When the architect Rees Jones created the golf course at the Legend Trail Golf Club, he created a golf course that brings out the Old West-style air of Scottsdale and a fun and testing golf course with greens made of bent grass. It's a premium golf course smack dab in the Sonora Desert.

The golf course at the Legend Trail Golf Club features broad fairways, diminutive bunkering and tees placed on islands, and has been called one of the Top 100 golf courses by Golf Magazine. The magazine also gives Legend Trail 4.5 stars out of five among its

Best Places to Play, and has one of the Top 100 Woman-Friendly Fairways, according to Golf For Women magazine. Panoramas include local sites like Pinnacle Peak, and a round at Legend Trail Golf Club gives all levels of golfer several different shot-making options.

Golf a late-afternoon round on Friday or Saturday, and head back to the Trail's End Grill from 4 to 6 p.m. for specials on drinks and appetizers.

Great desert layout

Overall the course was in good shape with fun holes! However, we paid $250 per person, not worth it! At that price, I would not recommend it to anyone.

Traditional desert course

We had a great time and enjoyed the course very much. Fast greens and smooth fairways made for a very enjoyable round. Pro shop staff and grill staff were both very friendly and pleasant.

Mediocre at Best

The course itself is ok. I wouldn't say the price is worth it. The only thing that made my experience great were the friendly rangers that I've seen a few times that I've been to this course. One of the staff members was extremely rude and disrespectful, and for that reason, I would gladly choose to play elsewhere. I don't understand how one is even employed at any establishment.

Fun and Challenging Course

It was a cold and windy day when we played Legend Trail, and we still had a fun day. The golf course was in good condition and it was an interesting layout. There were a few holes where local course knowledge was important, so suggest playing with someone who's been there, done that if possible your first time. The green fees were a bit steep, but it is peak season.

Overall disappointment

Course was in terrible condition right before reseeding, but the rates did not reflect it. Definitely not worth the $300 paid for a twosome. Have gone to places that are less than half of that and have been way better.
