About
The Legacy Golf Course is one of Robertson County's must-play courses. Opened in 1996, it is not as old as some other courses in the area but the designer, Raymond Floyd, took advantage of the existing mature woodlands spread throughout the lush, rolling hills. At 6,755 yards, the course is seemingly short but it is narrow, and be prepared to face troublesome hazards almost everywhere. It is notorious for making balls from even the most slightly errant shots disappear. It is a tough but fair challenge. The golf course starts with a tricky par 5 with a bunker on the right followed by a par 4 that requires a 200-yard carry or you'll surely be faced with trouble. The back nine at Legacy G.C. is slightly less difficult but there are still plenty of hazards as well as several blind shots.

First time out to Legacy
Overall this was a great course. There are some areas of the fairways and greens that are damaged from late frost this past spring but they are being addressed and will be fine soon. Every course is dealing with this right now.
A lot of potential but only play with a deal
The course has a pretty layout but wasn’t in incredible shape. The greens were really well maintained, but ~50% of fairways were dead. Tight fairways on most holes made it challenging. I would play the course again but wouldn’t recommend paying more than $40 until they get their fairways fixed.
Not recommended
Limited yardage markers and no GPS on carts. Many fairways were brown and basically dirt.
Nice course - rough shape
Really liked the layout. Unfortunately the course is going through what a lot of local courses are going through due to winter kill. I will plan on getting back up there in the fall and hopefully it will be in better shape. I also hope they can pump some money into the carts and cart paths.
Greens are the best conditioned part of the course. Roll nicely however extremely slow. Fairways still have not recovered from late freeze and are still patchy. Should improve visually throughout summer but do not affect play. Courteous staff when engaged but only saw 3 staff the entire day. Overall decent day. Course condition not as good as Metro courses & price is 1.5x more. The lack of crowd is actually to it's advantage.

I like this course
I live in Florida so probably won't play this course again but it is worth checking out....lots of water, hills and slopes to the greens not a place for beginners...pretty houses and a really nice back yard water feature at one of the tee boxes
Course I wants to charge a premium price for a very average experience. Greens and sand traps are excellent , but the fairways are lousy.
Great course, slow play
The staff is friendly and efficient, course in very good shape with bunkers well maintained but slow play was the norm. Played later in the day. Waited on every hole. At first thought it was fact we were twosome and had a foursome in front of us but quickly realized group in front of us, and group in front of them was waiting every hole. When we made turn after front nine holes we re-played first nine as there were three foursomes on the 10th tee box. Marshall was needed to keep play moving but never saw one.
Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the pace of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing The Legacy. We hope to see you again soon.

Great greens
The greens were some of the best I’ve ever seen. The fairways still have some patches of dead grass but I spoke to the staff and they really seem to care. We teed off at 8:17 and made it around in 3:45 on a Wednesday. Hooray
