Maybe going in bankruptcy
Conditions have deteriorated to beneath muni category. Fairways are spotty at best. Bunkers have weeds growing in them and not maintained. Greens were hideous. Tee boxes were the best part of the course. Staff was indifferent and just going thru the motions. Pace of play was good because no one was playing Used to be a nice alternative to the Pinehurst course. STAY AWAY!
Needs a new groundskeeper
This course is in terrible shape and nowhere near a $90 round type of course. Way better options within 10 miles. I’m very disappointed in the maintenance of this course. Greens are shameful and burnt out, covered in sand and like putting on old school sand greens. Played this course many times but recently played a twilight round and had to deal with random homeowner/trespassers popping up all over the course during our last tee time round.
Legacy GL
Legacy GL is about 15 minutes outside of Pinehurst. It's a very player friendly course layout with mostly generous fairways and some challenging undulations around the green complexes. There are 3-4 really nice holes, the other holes are decent but not spectacular. The course was in decent shape and the greens were in good shape. Several of the holes have the "saddleback" fairways that help wayward shots come back into play. This course has double bogies and eagles and everything in between. There are better courses in the Pinehurst area but this was good; I'd come back and play.
Excellent course
Course was in very good shape as usual. There greens were pristine as usual but a few of the FW were patchy most likely due to extreme heat. This course is one of the best around for the money (got a great deal on golf now). One of my favs in the area.
Best for the money!
Great track…..no bad holes, and that’s hard to say for most courses! I believe it’s the best value for your money here in the Sandhills. All the courses have raised their rates this year…..Legacy is a good value compared to most!
Always a great layout; current condition is substandard
I've been playing this track a couple times a year since it opened almost 30 years ago. I recently described it to someone as being a great layout, very challenging and always in good shape. I was obviously disappointed then to find the course in substandard condition this week. I would say it was the worst condition I've ever seen it, but I'd condition that by saying that it wasn't THAT bad.
I can't recall if it has always been wall-to-wall bermuda, but it certainly is now. With that comes a completely different set of requirements for mowing. The fairways should me mown very tight and the roughs really have to be given thought. If bermuda roughs get even a little bit too long they can become almost unplayable for the average golfer. On this day the roughs weren't too long, but the tee boxes and the fairways were. Tee boxes were lumpy and uneven, which IMO is inexcusable. Every tee box should be billiard table level and smooth. Fairway grass was too long as were some approach areas which made all approach shots more difficult than they should have been.
The lakes were grown over with lillipads and gunk. The pro shop had next to nothing in it and gross stains all over the carpet. There was nobody helping with carts or acting as a starter. There is construction going on next to and across the street from the driving range.
In all, I just got the sense that maybe there is a shortage of money or effort being put into the place right now. I hope that isn't the case because it has always been a place I've looked forward to playing.
Gorgeous course
We really enjoyed our round here. Played early to beat most of the heat. Wonderful layout, wide fairways, fast greens. Some fairway grass was strugfling but it didnt affect our play at all. Nice carts, staff, and lunch afterward.
OK course, Great staff
The staff were great. Fairways not so good and need much needed work to eliminate bare areas and bring them to more acceptable conditions. Greens were good. Value not outrageous considering that the course is located in a resort golf village (Pinehurst). Some of the better conditioned courses in the area cost an additional $30 to $50 more. Basically, you get what you pay for.
Legacy Golf Links -Great Value
Played Legacy golf Links for the first time in 4 years. Always been a great layout. Greens were fantastic and the course was in pretty decent shape for this time of year. The fairways have a few partial bare spots, but overall in very good shape. Staff, food and service were great! Price is a very good value for a foothills course this time of the year! Will return again soon and would highly recommend!
We got screwed!
Showed up 40 minutes early and were told “Cart path only due to fertilization of fairways.” We couldn’t handle cart path only and the clerk sent us to play Foxfire. Golfnow.com and/or the Lagacy folks charged us as a “no show”!
Now I have to spend an hour trying to get a refund from Golfnow or Legacy!!!! We are really upset!!!
