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.

Not Worth The Money or Trouble
Cost for what you get is not worth it. Also I’m glad I have the GolfNow App because trying to book a tee time here over the phone is a nightmare.
Legacy aka Holiday
Greens were not in the best shape, especially for this time of year, could be a tough summer there
Well Maintained
First time playing and we had a ball. Greens were fast as lightning for this beginner but the course is fairly and challenging.
No Singles Before 8am?
Don’t allow singles to go off before 8am even though almost every tee time before then is not booked. Seems like the best time to allow singles to play alone.
Great staff, great carts w/GPS, not so great greens
1st time playing here, for $96 I expected a lot more from the course. Given it’s the “off season” the fairways and bunkers were in great shape. The greens however were not. The nicest green on the course was the practice green by the club house, after that it was green after green of weeds, fungus and untreated sandy edges. Nothing like throwing dart and then trying to putt out over all these weeds. I was paired with a local that said that this place is always like this, so not sure where that $100 per player is going because it’s certainly not to any grounds keepers
Lack of Turf
Fairways had little grass , tha greens were fast because the grass or grain was dormant . Little sparse spriggs of grass growing which would alter the direction of your putt.
Course had a challenging layout , would recommend playing it in spring , summer or fall but my course in ky would shame these greens and our winter rate is 27.00 not 90.00
Decent if you can get the right price
The course is decent, has some weird holes but overall challenging. Condition was alright besides the fact they seem to get a lot of players with poor golf etiquette. Multiple greens had giant divots from I could only assume was someone stomping a ball directly into the green. So they could use a Marshall on the course, but I will be back playing again the afternoon times are a decent price for the area and quality.
Overpriced
Course is an ok course certainly not worth what they are charging .the course was not in that great of shape . It’s a 40 dollar course at best
Good Greens
Course was about as expected based on other reviews.. not a $90 course, but also not a ton to choose from within 10 miles. Greens were in great shape, had interesting undulation, and very firm which made scoring well pretty tough.. course overall is pretty open with well placed water hazards. Not super exotic, but solid layout overall. I would play it again.
Okay course In Panama City
Pins were some what unreasonable on 4 of the holes. Interesting shop staff with friendly outside services.
Great Golf
Greens are excellent, rolled true, fairways are in excellent shape . Perfect weather paired with an excellent course made this an outing to remember. Pace was perfect.
