Layout great for 5 hours

Legacy is an extremely good value play in Pinehurst. One of the better layouts in the area. About 15 mins from Southern Pines. Some new construction going on but nothing abnormal for a new neighborhood as many of the reviews would suggest. It’s not distracting. Management could use a lesson in customer service. Had to ask every question I wanted to know. No information was offered even after saying it was my first time there. Range is nice. Conditions are nice. Prepare for 5 hour plus rounds. Many tee boxes were backed up for 20 minutes as I was playing. Took 5 and 15 to get around for a single digit handicap. Just enjoy the evening and value. With some better management practices this could be a top 12 in Pinehurst area easily. Par 3s are some of the best in the area!

Return to an old favorite

Returned to a course that I had not played in 15+ years. Course was familiar but the course had done a lot of work removing trees and opening up the course from what I remember. Also, there is a few houses visible that were new. Course was in great shape for winter golf and I sure this summer it is going to be perfect for play.

Great course! Making steady improvement. Winter rates are great value. Regular season rate WAY overpriced though!!! Like most area Pinehurst courses trying to take advantage of visitors for golf packages !!

Legacy December 1, 2023

I had not played Legacy Links for approximately 10 years. It was a great layout in a rural setting, unlike many of the golf communities in and around the Pinehurst area. Unfortunately, the development work has been booming at Legacy. The construction site on your entrance by the practice range is only the beginning of the changes. Most of the front nine abuts some type of infrastructure or building construction. It was virtually impossible to concentrate on a single shot with dump trucks, cement mixers, generators and nail guns going constantly. Not what I was expecting, but it should be well appointed and quite attractive when all the work is completed.
