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.

Great course for the price!

Beautiful and quiet course. Only thing me and my buddy did not like was how fast the greens were. Other than that, it was a great course, and I will be back.

Greens are in poor shape for this time of year - looks like they used some type of weed killer and putting is through parts of sand and grass- most of the sand bunkers are mostly clay and don’t drain

Still not good.

I’ve been playing here for a few years. The greens are awful. Fairways aren’t much better. Crab grass and weeds. It’s ok if you can get a hot deal, but not worth regular price. Sand traps are mud traps. Bathrooms have never been cleaned.

Overall good

Greens need. Lot of work. Several fairways and even tee boxes needed mowing, but we have had a lot of rain lately so I’m sure that was why. Never had that issue before. Greens I have seen like this before. They were overall better than last week when I played but had been sanded and had some pits, probably from sand washing off due to rain.

Cheap but still not worth the money

Course and greens horribly maintained. Greens fees were good but still not worth the money.

Practice Course

Legendary Oaks needs manacuring assistance. Too many spots where there is no grass. At least you can usually find a weed to hit off of. The course is challenging and fun enough for the price.

Great Course for the Money!

The staff here is working to make this course better everyday. If you’re looking for a great value for your money and live anywhere in or around Houston or College Station, you should try this course out. They don’t have amazing amenities or a beer cart on the course, but it plays great and is in very decent condition.

Making improvements

You can tell they have been working to get the course in better shape. 1-2 years ago it was almost unplayable. There are still some rough parts of greens but very much improved and a lot more grass now. For the price, this is a good value course.

I would be aware it can be slow at times because there seems to be a lot of beginners playing here. With the price, that would be expected.

Got stuck behind a few scramble groups at the beginning of the round that made the first 5 holes very slow and waiting for every shot. Skipped some holes to get ahead of them and was able to finish in 3 hours while going back for the holes missed.

Not much for amenities, make sure to bring water. There are a few water holes and OB areas so a few throwaway balls are ideal.
