Enjoyable golf

This is a great layout and right now the course is in great shape. Guy in the clubhouse was very friendly, starter was great and knowledgeable, and we saw many rangers on the course trying to keep things moving along. It was an enjoyable round. Some really difficult holes, like #18. Great par 3's. Was disappointed to see so many new houses on the front side - would prefer not to see them while I am golfing. Back nine still has an isolated feel. Definitely worth the money and I will be going back soon.

Nice conditions

Course was in great shape. Greens are quick and you have to read the grain on every shot.

Absolute Steal!

Played course day after US Kids event. Course in perfect condition, paired up with another single; 3 hour round on a Sunday. Call first to get details of course conditions and pace of play. What I was informed about was 100% correct :)

Terrible Customer Service

Had one of the worst experiences with any pro shop staff, grumpy abrupt old man behind the counter. Made the reservation through Golf Now, it seemed to anger him. I tried to find info on senior rate but he was unresponsive, an angry response to any question, obviously wasn't keen on tourist playing their course. The drink cart had a flat at 2 in the afternoon, there was no water on the course and no drink cart throughout the round on a hot and humid summer day. The course was fine, nothing special, much better options in the area. Advertised as a Nicklas designed course, nothing approaching the beauty and hole design of a normal Nicklas design, actual architect was his son decades ago.

Highly recommend this course

The course was beautiful and in great condition. Everyone there was extremely friendly. Of the 5 courses we played (including Pinehurst #1) - this was the best! I'll be back if I'm ever in the area again.

Great Golf Course

We played Legacy for the second year in a row, and everyone agreed that we need to keep it in the regular rotation.

The course is in great condition. The greens are moderate speed and true. The fairways are medium width, and many tend to funnel the ball toward the center. This course is not easy, but extremely fair. Your score will reflect your play. Greens can be somewhat tricky, but if you pay attention to the predominant slope of the surrounding terrain, you'll avoid some misreads.

Full driving range and practice green. Decent clubhouse and grille for an after-round drink.

Solid course, good conditions

The course was good with a decent hole layouts and good conditions. The only real complaint is the price for the round. The course was busy so you can't expect to get a big discount but it was a bit steep considering how many other courses are in the area.

Would play again if the price was lower.

Saturday Morning Round

Played this course with three friends, so our flight consisted of two scratch golfer and two 4 handicaps. We were initially worried that the pace of play was gonna be slow as we had a older foursome in front of us, but the starter and course rangers were phenomenal in keeping up the pace of play. It has to be said that the staff runs the course as professionally as one can hope for. Practice area and Driving Range were great, with two putting greens in case there is overflow. The course was in great condition, as they oversee the fairways and it was nice to play from a green fairway instead of burnt out grass. Greens are bermuda grass and extremely difficult to putt. Overall a challenging but fair course layout. Jack Nicklaus Jr definitely makes your shot choices more obvious than his father. Highly recommend playing this course if you're in the area.

Good track, I have seen it in better condition

One of the Sandhills better courses, but not as well maintained as I have seen it in times past. Thin grass on many of the approach areas and wet to boot. Greens were slower than normal, but that is understandable after Spring-like conditions for much of the winter with freezing night time temperatures forecast for the next week. Outside Staff and Starter were very friendly.

Great Course!

I have been going to the Pinehurst area with a golf group for about 8 years now. I had not heard anything about this course. Its a gem! Very visually challenging, but also very forgiving. Course was in great shape. Staff was very friendly and helpful. This course has jumped up to my favorite in the area..

Great layout, friendly staff short drive from Pinehurst....

First time playing here in maybe 15 years or so. Caught great weather for January, although windy, and had a great time with great rate for quality of this course. Conditions for mid-winter were very good, greens in near perfect condition and all bunkers were raked. Fairways and tee boxes all good. As another reviewer noted, and I remembered from long ago, there are four of the most beautiful par 3's you'll find anywhere. Very few houses on this property also so it's really a beautiful trip around. 15 minute drive or so from Pinehurst traffic circle so it's really not far. Will definitely return. One of the top courses in the area without a doubt and must have if you're putting a package together.

Best deal in town

Excellent course. Got tons or rain two days prior to our round and I thought course would be cart path only. Only 5 holes were cart path. Great staff. Unreal price for quality of the course. Par 3s are really sweet. Probably the best course in Pinehurst area for the price.
