The Legacy Golf Club - 2 4 player Tee Times

Value has really tanked the last few years. Getting "owned by a PE firm vibes" here now. Prices have increased sharlpy while value and quality have drastically dropped. God forbid you fall even 5 minutes behind pace you'll have a marshal following you every other hole telling you to pick it up. But don't forget to "fix all divots on the green and tee box, limit your time at the turn to under 5 minutes and only look for your lost ball(s) for two minutes max" too. That'll definitely help keep you on pace. They ask you to be at 2:15 for 9 holes. We finished the front 9 at 2:09 and they still said we were behind pace based on our actual tee time. Reminder - you asked me to tee off early and throw off the all-important pace of play. I also understand we've received a TON of rain the last few weeks but I expected the course to be in a lot better shape for the price paid. There were countless muddy holes and strips on multiple fareways. None had "ground under repair" signals either so they clearly were going to get worse and worse. Unless you are really good and hit everything in the fareway/a ton of GIR, I would avoid this course and spend your $77 elsewhere.

Course itself isnt bad, I'm writing this review do to a outdated BS policy. I was in town for a Hockey game and had some time to kill so I asked some Dads to play during the day, three others agreed well it was 50 out and 15mph wind that morning so two guys last second canceled, this place then charged me $156.00 for the two that didn't show, when the tee sheet was not full. I've been playing Golf my whole life and have never seen a course do that, maybe thats a thing in Iowa, but no where else... I could see if it was a nice day in the summer with full tee sheet, but come on oct25th!!!! What a joke

Always a top notch experience at Legacy. Personally a big fan of the family owned courses that treat you as such and the course never disappoints! I mean come on… any course open in February is doing something right!!!!! 5 stars in my book, must play in Iowa

First time playing this course. Very enjoyable layout and the houses are not right on top of the course. Greens were very slow and some construction on 15 was the only reason I'd give it 4 stars.

Love playing out at Legacy! Staff is great, pace of play is always on time, I appreciate they are willing to get on slower groups. Much better experience than the 4 Des Moines public courses (Waveland, Blank, Grandview, and Jester). Would highly recommend the course to all golfers of any skill level.
