I enjoy this course so much I now only play here. Fantastic variety on challenging holes and fantastic customer service. Matt, the Head golf pro is a great instructor and very personable. Highly recommend - but if you can't break 100 maybe too hard for you.

By far the nicest course we've played this year. Greens fast & true, fairways perfect. It's fairly tough, but toughly fair. Price was good, staff polite and courteous. Often can't play in the summer because when it gets wet, it's cart paths only and makes for a LONG day. Hope to go back soon, the tenth hole owes me, lol.

Welcoming staff. Very competitive green fees. Course in excellent condition, obviously very well maintained. Greens fast and true, but challenging. Bunkers excellent, good sand, well raked - thank-you greenkeepers and previous players. Tees good, fairways good.
6. Legacy Golf Club at Lakewood Ranch
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 93 reviews
Legacy is an Arnold Palmer Signature Designed upscale, 18-hole championship daily fee course, unique from anything found in Southwest Florida. By offering value added, great service and conditioning it appeals to traveling golfers and locals alike. The course features elevated multiple tees and virtually every hole is framed with picturesque beauty. With generous landing areas and wide corridors, the look is very dramatic and visually challenging, while still playable for all players. The 2018 renovations of Greens, Bunkers, Landscapes & Interiors has helped Legacy regain its reputation as one of the best layouts in the Southeast US. As of Jan 2020, the new Marana Forni Pizza Oven is now in operation. Such a treat to have the "Lamborghini of Pizza Ovens" making authentic Barbos Pizza just inside the Legacy Clubhouse.

We moved our annual mixed Golf Tournament to The River Club on February 26, 2020. We had 37 golfers and 44 guests for dinner.The course was great condition, fairways and greens were excellent. When we arrived our carts were lined up for our tee times, the bag drop gentlemen were courteous and our bags were put on the appropriate carts. Ben Jackson the Pro there calculated all the score cards as each group arrived at the 19th hole, and the results were in before dinner. As the groups came in they enjoyed a beverage over looking the first tee. Theresa served us drnks while golfers dined on chicken and ribs, salad, potatoes, beans and dessert. Participants came over to our table to say they were very impressed with the food. Thank you Tony for a wonderful day. Brian & Gisele

We visit this area every year and I always bring my golf clubs. This has become my favorite place to play. It is an executive course so walking 18 holes is very doable. The course is very well maintained with the best greens that I have seen in a long time. You can get out of the hustle and bustle and enjoy some fresh air and company. The staff is friendly and will pair you up with someone for some social chatter. The course is challenging enough to keep you on your toes.
