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.

Good value
I like the course and staff. This is a very pleasant, country place to play.
Nice comfortable course. Trouble on the front nine with lots of water but the back nine was less difficult. Great placement of the women's tees. That made the course easier for me to compete with my husband. We will go back.
Legendary
This course is a simple straight forward test of ball placement. Opon first glance it appears to be a wide open grip it and rip it course. Then you do to find someone placed a hazard in the spot your aiming at. On this day I had a 15-20 mph north cold wind to deal with that seemed to do everything but help my ball get to the green. As a first timer that is use to a scorecard in the mid 90's this day was the worst beat down of 104 on a new course so far. I was mentally and physically drained knowing why this beautiful place is legendary. It will legendarily kick your butt if you do not pick the correct club and shot on each of the holes. Can not wait until I get to drive 1 hr each way to take the challenge on again. With my golfnow hot deal of $12 this was definitely worth the $12 in additional gas.
Course is a little rough!
Extremely windy day, had a difficult time adjusting shots. It is "winter" so grass was more dirt than grass so the ball would roll a ways. Back 9 layout better than the front 9, still a good way to spend a warm Christmas Day!
Great Value
Played 27 holes for $25, met Ted and Richard, the ladies running the clubhouse were friendly, back nine has a lot of character, greens were sneaky fast, water available, 75 degrees, a fun experience.
Great condition
For being fall weather course was in very good condition greens and fairways were very maintained
good price
nice playable course, good value, hope to play again.
And we hope to see you again pakalz! Thank you for your review!
What a nice change of pace!
I finally played a round here after passing the course for years on the drive to Austin. I didn't expect too much, but I thought it would be something different. My buddy and I were very surprised at what a neat course this is! It's a pleasing layout with nice changes in elevation. But the best thing about it was the quiet! Except for traffic noise on the holes by 290, the course was a wonderfully quiet place. The greens were good, and the approaches were usually open enough for a bump and run. The fairways were great and the ball sat up nicely. They do have a bit of a gopher problem, but we joked that they needed Bill Murray to deal with that! The day we were there, traffic was super light and we played too fast - so we bought another 9 holes! The pro shop staff were friendly and helpful. This was such a nice experience that I've already booked another round!
Excellent! Thank you for your review gmeadows72! We're glad you had a good experience at the course and are excited for your next round!
Golf course was too hairy
Golf course needed mowing. The greens were ridiculous. Putts would die after feeling you hit
It too hard. Fairways were too long. The rough on either side of the fairways
were 6" tall. Made it difficult too find your ball. It took too long too find your ball.
9/7/16
Booked on a non senior discount day because of SLOW play(final straw was when told if I wanted to play faster I should not play golf). Start to first tee 5 minutes early to find 20+ people backed up with group already teed off. Questioned lady in shop, no real response. If I have a tee time, I do not expect to have to wait 30-45 minutes to get started.
Need to mow
They need to mow tee boxes and the rough needs to b trimmed, greens and fairways are great
Nice Course
Good course. Will play it again. The ruff was lush and tall when we played and we lost a few balls in it. However, due to all the rain the prior couple of weeks, grass in the ruff was so tall they couldn't get out to cut it. But the fairways were taken care of and good. Greens were also good. The staff were really nice. Course was a pleasure to play.
Bang for you buck!!!
What a nice place to play...price is right, layout is challenging...shortest 3 par is 155 yds...a couple holes have construction but that's easilly overlooked...overall a fantastic day
Held up well
With all the rain we've had, there were only 2 holes that were cart path only. The fairways and rough, understandably were a little deep but the green were a nice surprise. The staff was very pleasant.
Course cleanup
The course needs a lot of work especially cutting the grass
Great course
This course is fantastic for the money, I have played way worse for more money.
Good value
New owners are trying hard to get course in shape removing fallen trees, ect.
Little slice of heaven
I know I'll regret encouraging an increase of traffic, but it's the right thing to do. The layout is outstanding with challenges and options for every level of player. For the most part, the conditioning is very good, especially for the fees. I mostly enjoy the serenity of the place. I understand the surrounding housing development will encroach eventually but for now...just go enjoy a very unique round. If I lived closer, it would be s no brainier to be a member.
