Legends Golf Resort

We golfed here on 4/28/2022 as a twosome on the Parkland course. Our tee time was 1:31 pm. There were not carts available at our tee time. We ultimately teed off around 2 pm and had a 5.5 hr round of golf. We waited at every shot for 18 holes. We played the day prior at a course that was just as nice and finished in less than 3 hrs. The pace of play here is ridiculously slow and no one seems to be concerned about it based on reviews we read after playing.

A nice course with (apparently) wide open fairways as only a few holes are tree lined, but there are other hazards and some very deep bunkers that pinch fairways. Greens were very fast and smooth, with a lot of undulation.

Being first off, We played the front nine in 1 hour and 45 minutes Then we had to wait for the rest of the groups teeing off on the back nine, and waited on every hole (and shot) on the back nine. Overall it took 4 hours and 30 minutes from when we started. 3 hours to play the back, with the between nines wait. Hence the “average” pace of play rating.

Worth mentioning, they gave us tickets for breakfast or lunch, which we didn’t know about before hand and, sadly were unable to use.

Overall, We had a very good time

The course and staff were great

The course was in great condition for April

However, we started backing up by our third hole.

A Marshall told us by the seventh he was sorry and that at the turn we would not have anyone in front of us, back nine was wide open.

We figured what the heck , ok, it us what it is until the we got to number 10 green only to see a group in front of us.

They started on 10, right in front of us because 1 was backed up.

No one stopped them or the group in front of them, 2 groups of 4 that were together.

I fully understand the staff is busy but we never saw a Marshall again.

My son plays at Coastal Carolina so we will be back, loved the challenge of the greens.

Hopefully with a better timed round.

Expect a 5 hour round at a minimum. They won’t tell you up front but they send Foursomes out off of 1 and 10 all morning, afternoon. When you make the turn expect to be shocked when you see 5 groups on 1 or 10- a complete joke and money grab. Played Healthland 10-12 years ago and it wasn’t like this; had no issues with paying to play here. I will not return. Really unfortunate because the course are nice but they cram people through this place. Big time money grab.

Waited on first tee for two other groups to go off. Then waited every hole after that. Hard to play a good course when you can’t get into a good rhythm.

The most incredibly slow round of golf I have ever played. Other than our putts on the greens our group waited on every single shot for the entire round. It took over five hours to play 18 holes and we barely finished before dark.

I booked a round on the Moorland course but when I got there was told I got switched to the Parkland one due to a college tournament and maintenance. It was a nice round but it wasn't what I paid for.

If you view a round with the guys as something where you all pound as many shots and brews as possible during the 5 to 6 hour round, then this is the place for you. Most of the course was full of hoots and hollars, people falling over trying to pick up their tee, lots of loud laughter and music blasting from carts and just a general feeling like you're at a frat party. And......based on how many people were like that, it's not a place if you don't like to party it up and enjoy slow play. The Legends likes to "rackem, stackem, and packem" to maximize their profits. We had concerns originally as we read reviews on here from others who complained about the slow play and poor atmosphere. We were assured by our golf package company that it's not like that. Imagine getting there and it's exactly like people described.......5 hours to play 14 holes before we ran out of sunlight (tee time was 1:30pm). We played the Heathland on a Monday with a 9am tee time and that still took close to 5 hours to play. Constantly waiting on a tee box is to be expected from this establishment.

Course layout was fair and. challenging. Pace of play was 4-1/2 hours. The couple from Japan we were paired up with were friendly and good golfer’s.

Only two improvements needed are 1) a better bag drop organization (chaos is the only description I have - which was stressful and a bad first image, unwelcoming) and 2) in addition to no water on the course, there was also no beverage cart and no warning up front of this (could have used a drink on the front nine).

Still would recommend this course.

It took 5 hours to play a round. Wind may have caused some delay, but it seemed that the managers of the course simply could not get the groups ahead to move any faster than a 5-hour pace. Painful as I've seen for the pace of play in a long time. Management has to do something to get the rounds to 4.5 hours or less. The course remains a very nice golf course. I've never played this course in more than 4.5 hours and played it many times in the past.

Very nice course. Greens were very good but location of cup makes them tougher. Would definitely play again.
