Legendary Oaks Golf Course
About
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.

Great Golf Course
This is the sixth or seventh time I have played this course and it was probably in the best condition I have seen it. The pace was slow on the back nine. Perhaps the marshal should keep an eye on that and encourage the offenders to speed up a little!
Definitely worth the drive from Spring!
Nice course that may be our little secret
This is the second time I played the course and I really enjoyed playing this course. My son and I tee'd off at 8:10am on Friday. There were very few golfers on the course, so you do not feel rushed and we did not have to wait on the group ahead of us because of large groups or slow play. That is why it is our little secret.
The course offers several water hazards and sand traps to make the course more challenging. This is my new go to course. Not a lot of trees and not a lot of water. The fairway and greens were in great shape for August and you can tell the course is well maintained. There is not a snack bar open before 11am but I looks like they might be working on that. They do have drinks, chips, a few snacks and sandwiches available for purchase. Seniors enjoy discount pricing on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I definitely recommend this course to all of my friends and I look forward to returning soon. You will enjoy playing at Legendary Oaks in Hempstead, TX.
Significant improvement
Great layout. Bunkers are finally improved, tee boxes and greens in great shape. The price is unbeatable and the newly opened club house is very nice. As a bonus, there is also shower in the clubhouse.
Tim’s review
I played alone for most of the round since I have bad legs and need to play slow. The golfers I met along the way were friendly and courteous.
The staff were very accommodating and friendly.
The only minor problem was there was no drinking water on one of the holes when I really needed a drink. Next time I will bring an extra six pack.
$5 charge stupid
Good course for the money. Slow play on Tuesday because the senior crowd comes out that morning. They like to take their time.
A little stupid they charge $5 extra if you are by yourself. Not my fault I don’t know anyone to play along with.
Great value
Great Value. New owner is working hard to improve everything but it will take some time. The greens are in decent shape and due to the rain a few days before, the fairways were in reasonable condition. The bunkers need a lot of work, but he can’t do everything at once. All in all it is a great value and I always enjoy going there. The staff is excellent, very friendly and they will do everything to accommodate you.
Only option in the area
Greens are in pretty good shape and can’t complain much about them. Fairways and tee boxes are average. The lady in the pro shop was not very welcoming. I felt like I was doing the course a disservice by paying to play there after being welcomed by her when checking in.
Extremely show pace of play for 10AM on a Sunday. Two gentlemen had their 3 very young sons playing with them, riding on the hood of their golf cart from time to time. Probably should play on a 9 hole par 3 course until the kids are older. There was a sixsome playing ahead of us and a course marshall playing with a fivesome behind us. Range balls are poor at best.
Terribly slow. 12 minute wait on every hole had to leave
Incredibly slow pace on the front 9. No marshal checking pace coming in on the 9th or 18th. Every course should check their players pace and offer help.
Great Course
I’ve been golfing here for over two decades. You cannot beat a better rate for great course. Right now the greens are looking the best they have in years. Fairways are smooth and will reward you for hitting them. It can get busy during the weekend and will get over booked sometimes. I recommend playing during the week if at all possible. A little more water during spring and summer this course will be fantastic.
Excellent value
About the only course left in operation in the Austin county area. Great value. Conditions could be better but for the price it is hard to complain to much.
a good course to play for the value. Not too far outside of Houston area. Decent playing surface. I will return to play more rounds
Same ole course
Course was in decent shape like always. Greens are a little fuzzy but for the price it is an excellent value. Pace of play was good. Layout is fun and each hole is different for the most part. The old lady in the pro shop was still her grouchy self. It’s amazing how she still has a job. I’ve been golfing here for years and she has literally never once been pleasant to deal with.
