One of my Favorites

Played 18 today with my brother & a buddy who were first-timers to Legends, and we all had a blast! Brother drove up from Columbus to meet us, and it’s approximately a 1 hour drive for me and my friend, but we all agreed it was worth the drive.
I have played the course a handful of times, and really ever have only had 1 bad experience on my last visit, due to very slow pace of play; they had seriously overbooked and we got stuck behind 4 other groups from the start. I will give the starter credit, though; he tried to move my group(two people)up in front of the rest of the groups(all foursomes). Two of those groups were nice enough to let us play through, but the other two refused. A little common sense and courtesy by those two groups would have helped immensely w/ the pace of play complaint, but I guess those two traits are lost on some folks. So, as I mentioned earlier, I won’t totally blast the Legends staff for doing nothing to try and improve pace of play that day.
I was, of course, somewhat concerned that it could be a repeat this time, as I have seen pace of play complaints showing up in recent reviews as well. I’ll also say this; it seems like slow pace of play is FAR from exclusive to only this course. I feel like it’s an epidemic that pretty much affects every course at some point. I can say this time, though, pace of play was definitely not an issue. Talking to the starter today, it seemed as if they were actively trying to help make sure things didn’t get bottlenecked…he found us on the driving range about 10 minutes before our tee time, and offered to get us out early since the group before was running late. We jumped at that chance, and had maybe 2 times the whole round that we had to wait on the tee for groups ahead; maybe added 10 minutes total to our round. Can’t really complain about 4&1/2 hours for 18 on a Sunday morning.
Touching on a couple other points - course was today, and always has been, in great shape any time I’ve played it. Couple aerated greens on North 9 that made for tricky putts, but no other issues at all anywhere else this round.
Have always loved the layout of this course, it’s why I keep coming back!

Went there to play 18 and left after 9

So we had a 8:52am tee time. We were on the tee box @ 8:40am. We were not able to tee off until 9:12am due to the slow pace of play. For as many course options this course has we were backed up 4 groups by the 3rd hole. We paid to play 18 holes however due to time restraints we were only able to play 9 holes that day which took over 3 hours of agony to get through. For as large of course that it is, the starter should have distributed golfers across the course instead of bottlenecking everyone. It is a nice course, we played right after aeration and overseeding from the course conditions. I guess i really expected more compared to other courses in the area.

City Owned Course

The course is good, it's an original feeling track with a lot to think about. Plenty of sand and water, tall grass, elevation change, and some longer holes. The drawbacks are the driving range, which is in terrible condition most times, and the staff. I've never had a comfortable experience with the guys working there, and I've been going there for 15 years now. They are slow, miserable, and nonverbal most of the time. Do they get you checked out? Yes. Do they make you feel like you're bothering them the entire time? Also yes. That's what city employees feel like though.

Great all around.

Excellent experience. Busy and efficient and organized. 18 on a Sunday mid day in 4:30. Very helpful and friendly staff. Played North and South 9s. Receptive greens, challenging but fair. Well run operations will always get my time and money. Happy to recommend and return. Nice job Legends!
