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.

What a nice surprise!
I typically play the Destin courses, but a friend recommended Legacy. It did not disappoint. Fairways and greens (super fast) were perfect. Great value for money. I'll be back.
If you can get a deal good course
Regular price is high and probably not worth the cost. You usually can catch a deal and then it is a good bargain.
Not as Good as It Used to Be
Play this course using hot deal or later in the day as $110 prime time rate for the course is too much. Greens were spotty and had disease developing on some. Played in less than 3 hours because course was not crowded in the mid morning. Have played this course for years and it has lost a lot of quality and price has gone way up.
Nice Course
Overall the course is in pretty good condition. Greens are fast but roll true. Very nice and helpful staff. Enjoyed our round would go back.
Course closed
Severe weather closed the course, would like a refund
First time out!
Played Legends for the first time. Enjoyed it completely. Greens cut short and were fast but rolled true. Course layout is challenging but fair. Choice of many tee blocks make it playable for all skill levels in my group. Fairways wide for those mishits. Playing course again in two days. I’m 64 with a 15 handicap.
Golf
We ended up booking to play this course a second time. Conditions, price and proximity made the decision easy enough to book again. We were paired with another couple which made it even more enjoyable.
Fastest greens ever & best condition
I hadn’t played here in a few years & it was in great shape .The fairways are good & the greens are so fast it was difficult to score. Booked thru golf now so the price was better than the course rate but still overpriced for a late t time. Pace of play was great..played in just over 4 hours.
Good golf course
Greens very nice, but very fast. Very challenging and large undulating greens. Staff very accommodating. Carts new and have very accurate GPS. Had a good day!!
Good course
Course is in good shape. The greens are mowed short and there's not a ton of grass on them so they roll fast. I like fast greens so that was fine. Everything was mowed and course layout is pretty good. I didnt expect it to be pristine
for 85 bucks, this time of the year. Course wise, I'd play it again. Thing that impressed me the most, was the staff! Everyone was very polite and very friendly.
Nice Course
Typical Florida Public Course. In decent shape and played a little slow, but all in all and nice round of golf. Not sure about everyday, but greens were very fast and true. Everyone was super friendly and the beer was cold. If I’m in the area again, I’d play it again.
Nice track
Course was renamed from holiday golf club to legacy golf club. Daily rate was increased significantly but Golfnow was half the price. Course tees, fairways, and greens were in good shape considering the season. Greens were cut really short and rolled to alleviate the small amount of POA. Played with two other Golfnow people that were very corteous
Good course
Enjoyed the round. Good course with a challenging layout. Greens are sparse on grass and very fast. Fairways are thin and tees aren't level. Value was average considering it was winter in Florida. I wouldn't want to pay $100 to play here. Watch for a hot deal..
