 The
Legacy
By Ron Reece, The Internet Golf Guy
The Legacy Golf Club is a highly acclaimed course located in scenic Green Valley, approximately 20 minutes from Las Vegas Blvd. Voted "Best Course in Nevada" by the Las Vegas Review Journal and considered "Top 10 in Nevada" by Golf Digest, this Arthur Hills design will give you all you can handle as you attempt to tackle this monster. Annually playing host to the U.S. Open qualifying event for Southern Nevada, the Legacy is demanding, long, and a lot of fun to play.
Bring the big dog with you and use it frequently. This 7,233-yard par-72 features fairways that are long, multi-tiered, and flanked by natural desert surroundings forcing the golfer to take it deep. Bring the camera with you and use it on the 10th hole, which features one of the most unique tee-boxes in the world: four sets of tees that represent each suit -- hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades. Yes, it is a testament to Vegas, but your friends won't believe it until you pull out the proof.
When (if) you survive the fairways, you have waiting for you greens that are elevated and very quick. The undulations on many can be severe, and depending on pin placement, can make or break your round. While the course features very little water, there is plenty of grass and sand bunkering around the greens to test your game on approach shots and short "up and downs."
The Legacy Golf Club does not quite make our "must play" list, however we feel that it is the perfect course to compliment a multiple-day golf package, or the right course for those who prefer a mixture of links and traditional feel without chasing balls in the desert all day.
