Legacy Golf Club sits on 28 acres of Dwight B. Heard's turn-of-the-20th-century ranch, home to 1902 silos that decorate the 18th fairway - once the tallest manmade things in Maricopa County. More history is on the first tee, in the Sierra Vista House which counts among its early-1900s visitors Theodore Roosevelt and Pancho Villa.

Gary Panks designed the golf course at the Legacy Golf Club, giving it lush fairways, strategic hazards and manicured greens to test all golfers. Native flora grows from the landscape, and the club's elevation offers a vista of Camelback Mountain, Squaw Peak and the skyline of Phoenix.

Slow play negates a good day

The Legacy is a beautiful course, well manicured and contoured greens, wide enough fairways but trouble is nearby for the errant shot. The bunkers are just and true. But a beautiful round is messed up with slow play. Every hole was a wait. Every shot was a wait. The beautiful conditions and weather made up somewhat for the delays, but in the end it needs to be addressed.

A beautiful round interrupted by slow play

The course is beautiful and well maintained, but the foursome in front went undetected by rangers and played at a deliberate pace or were just golfers unsuited to this course. There was a good 2 hole gap in front of them by the 6th hole making our round tedious and slow. More could be done to speed the play up.
Still it was a beautiful day!

Poor pro shop help

We were not greeted very nicely by the golf shop. They didn’t asked if we had been there before, and so acted like our questions were dumb.
The website didn’t explain that after the 3pm tee times the price it was only for 9 holes. We were fine with that but not having been explain on the website would be a good suggestion.
The website states a pack of three balls for club rentals were to be provided none were.

Friendly Marshal

I never new marshals could be this friendly and nice and still do their jobs effectively - would love to see this kind of attitude more often. Otherwise course was in condition and decent pace of play. Hole 9 and 10 are beside practice range and without netting so many range balls find their way onto these holes.

Not for those that play forward tees

Beautiful course for many golfers but unfair for those needing to play the forward (women, seniors, etc.) tees. The following is a quote from the USGA......."A forward tee distance that is closer to 4,000 yards than 5,000 yards is a better fit for far more players – including the average female golfer and many others with slower swing speeds." The so-called forward tees at the Legacy are 5471 yards and are labeled as 'Womens' Tees...anything other than some par 3's the greens can't be reached in 'regulation.' MOVE THEM UP!

Hard to find for the Price

This is the best kept secret in the Phoenix area. You could spend more money but you will not find a better kept course. Just stunning. Rough was not all desert. The greens held better than most. Loved this place. Cost a little more but if you want high class golf this is the place. Saff was helpful and friendly to a fault. Enjoy.

Great Day for Golf

Had an enjoyable day as the course conditions were great and the weather cooperated as well. A little breezy at times but not really a factor.

Great playing a course where the roughs and boundary areas were as well maintained as the fairways and greens.

Only issue was trying to get used to the golf carts since they are programmed to disengage when you got to close to a restricted area. Problem is that the restricted areas weren't really marked and several times we were unaware that we "entered" those areas while in the fairway and were still 20 yards from the cart markers and over 50 yards from the green.

A great option!

Fun layout, that can test long and short hitters alike. Course, especially the greens, was in great shape. Staff was very friendly. Pace of play was decent; took us about 4:15 to play 18. Would definitely play again.
