Reviews
This review is not about the course because we never got to play it this time. We have played the course previously and found it well maintained for summer conditions. For our last visit I would have given the course a 4.0 overall rating. The only negative was that the last 4 holes had brown areas in the fairways, so you were playing off of dirt in some spots. Other than that the course conditions and the friendliness of the staff were very good. This time we booked a summer Hot Deal tee time. The course was completely open, so we went early anticipating accommodations from the staff for an earlier start. Every course we've played this summer has allowed that as very few people were playing in the heat in Scottsdale. What a shock we had at the abject rudeness of the golf shop basically saying " You booked through GolfNow and got a cheap tee time, so you have to play then. We won't let you out earlier." We felt like we were being treated as an unwelcome customer because we were saving $13 on the tee time! Too bad for them because I cancelled the time. So the course had literally one player after we left, and they lost out on our money altogether. Based on the arrogance of one haughty staff member we would never recommend this course. We live ten minutes away and would still never go back. Fortunately there are 3 other courses the same distance or closer that we can patronize, along with many others just a short distance further.
Overall, a great first experience. Club house attendants and club drop folks were very friendly. Challenging course but a lot of fun. Some dry spots on the fairways and such, but overall course is in good shape. Somewhat moderately priced. (Round in April 2025)
Great condition in-season play. Chipping and putting greens with many holes to practice. Grass driving range. Proshop, food and beverage, and facility are very opulent. Maybe some more options for energy drinks might be nice. Tough course, very tight. Total difference between playing in the fairway or not playing in desert surroundings. You must hit the fairway. Some difficult teaser par fours that I would totally play differently next time I come. Gorgeous views and wildlife all throughout the course were exciting to see. There were a lot of elevation changes throughout the course. Ranger was present to keep pace of play, and beverage cart made many visits throughout our round, definite plus with a tough course. Would definitely recommend and will most likely return many more times. Thanks, Legend Trail Golf Club.
Top 5 Golf course of the 60 courses I’ve played around the Valley. Great layout, greens are pure. Fairways and rough is ideal. Truly a beautiful golf course and I highly recommend playing this when you’re looking for a great course to challenge your game.
It was a great round of golf. Very challenging. A place to come and try to hone your golf skills. I will be back. Beautiful location and back drops. Many tee off pics taken! The only thing is maybe a bottle or two of water would be good. And eventually GPS on the carts would be good too. I used my personal one. So it was fine.... Otherwise great. Great rangers and friendly folks .. Daniel C. Scottsdale
