About
Honoring the wishes of Lela and Charles Hilton, Legacy Golf Club is named in honor of their beloved son "Chip." He started playing daily at age 9 with a genuine love and excitement for the sport. He was on the Bay High School golf team, apprenticing with golf pro-Kenny Lind and made golf his vocation. As a professional golf instructor, he taught his students invaluable life lessons, emphasizing that golf is not a game of perfection but a comeback. He also believed golf was more than just a game; it was full of essential life skills such as patience, perseverance, determination, and overcoming obstacles and setbacks.
The golf club, established in 1965, is a championship course with challenging greens designed to test golfers with even the sharpest short-game skills. The fairways are generously sized with lakes and white sand bunkers that fiercely guard the elevated greens. Players should be prepared to use every club in their bag. The golf course is challenging but fair and enjoyable, making it a good test of skill without inciting frustration. Its playability, enhanced with three sets of tees, has made it one of Florida's most popular tracks. Legacy Golf Club also boasts extensive practice facilities, including a lighted driving range, chipping green, expansive putting green, Executive Course, and Bar and Grille.

Rushed tee time
Little frustrating where we arrived and were rushed to the tee because a group of 40 was behind us. Feel like the tee times for the large group should have been longer than 9 minutes after our tee time. We felt rushed all day. Why have a hot deal at 11:51 and then a group of 40 at noon.
Golf
Course was ok and greens where a little fast but overall not bad for the price I paid on Golf now but not worth the full price if I had not gotten a deal
Spring Break Golf
Met up with a high school friend to play some golf in Panama City. Worth the drive and had a good time. A little pricier than what it used to be for an above average course.
Like The Course But Conditions Are Not Up To Par
We really enjoyed playing legacy, but this time the The course was not in good condition
I know it will be back. I think I’ll give it a month and try again
Course played very well today. A few issues with the greens but minor.
My Final Round @ Legacy Golf Course
Alas, I'm heading back to Canada and my snowbird golf is complete for this winter. I enjoyed a total of 16 rounds at the Legacy Golf Course during my stay in PCB, Florida. I thoroughly enjoyed this course; nearly always being added to a group of fellow-snowbirds and / or retirees. I can recommend this course for fellow "winter golf" enthusiasts. I'll hope to be back in future winters.
Legacy
Nice course. Fairways in good shape. Greens also in good shape and fast.
Winter Conditions Improving
The greens are running true still need some grass to grow in the fairways.
Best course in Panama city
I have played all the 18 hole courses you can play and legacy is the best. It is rather expensive but with the limited number of courses there is high demand. I liked this course better than bay point. The layout is not as tricked up as bay point. ( I am an 8 index)
Enjoyed The Legacy.
My wife and I both enjoyed playing this course. Nice layout, pace of play was great, and many different tee boxes to choose from.
Winter Conditions Improving
The fairway grass is starting to come in nicely; getting a little more roll in the fairway on drives. The greens are coming along nicely, too. I enjoy playing this course while being a snowbird down from Canada.
Winter Golf
The course was fairly empty due to clouds and chance of rain, but I enjoyed the round as a single, playing through only a few foursomes and finishing in 1 hour and 39 minutes. The fairways are a bit bare but the greens roll pretty well. The rough isn’t an issue.
Ouch! My Wallet Hurts
First of all, is it Legacy Golf Club or Holiday Golf Club? The website (www.legacygolfpcb.com) has both: click on tee times and the main window says Holiday while each tee time box says Legacy; the contact info on one page says hank@holidaygolfclub.com; even a sign inside the clubhouse says Holiday Golf Club.
As noted in a previous review, the price is fairly steep compared to courses we've played here and between here and back home. Without GolfNow discounts it would have cost over $160 for the 2 of us. My guess is with only three "public" 18-hole courses they can pretty much charge whatever and not suffer.
Despite the price, the GPS carts, putting green, 5 tee boxes, fairways, bunkers, and greens were in good shape. The layout was challenging with plenty of must-carries and sand. In addition, on this day the course greens did not match the practice one for speed, which took a few putts to realize they were actually slower.
I can recommend the course but will not play again unless the price comes down.
