The Course
About The Legacy Golf Club
The Legacy is a Henderson desert course about 15 to 20 minutes from the Strip. The 7,168-yard par-72 layout (74.4 rating / 143 slope) is known for manicured conditioning, multi-tiered fairways, and large undulating greens - and for two signature touches: the par-3 10th, whose tee boxes are shaped like a heart, spade, club, and diamond, and the back-nine 'Devil's Triangle' (holes 11-13), where a long par-4 gives way to two short, dangerous par-4s with elevated, unforgiving greens.
History
The Legacy Golf Club — History
The Legacy Golf Club opened in 1989 in Henderson, designed by Arthur Hills, with revisions by John Fought and Todd Schoeder in 1996. It has hosted U.S. Open local qualifying and AJGA junior events over the years.
Design
The Legacy Golf Club — Design
Arthur Hills built a demanding desert test -- multi-tiered fairways and big contoured greens -- with the card-suit 10th and the Devil's Triangle adding a distinctly Las Vegas sense of theater.

The Round
The Journey at The Legacy Golf Club
I.
The Opening
The Legacy starts with a 406-yard par 4 and the 184-yard 2nd before the hardest hole on the card arrives early: the 465-yard par-4 3rd. The 453-yard 4th keeps the length coming, the 594-yard 5th is the longest hole on the course, and the 162-yard 6th, rated 17th, is the easier of the two front-nine par 3s.
II.
The Middle
The 425-yard 7th and the 453-yard 8th, rated fifth- and third-hardest, make a demanding pair before the 533-yard 9th closes a 3,675-yard front nine. The back nine opens with a par 3, the 192-yard 10th, whose tee boxes are shaped like the four card suits: hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades. The 437-yard 11th and the 384-yard 12th follow.
III.
The Finish
The 13th is only 323 yards but is rated the sixth-hardest hole. The 589-yard 14th, the No. 2 handicap, is followed by the 232-yard 15th, the longest par 3. The 460-yard 16th, rated fourth, is the last of the long par 4s; the 495-yard par-5 17th and the 381-yard 18th make for a softer finish.
How to Play It
The Legacy Golf Club — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
The 7,168-yard Black tees carry a 143 slope, and GolfPass lists tees down to 5,344 yards (Yellow) plus a 4,275-yard Family tee. The club describes generous landing areas and well-spaced tee boxes, so length is the bigger risk: plan the 594-yard 5th and the 589-yard 14th as three shots and pick a lay-up distance you like.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
Three of the five hardest holes, the 3rd, 7th and 8th, are front-nine par 4s of 425 yards or more, so a steady front nine sets up the round. The club highlights multi-tiered fairways and large undulating greens; on approaches, favor a level lie over extra distance, and aim for the part of the green that leaves an uphill putt.
Advanced / Low Handicap
The 323-yard 13th is the hole to plan for: short, yet rated sixth-hardest. The 192-yard 10th is rated the easiest hole on the card, and the 495-yard 17th is the shortest par 5 by 38 yards, the best birdie chance on the closing stretch. Save a long iron for the 232-yard 15th, the longest par 3.
