Great staff

From the time I arrived they got my bag! Checked in with pro told him I been wanting to play for 3 years and looking forward to it! He gave me a course book showing everything. It helped. Then met Dave the starter! He got us off on time.
I like the course not sure it worth the full price!
Lucky for me I got a nice discount from golf now!
Course great shape will play again!

Head Scratcher

The Bad….slow isn’t even the word. Almost 4 hours to get through 13 holes. Gave up and driving in there was a foursome almost 3 full holes behind with no one in front!!! Why would a course like this not have a ranger to keep things moving. Makes NO common sense!!! Now the good….The greens are in great shape!!! For those who have played here for years you know this has been an issue in the past. There was no where to warm up. Bought a bag of balls and no room on the range. Get there really early if you want to hit a few before you tee off.

The course was in excellent condition. The pace of play was slow resulting from golfers playing from the back tees rather than moving up to shorter tee boxes.

Legacy Review 1/8/2023

Course is in great shape, pace of play was perfect and it is always a challenging layout. My only negative is cost. I can play same course during summer months at 1)3 of the cost.

Tough back nine

I the coarse is Great but challenging, but I do not like the back nine. The par 3 that requires complete carryover a lake will make me not want to play this course again.

Best Public Course!!

From beginning to the end, the experience of dropping off your clubs to finish playing was perfect. We had lunch first before playing and the food was very good ( chicken tacos).
The course is in phenomenal shape. The fairways are like a carpet, the tee boxes are in great shape and more importantly the greens are like playing copperhead and TPC Sawgrass. I have ZERO complaints. This is a must play on your list. The back 9 is gorgeous. We played from the tips and I shot 72 but the people playing with our group shot probably closer to 100. They had a lot of 3-putts. Needless to say, this place is a must play.

Great greens, nice day

Great day at Legacy with friends, Greens were fast and that made scoring tough for me. Course in good shape with some soft spots short of greens and around edges of greens. No bounce up shots. Will be back. Staff very friendly inside and out on course

Beautiful course

Everything about this golf course was awesome. Staff was very nice. Played alone instead of a 4 some. One guy went out on 10 early the starting hole that day, the other two went one 1. So be it. Course conditions exceptional. Greens rolled true ,a little sandy didn't seem to affect the ball roll.I had 4 BIRDIES . I'm bogey golfer and I shot a 78 from #3 tees(whites). Great time .

Fun day at our old stomping grounds

We hadn’t been back for 3 years ( since Covid) but it was a lot of fun. Your cart paths and bridges need some love and attention though. It was a great treat to get to play from Golf Now! Best deal I’ve ever gotten! Unfortunately we can’t afford to play with the prices like they are now. We used to play 2-3 times a week and I miss it.

Very Nice Golf Course

Legacy Golf Club at Lakewood Ranch is in the top 2 or 3 public golf courses in the Sarasota/Bradenton area. It was very affordable if you don’t mind playing in the afternoon. I love the layout and my guest was very impressed with Legacy.
