Legendary Oaks Golf Course

Challenging layout but conditions are a little below expectations. Good value

Course needs a bit of love but it’s still a fun course without breaking the bank. I do feel the green fees are a tad high but hopefully the course gets better during the Spring. Staff is awesome!

Course was in good condition and a beautiful dat for golf.

Realizing this is winter time I still think this course could be in much better condition.

$53 is too much for this course in the shape it was in. Tee boxes no grass, greens with dead patches.

Would play again for a lower price.

Course was in good condition for this time of year. Beautiful day for golf.

Course is getting better, green actually has most of the grass back after few years of bad condition. still need a planty work to bring the course up to standards.

It was good pace. Great layout. Course needs some work.

The course has improved since I played last year. They are working on it and still needs more work.
