When the architect Rees Jones created the golf course at the Legend Trail Golf Club, he created a golf course that brings out the Old West-style air of Scottsdale and a fun and testing golf course with greens made of bent grass. It's a premium golf course smack dab in the Sonora Desert.

The golf course at the Legend Trail Golf Club features broad fairways, diminutive bunkering and tees placed on islands, and has been called one of the Top 100 golf courses by Golf Magazine. The magazine also gives Legend Trail 4.5 stars out of five among its

Best Places to Play, and has one of the Top 100 Woman-Friendly Fairways, according to Golf For Women magazine. Panoramas include local sites like Pinnacle Peak, and a round at Legend Trail Golf Club gives all levels of golfer several different shot-making options.

Golf a late-afternoon round on Friday or Saturday, and head back to the Trail's End Grill from 4 to 6 p.m. for specials on drinks and appetizers.

Don't Waste Your Time or Money

Some of us have lives that we actually enjoy. I get it, a lot of golfers don't mind wasting 8 hours to play 18 holes but this was ridiculous. I went in to the clubhouse after the front 9 took more than 2 1/2 hours and the staff didn't even entertain a discussion about a 9 hole rain check. Then, when I called the clubhouse about slow play, they seemed pretty annoyed that I even called. Unless you live within 10 minutes of this course, don't bother.

Monsoon rain has really helped

This is a difficult and unforgiving course with desert on both sides of the fairways and greens. Bring your A game, or several extra sleeves of balls.
The course is much greener since the last time I played in July. Overall it was enjoyable and I only lost a couple of balls..

Very nice course

This was our first time play this course , and we were pleasantly surprised how nice it was . The fairways were well maintained and the greens rolled as they should . The course is also very scenic, with a mountain/desert feel . This is a course we will play again .

As usual the course was in good shape. The staff was both friendly and helpful. I can't wait until I play the course again.

Great Time

Given the course was in the middle of summer, it was in great shape, great layout, and would recommend playing here. From the staff at the pro shop, to the starter, and even cart girl, they were all wonderful.

Course Not At It’s Best

Summer heat and lack of rain probably has much to do with the lesser conditions presently in play at the course. Tee boxes need some TLC; fairways are rough; greens were fair to good; sand traps full, but many of them wet. Pace of play was excellent, as no one was on the course. Unfortunately, there was no “cart girl” service and the restaurant was closed. If you find a low rate, it is still worth visiting. Note too that the driving range surface was in very poor condition.

Lone Tree Round

Course was ok but did expect a little more for the cost. Tee boxes were good, fairways decent and greens were good with consistent speed. Sand traps were inconsistent, some dry while others were very wet.
