Plays better than it looks

Visually this is not a great golf course. Areas barely off the fairways are mainly rock and hard dirt. However the fairways, traps and tees are OK...and while the greens look pretty BAD and theyre slow...they actually roll quite well. You’re getting what you paid for

Better than expected

While there are a lot of dead spots on some fairways and greens the course was “playable” and better than I expected. We were first off the tee and finished in well under four hours so overall it was a positive experience..I’ll try it again soon

Where are the people?

Great layout and in good condition (especially the greens). Teed off before 1:00; never saw another group so subsequently played in under three hours. Range area is great and Legacy has a large putting green. My only complaint was that the canteen wasn’t open either before I teed off or on the turn...thank goodness for the cart girl!

Better than expected

This is I nice little (short) track that clearly lacks the financial resources to keep it in good shape...but I’ll give them credit they’ve kept the fairways and greens playable as the temperature has risen. It’s good value for the money which contributes to the number and types of players it attracts...expect a slow round

Holding on

This is a good layout that suffered the past few years. However this season the Foothills rebounded a little and can be described as an “average” track searching for some water on the fairways and the greens. Cudos to the staff; the course is “holding on” as the temperatures rise. Good idea to play here soon before the heat changes the playability from average to non-playable...

But for now it’s a decent value

Tough place to get a burger

Golf course and practice areas were great. We were sent out on the back 9 first. The Cart girl didn’t carry any food but we were assured we could eat on the turn, but the canteen area was closed when we finished our 9...it was just after 3:00....no amenities on our last 9 ..it was hot ...and we were hungry..kind of ruined our afternoon. Good thing the course was excellent!

I think this is a quality layout and I was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the course. Some rough spots on a few fairways but overall much better than I expected!

Better Than I Remember

It’s been a couple of years since I played there. I was pleasantly surprised by the improvement in course conditions. Grass tees on the range. Tees, fairways and greens were not lush but quite playable. Pace of play was just over 4 hours ( a bit slow) but overall decent value

Corporate Outing Ahead Oops!

The Links at Biltmore is a fine track. Practice range and greens more than acceptable although $10 for a bucket of range balls seemed high. Course was in good condition and the pace of play was fine until we caught the “corporate outing” in front of us...then it ground to a halt!..Oh well next time!

Short and tight

Very nice layout...short and tight BP with nice greens, tees and fairways. Lots of water to make the course visually appealing. Surrounding houses are nice to look at but can often come into play. Practice range uses "fake " golf balls which makes warm up unsatisfactory but overall a very good experience

A gem

The Adobe course is a great "resort layout" ...Wide open with receptive greens. We played as a twosome in three hours. Great day

Not great

Greens...tees and fairways were mediocre. However anything not on the fairway was on the crushed stone and these areas extended into what used to be the first cut of rough. Staff in the pro shop and lounge were nice but this is definitely a "Muni"!

Great course ..Great Day

Super course and warm up facilities. Great condition...I think it's one of the top courses in Phoenix..if you get a chance to play either Whirlwind course you should take it!

Best value in Mesa

Course condition was fabulous. This is a tough track...Lots of "target" shots ...so if the wind is up Id advise playing a shorter course...you'll enjoy it more

Nobody's home

This course is a nice layout but it is is very bad shape. Tees are ok but fairways are poor and several greens had massive sections "cut out" in preparation to reseed. Range was mats only! Price was very low so no complaint about the overall value. I played in two hours because there was nobody out there but it's a shame what has happened to this track!

Tough times in Truro

Truro is a nice layout however the greens and tees are still in very rough shape. Obviously still recovering from a devastating winter! While I wouldn't rush back to play it , I also wouldn't discard it entirely. It's an interesting track and will turn around by fall

Great shape but slow

Greens, tees and fairways are in great shape but the course was jammed with foursomes and the pace of play was a bit slow. Nice practice range, chipping area and putting green makes Legacy good value...as long as your patient.
