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.

Nice course to play

It wasn’t the best of course conditions but we did enjoy it. It really has the potential to be a great course to play. Definitely will play here again.

NOT Augusta National ……

….. but a good value. It’s all about expectations.

The Pros - affordable, pretty country setting, fun layout. Friendly people and staff

The Cons - spotty greens but most had nice turf, albeit slower than I was used to. Lots of beginners who should be on a range first, deep deep rough but if you hit fairways you are good.

Poorly maintained

Greens and fairway are not good. Fairway grad isn’t consistent. Greens are mostly sand and long grass. Putting was difficult.

Getting better

I have played this course many times. The fairways are in good shape, but there needs to be more effort on having them cut and maintained. The front 9 greens are still in bad shape. The back 9 was better than average overall. I have watched this course improve over the past 2 years, definitely getting better. Keep making improvements.

Nice place to play, a little out of way! In decent shape greens still need work. Only got to play 10 because of rain. Will return.

Greens are starting to get a little better but still have too many bare spots - sand bunkers hold water and don’t have enough sand - they are unplayable
