Loved this course. One of the best layouts we played in a week of golf in Scottsdale. Played it with my wife and a young man who shared our tee time on a really hot day with few others on the course. It is a true desert course with many challenging holes and elevation changes, especially on the back nine. The fairways are wide enough to avoid calling it a "target golf" course, but club selection is critical on many holes. The back nine is very challenging with many longer carries over waste areas. I found the course very playable. The greens are very large and undulating. I would not recommend this course for a high handicapper. If you hit 'em straight and can keep the ball in play, you will have a wonderful and memorable round at Legend Trail.

The weather was perfect and the course was in great condition. The fairways are wide and largely open, but the greens and trap placements are challenging. The staff was friendly and helpful. My wife and I enjoyed the flora and fauna, and the beautiful desert vistas. There are several holes with timeshare units nearby, but they are not intrusive. The sewage smell of the recycled water in lakes and ponds scattered around the course was evident the day we played. But this was more than offset by the overall positive course experience--one of the best we had in our week of play in the Palm Springs area.
