Great for all skills

We have been out here twice now. The course is in outstanding condition, the greens are well maintained and provide some different looks. The scenery is pleasant. The course is open enough to not frustrate average players and yet create some challenging opportunities for more skilled players. The staff is friendly. They are making some changes which will even make it better. Thanks for a great outing! I highly recommend giving this a try. One of the better, and more reasonable, options in the Pinehurst area.

Pace could be better

There are a lot of improvements going on but the actual playing area is really good. Once everything is finished this will be one of the best tracks around. Pace was slow, honestly mainly due to some US Kids practice rounds, and by US Kids I mean mainly parents holding things up. Still I really like this course and am excited to see the improvements take shape.

So the course conditions are definitely worth playing at this time? I have a tee time booked in a couple weeks for a golf trip and am trying to decide if I want to keep it. I know construction is going on. Does that affect play? Do they sell any food/snacks or have a cart girl? Thanks in advance for any info you provide!

Legacy is being reborn

Ok, if you like to complain about things there is plenty to complain about right now. They are working throughout the property so know that it’s a year away from growing in all over the course. The greens are being left alone right now. Recently punched. But, and is a huge BUT, it’s gonna be awesome. Play it now and watch the changes

Legacy

The facility is undergoing renovation, with new tees added to several holes, adding length, bunker renovations, changing a the 16th to a very long par 4 and changing the 18th from an impossible par 4 into a risk reward par 5. With all the work and changes the facility is a year or two away from being worth what they are now charging for greens fees under the new ownership.

Making good upgrades

The course is beautiful and the renovations are making it even better. While the clubhouse is under renovation there is a good food truck.

Clubhouse closed for construction - porta-toilets in the parking lot. Lots of tee box issues, and signs say new boxes "coming soon". Many cups were set incorrectly leaving top edge above the surface.

Overall disappointing for the price charged.

Wished I would’ve known!

Legacy is a beautiful layout and I will definitely play it again. Now for the tough love. Please communicate that the course, clubhouse and general facilities are going through major reconstruction. Cart paths and most of course is like a war zone. Knowing this before paying a premium price would have manage our expectations.

Secondly, our groups were blended into a Memorial Day member scramble. It was so painfully slow (6+ hour pace) and we were ready to leave until the three foursomes ahead us left after 13 holes. Again, the course and Golf Now needs to manage customers’ expectations and communicate pace of play and course conditions. Disappointed in the experience but will play it again after all their planned construction is completed.

The 18th was the challenge of the roune

One of the joys of playing Legacy isn't just navigating the undulating terrain or holding your breath as your approach shot flirts with disaster on the island green at the 18th—it's the people you meet along the way.

If you're the type who enjoys golf as both a game and a conversation starter, Legacy’s welcoming vibe is tailor-made for you

On any given day, you might find yourself partnered with a retired schoolteacher who’s convinced he can still stripe a drive 250 yards (bless his optimism), a weekend warrior working out the latest mechanical flaw in his swing, or even someone who—purely by coincidence—shares the name of a top-ten PGA Tour player. We would tell you which one, but privacy laws prevent us from exposing this stranger to the pressures of living up to his coincidental namesake. (Let’s just say his short game was not at risk of threatening any major championship leaderboards.)

A lot of work has been put into the course and can’t wait to see the final product and the renovated club house.

Not worth it

This course is not worth a $100+ greens fee. Right now, the course is under major construction efforts. Cart paths varied from smooth pavement, rough pavement, bumps, sand or non-existent. The golf shop and snack counter are currently located in a metal shipping like container, while the club house is under major renovation. We were told they expect the club house to open in July. The fairway grass varied from good to numerous bare patches. The greens were average, with many previous cup cuts causing rough ball rolls. Ball washers were out of water on some holes as well as some water coolers on the course being empty. A few holes had temporary tee boxes.

We played this course in previous years, and it was a great course with good amenities. Right now, it is a major disappointment. We will not return any time soon.

Great course - under construction

Great course, I would play again. The course is under construction. They are putting a ton of money into this course but it's already spectacular. The staff are the best, friendly and upbeat.
