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.

Good course, but so very slow!
Course was in good shape; however, the pace of play was absolutely terrible.
Challenging greens
Excellent course. Quite a few holes where less than driver is the best tee shot. Beautiful, fast greens but dang they’re tough.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing The Legacy.

rolling hills
You will lose a couple balls but , you'll find a couple too. Good mix of hazards to keep your club selection keen but, not too many to be crazy. Scottish style of play where you rarely get a flat lie to hit from. Beautiful and picturesque landscape. The course is a little out of the way but I'll return to play another round or two, or more.
Thank you for visiting us at The Legacy. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Surprised this is on any “top” list
Gimmicky layout (typical for a Raymond Floyd course). Greens were in decent enough shape, rest of the course was very poor condition. No ranger and 2 foresomes jumped ahead at the turn, not sure how they allow that?
It’s a tired course, not expensive but would take a hard pass on it for sure.
Course in great condition!
Excellent day of golf on a course that was worth the money paid. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing The Legacy.
No ranger. Pace of play is a killer. No excuse for a 2 hour 40 minute 9 holes- 5 hour round. Staff actually was upset we booked through Golf Now. Said they never saw any of that money. The course itself plays nicely and is in above average shape.
Sadly, not worth the effort.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!

First time playing
Fun course. Great layout. Beautiful scenery. Range balls were hot garbage that literally scratched the heck out of my clubs. Bottom line, fun course but avoid the range balls.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting The Legacy, and we hope to see you again in the future.
One of the best in the area!
I play this course every trip to Nashville about 3 times per year. It's a fun course and is always in good shape! Staff is always friendly and makes you feel welcome!

Don’t use any online booking call the shop
I was charged 11 dollars to book a tee time through this awful site. Asked about it at the pro shop checking in and the great staff at this course took the ridiculous booking fee these places charge off my round. 11 dollars to book a tee time online? Most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. Call all shops and make tee times, never use these sites. Rip off. The Legacy course however is amazing. Challenging…

Always fun
Great layout with different looks on each hole.
Conditions were good considering the weather lately.
I Always recommend The Legacy, if you haven’t played yet, do yourself a favor and play here.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon. Thanks for choosing The Legacy.
Yardage Please...!
There's a lot to like about the Legacy Golf Course. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The layout is interesting and keeps you on your toes with lots of blind teeshots...and the greens are in good shape overall.
But I could find a hundred yard marker on only one hole. Which meant I had to either guess my yardage (not easy with all the elevation changes) or pace 70 - 80 yards to either the 150 marker or the green to choose my club. So waste time or miss the green...
Beware, there is not a drop of water to drink on the entire course. They don't even have a drinking fountain in the clubhouse....
Thank you for sharing your feedback about your experience at the Legacy Golf Course. We appreciate your kind words about our friendly staff and well-maintained greens. We apologize for the inconvenience of not having enough yard markers and a lack of drinking water on the course. We will take your comments into consideration to improve our facilities.

disappointed
I thought once we had rain and heat to grow grass the fairways would be better Rough around the greens too. I like the layout. Need a ranger to keep pace of play. No one wants to play a 5 hour round.
