Legends Golf & Country Club offers an 18-hole championship course that has become one of the most popular golf courses in central Florida. The course features dramatic elevation changes, which allow golfers to take in breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and citrus groves. Legends Golf & Country Club is known for its par-3 holes, but one of the most memorable holes is the par-4 fifth hole. The hole is a downhill dogleg left with an elevated tee that provides a spectacular view. Legends Golf & Country Club has a classic, moderately difficult layout that is difficult if approached too casually but also quite playable, even from the championship tees.

This course has some good features but poorly kept.

The course’s lay out is very good. The customer service is good. The greens are challenging and well maintained. But the fairways are bad. Lot of dry patches and several places no grass at all.

Fairways are Poor

The fairways were not too good and neither were the greens. Even the spots of the fairway that had grass were not too good because the grass was cut too short. The grass was burnt and missing in so many places. The greens were inconsistent because there were beige/brown spots that were faster than the greener parts of the green. The only thing that was good was the computer navigation in the carts. We will not be going back.

Legends is a nice course!

It's a beautiful course; very hilly. Way too hot of a day to thoroughly enjoy the play. The pace of play was perfect. We three played in just under four hours. The only thing that made to not perfect was how dry the course was.

Greens good

The greens are in really good shape as are the bunkers from what I saw, the fairways are a bit chipped up but nothing I would call any mean names , pace was awesome I was alone the starter had me tee off the back nine which was a nice change until somehow magically some older guy in Nike swim trunks was ahead of me waiting for the green to clear on par 5s from at least 270 out , so I watched and to my amusement I got to see 3 balls go directly into the lake , other than that always a nice time staff is cool , hot dog was good

A different course for Florida

Except for the Clermont/Mt. Dora area, most Florida courses are about the strategic use of water to force certain lines of play. Legends, like others in this area relies more on sloping fairways and changes in elevation. The greens and tee boxes are in good shape. Although, for their contours, some of the greens need to play a bit slower to be fair. One of my playing partners hit a putt from 50 feet to the upper shelf of the green, missed the top of the ridge by a couple of feet and had the ball roll back to within a couple of steps from where he started. That's a bit penal for amateur golf. It would also help if the speed on the practice green bore any resemblance to the speed on the course (of course it also doesn't help that most of the practice green is sloped away from where you approach it, while most of the greens are slopped towards the front).

Fairways are kept very short. So short unfortunately that a little frost in January/February has left some sizeable bare areas where the grass was killed by the frost. The short fairways allow for a lot of roll. Nice on a downhill, but less so on a sidehill. I may go back in the late summer to see if they have recovered.

Challenging course & friendly staff

I like this course, as it is one of the more challenging courses in the area. There is water, rolling hills, and elevation changes that make for a challenging round of golf.

The staff is very friendly. Great carts with GPS and the onsite restaurant is very good.

As for condtions....The tee boxes were awful on the front side, and improved on the back. Fairways were, well, just fair and the greens were in decent shape.

I got a great Hot Deal on this so I can not complain, but I would not have been happy to pay the full daily rate and had tee boxes without grass.

Fairways and rough

Course needs rest and recovery time. Fairways need grass. The rough is full of weeds. Layout is solid. Greens are solid. Tee boxes, fairways and rough need attention.

Little Grass

Fairway's and tee boxes were poor. Main dirt spots. Had to play preferred lies often to find grass. The putting green was impressively quick, the greens were healthy, but slow. Very disappointed to not have the grass range open. Unsure why not. The mats were poor quality. Course has a lot of potential with money and TLC. Staff was friendly.
