Great Course & Layout

Third time playing this course in the past three years and the conditions were probably the best so far.
Played an early morning around so there was no holdups whatsoever.
Course has a moderate driving range, chipping area and practice green.
Personally, I really enjoy the layout, as it meanders through various areas.
While not as spotless as higher end (and more $$ courses), a treat to play.
Greens rolled true and sand bunkers were white, fluffy and all raked.
Starter and shop attendant were both quality individuals.
As mentioned, I enjoy this layout and the improvements that are currently being made to the overall course conditions.

Great Course & Conditions

First time playing the course and was impressed.
Early morning tee time so there was no holdup whatsoever, however we did see a Marshall 3X during our round.
Course was very well maintained throughout, tee box to green.
Greens rolled very true and were fast.
Definitely on the list of courses to play next time in the Orlando area.

Great Prep Course for Pinehurst Trip

Thoroughly enjoyed our round at the Preserve. Initial course played before proceeding to Southern Pines area. As northerners, we had no problem with the low-60 degree temps. Course, for the most-part, was pretty empty. It rained previous night so some spots a little wet. Greens were rolling fast and true. Loved the contour and elevation changes throughout the entire 18 holes. Pro shop attendant was courteous & efficient. Course is worth the drive, although it was on our way to Pinehurst. Definitely on the list to play on our next trip!

Fine Early Morning Round

Given the drought conditions experienced in Florida, I thought the course was in pretty good shape. Played the course in January for 1st time and came back due to the layout. Tee boxes and fairways really nice and manicured. Greens are still new and with lack of rain are somewhat hard, so plan for some roll.
Check in and starter etc. all top notch.
I've enjoyed playing the course both times

Legends - Great Course & Day

We thoroughly enjoyed our round from check in to eating at the course restaurant. Not sure what all the previous negative comments were about. A couple of greens were spotty as were a few fairways but that can obviously be overlooked when rating the entire course. The layout is tremendous and the greens rolled true. All bunkers were raked and no problem with tee boxes. Have already penciled in another round at the Legends this time next year.
For those of you which care about all the other misc. stuff besides golf, check-in was fast & efficient, cart girl was very friendly and the entire staff was great including our waitress for lunch.

Early Jan. 27 Morning Round

Played as a single early in Jan. 2015.
I thoroughly enjoyed the
course. Many unique and interesting holes, particularly 14-17. Over half the holes travel thru a residential community but all tee boxes are a distance from the homes. Many holes have water but fairways are wide enough to avoid. All traps were raked and although greens were top-coated, ran very tru and fast. Staff was friendly as well, from check-in to starter. Will play again when in the area.

Late Jan. 2015 Round

Exceptional course. Practise facility is awesome.
Check in was fine and starter was very accommodating.
Fairways were cut to appropriate level. Greens ran very true and fast. Lots of undulations and note to stay below the hole. Pin spot #1 is the toughest I am told out of the 6 given. All carts have card with pin positions.
Hit tee ball very well which assisted in playing the course well.
Definitely play this course when you're in the area.

Impressed, 02/12/14

Had an early tee time and played as single. Was impressed by the course conditions. Greens were rolling very true. Traps all raked. Fairways cut to perfect length. Some very interesting holes. Nice elevation changes. Being so close to the strip, real good venue for the price. Would definitely come back. Staff equally friendly including cart kids.

Great Condition 08/19/13

Secured an early tee time on Aug. 19. 2013.
Female rep. at front desk very courteous and knowledgeable.
Bag drop rep. in front, the same.
Thought conditions were very good.
Greens were fast and rolled true.
The lone bunker I was in was raked and sand was of sufficient quality to blast out of.
Pace of play was awesome (just 4 hours).
Second time playing this year.
Definitely enjoy the back 9 more ... that 1 very short par 3 on front, not a fan of.
All in all, good golfing experience.

JULY 13, 2013 review

Course was in much better condition than the last time I played in 2012. The areas which were rock/hard-pan in 2012 are now being watered.
Tee boxes were all in fine condition and the greens were rolling very true and fast.
Playing partner advised the bunkers were also in very good condition (fortunate enough not to be in one that day).
Took advantage of discount rate and enjoyed the course.
Ranger & cart girl both very pleasant during the round.

Great Condition for April

Played the course April 15, while most in the WNY region are either not open or under water from the recent rains.
Thought the course was in great shape .... with only a couple holes (fairways) wet due to the rain as noted above.
Was in only 1 sand trap (green-side) but it was raked and the groundskeeper was out with full crew maintaining nearly all of the holes.
Greens rolled very true, as did most chip shots.
The course - for the time of year and with the rain - was in fantastic condition.

Both Legend courses are Fantastic

Both Legend courses are always in great (prestine) shape.
I typically play them, both, twice a year.
For the past 5 years, they are easily in my top 3 in the Niagara Region & western NY to play.
Greens roll true and are quick.
Outstanding venue.
