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.

Greens and fairways were great!

Played here Sunday and came back again Monday. Tom was so friendly. Beats the pants off Signal Hill. Worth the extra money. Pace of play wasn’t bad and only noticed it more since we were a twosome who played fast and kept it in the fairway. Still a fair round time of right at four hours. Maybe less.

Must Play for all levels.

Would have given an excellent for course condition, but the greens were to dressed and then mowed which raised the difficulty of reading putts with the sand. The fairways and tee box's were excellent. Difficult to lose your ball when missing the fairway, the underbrush was well maintained. Must have been a fluke but, had to wait several times for mowers to clear out of our play area, they finished their job before moving on. Thought that was strange making us wait!

First time to play course

I’ve played better and I’ve played worse courses in the area. Not worth the early price but worth afternoon price or hot deal pricing. Overall the course had a great layout and nice greens. A little trouble around the fairways with some water but not an issue. I would recommend this course to play if your in the area but again get the hot deal if possible.

Legacy revier

The course had recently plugged the greens, but they were very playable. The overall condition of the course was good. However, there are a lot of weeks growing around the greens that do affect the playability and influence what shot you must play in the short game. There is no putting from the fringes.

Great course

The only reason I didn't give a 5 is because they had just seeded the greens. They are working on the course to make it truly "premier" and it shows. Love this place! Staff are great and the amenities are superior.

Good course for the money

Course conditions were nice, the greens were rolling a little slow, tee boxes were okay. Most holes were dog legs and had water and a green side bunker. Carts were nice with gps included. The only downsides were the pace of play was slower, there wasn’t any “wow” course features, and the lady bartender in the clubhouse was rude. She was one worded and not friendly at all. The cart girls were super nice and came around frequently. Worth a play but bring your own water with you!

Overall a good experience - nice destination course.

Overall it was a great course. Only two staff members were welcoming(the starter and one bar counter woman), the rest acted as if they could care less if you were there or not. Tipped the cart boys very well and they were very appreciative. Will be back again for another round but won’t expect any hospitality.

A solid experience

One of the only reasons we played this course was because of a Hot Deal on GolfNow we couldn't refuse. I saw some prices reflecting $110 and this is not a course remotely close to that price-point. But at the end of the day, it was a solid track. They just bought new golf carts and the club house looks freshly renovated. The course was in good shape, a lot better than what some of the reviews stated. I'm a righty and I typically draw the ball. That was one of my only gripes. Most holes are dog leg rights and if you can't fade the ball, it can put you in some precarious situations. Wish there was a tad more variety to the layout. Staff was pleasant and the pace of play was superb for being a public course. As long as prices can stay in the $70 range, I'll be back next year when we take another family vacation.

Getting Better

I see improvement in this course. I’ve played it 50 times over the last 20 years and I really enjoy it. I wish them luck but I think it needs more improvement before they charge the rates they do, especially when the greens have just been top dressed.
The person at the desk needs to smile. She is young so maybe she will learn. staff

Decent track greens need a little work.

I paid for a GolfNow hot Deal rate and even though the course wasn’t busy, they did make me wait until our entire foursome was there to start which is fine. We played in three hours and 20 minutes but if our foursome would’ve held up the folks that paid $110 for the round I can see how that would be an issue. Fairways were extremely generous, and in good shape and all 18 greens had a ton of sand on them, some with some bad areas. Overall, the greens still rolled pretty good but not sure I would pay more than $75 to play this course.
