The Round
The Journey at Legacy Hills Golf Club
I.
The Opening
A 355-yard par 4 gets Legacy Hills under way, and the 404-yard 2nd, the No. 5 handicap, is the longest par 4 on the course. Two short par 5s follow in three holes: the 467-yard 3rd, rated the No. 17 handicap, and the 492-yard 5th, with a 325-yard par 4 between them. The 141-yard 6th, the shortest hole on the course, completes an opening six of 2,184 yards.
II.
The Middle
The 381-yard 7th is the No. 1 handicap, and the 526-yard 8th, the No. 3, makes three par 5s on the front. The 241-yard 9th, the longest par 3, closes a par-37 front nine of 3,332 yards. The back starts with a 376-yard par 4, then the 320-yard 11th, the shortest par 4, and the 200-yard par-3 12th.
III.
The Finish
Holes 13 through 15 are the toughest run on the back: the 380-yard 13th and 395-yard 14th are the No. 6 and No. 4 handicaps, and the 215-yard 15th is the No. 2, unusual for a par 3. The 389-yard 16th and 373-yard 17th rate as the easiest holes, and the round ends on the longest, a 557-yard par 5 that is the back nine's only one.
How to Play It
Legacy Hills Golf Club — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
With a 121 slope from the Blue tees, Legacy Hills is a reasonable first round. The front's par 5s at 3 and 5, at 467 and 492 yards, can be played as relaxed three-shot holes. Take extra club on the 241-yard 9th and the 215-yard 15th, the two longest par 3s, and since there is no range, loosen up before you arrive.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
The par-37 front nine is where to score: two of its three par 5s are under 500 yards and its par 4s run 325 to 404 yards. Expect to give a shot back at the 381-yard 7th, the No. 1 handicap, and on the long par 3s at 9 and 15. The back is a par 35 with only the 557-yard 18th as a par 5.
Advanced / Low Handicap
Low rounds at Legacy Hills, rated 71.5, come from the short par 5s, the 467-yard 3rd and 492-yard 5th, and from the 320-yard 11th. The 215-yard 15th is the No. 2 handicap and the hole most likely to cost a stroke late; the 557-yard 18th is the last birdie chance.
