridges) Also need to repair the erosion problem on Hole 15. I pray nobody falls in the hole. But love playing there!!!!
