COURSE INFO

The Legacy Golf Club is a golf course that can be enjoyed by players of all abilities. Novice golfers will enjoy the choice of four different tee areas on each hole and ample fairway room for driving the ball. The experienced golfer will be challenged by the precision required for approach shots and the undulating putting surfaces. All golfers will be impressed by the manicured bent grass fairways, tees and greens and the thick, lush green Kentucky blue grass rough areas.

The par-35 front nine features many bunkers and several water hazards that will come into play on five of the holes. There are six par fours on the front nine that give you a variety of required shots. Putting greens are strategically sized to accept the approach for the particular hole. The second hole, a par four, is a beautiful downhill driving hole with a spectacular approach over a five acre lake. The par 3 fifth hole and the seventh hole will put a premium on obtaining the correct distance with your tee shot(the GPS should help). The par five sixth will tempt many to go for the green in two.

The par-37 back nine will be a stern test with water hazards contributing on all nine holes. The inward nine begins with two risk-reward par fives. The par fours on the back nine require pin-point tee shots through the hilliest part of the course. Big hitters may take a chance at driving the par four thirteenth for a chance at an eagle putt. However, large greenside bunkers and a hazard to the right will catch errant shots. Tee shots off the par three holes fourteen and seventeen may cause hesitation in club selection with possible swirling winds over a large lake. The par five eighteenth will be a 611 yard monster from the back tee, culminating with a large amphitheatre green area.
