Florida Golf Course Review

Legends Golf & Country Club

The Legends is one of many Clifton, Ezell & Clifton designs in the Orlando area. Located in the northwest section, this 6911 yard par 72 layout features dramatic elevation changes from tee boxes that rise up to 100 feet above the multi-tiered fairways. Panoramic views featuring glimpses of Lake Louisa are often spectacular from the "mountain tops" of this rolling terrain. Slanting fairways provide challenging lies and numerous doglegs and water hazards serve to keep golfers on their toes.

The clubhouse includes a pro shop, locker rooms with showers for men and women, plus a beautiful restaurant with full bar and outdoor patio, that also doubles to host outings and special events. Lunch items are served daily, dinner is available every day but Monday, and a wonderful Sunday Brunch is also featured. The practice facilities include a huge putting/chipping green, plus a targeted grass range that points directly towards the lake. On course markers are provided at 100, 200 and 250 yards (par fives only), and sprinkler heads are measured to the center of the green. A pin placement sheet is standard on all carts, which also feature rain covers on the backs to protect golf clubs from inclement weather. The landscaping near the tee boxes and along the cart paths make this reasonably priced golf experience appear richer, and the conditioning from tee to green during our October visit was very good.

Five sets of tee boxes are interspersed to provide all levels of players an opportunity to choose a distance that matches their capabilities. The gold's play to 6853 yards with a 132 slope, the blues measure 6511/129 slope, the whites 6069/126slope for men and 138 for women, the greens are 5385 yards/126 slope for men and 136 slope for women while the forward tees (purple) play 4692 yards with a slope of 111 for men and 119 for women.

The opening hole is a beautiful par four from an elevated tee, onto a valley fairway then up again to a raised green complex. The most beautiful stretch of holes on the front however consists of the sequence from numbers five through eight. The fifth plays from an elevated tee and doglegs left with a pond along the right that squeezes the fairway just in front of the green. Six begins from a hillside tee area with water short right, and seven doglegs left with water in play on that side from 170 yards in. The par three 8th is a beauty over water to a perched green with a lone bunker deep left.

The back side has water in play on the first two holes, the first greenside and the latter off the tee. Anything left of the green on the tight approach on eleven is in trouble. The 13th is a beautiful par three that features grassy swales and slopes in front - miss short and up and downs can be tricky. Number fourteen presents a wide, sweeping fairway which narrows on the approach with a pond situated just left of the green. This precedes the Legend's signature hole - a par three over water with the Legends insignia landscaped into the hillside. The 16th through 18th are long four pars (427, 415 and 413 from the tips) that rank as the number 2, 4 and 6 handicaps - creating a formidable challenge to finish.

Diana - our webmaster comments that the Legends is truly women friendly, and the yardage from the forward tees certainly backs this up. The terrain on this Lake County course is rolling and diverse - presenting golfers with opportunities to use every club in their bag. The legends is the sister course (and the more challenging) to the Kings ridge facility across the street.
