Horrible pace of play

I will not return. The GPS said 30 min behind at the 9th hole. The back 9 was even slower. It was going to be a 6 hr round so we quit early.

Thank you for the feedback. Upon checking out GPS stats for the 4th July holiday and there were no rounds over 5 hours in length. Our target pace of play is 4:15 though so obviously that was not achieved on the busy July 4th holiday. We do monitor place of play and address throughout the day however with many first time players on the golf course it was somewhat unreasonable to expect anything less than 4:30 and our GPS should have been adjusted accordingly. We accept 5 hours is slow and own that problem on holidays but nothing indicates there was anything close to a 6 hour round of golf yesterday.
Regards,
Legacy Golf Pro Staff

Not worth for $70+

Paid over $70 for this course and we went there with high expectations. While they provide free food, soft drinks, and range balls, we were disappointed with the course. Many tee boxes had bald spots, uneven surfaces, and hard. Greens were slow with longer usual cuts, and fairways were not that great. I think the most of green fee was for views around the lake. I would rather play at Reunion or Chicopee with much less damage on my wallet and in my opinion, those course are in better condition. I would not play for $70+.
