Legacy, The (Las Vegas)
The Legacy Golf Club: Designed by acclaimed golf course architect Arthur Hills, The Legacy is an 18-hole desert-style course, characterised by multi-tiered fairways and large undulating greens.
Stretching 7,233 yards from the back tees, this memorable layout is a strong challenge for the scratch player, yet also accommodates higher handicappers, with well-spaced tee boxes and generous fairway landing areas.
Most of the holes are accompanied by residential housing on either side; a band of desert rough usually skirting the good-width fairways and keeping the properties out of harm's way. The anti-clockwise front-nine loop is played to the east of the clubhouse, the signature par-3 10th starts the clockwise back-nine loop, which is played on the other side of Green Valley Parkway.
The Legacy is perhaps unique in having a signature hole defined by its tee-boxes, each one the shape of a playing card suit. The ladies tee is a Heart; farthest back is the Spade; a Club of course for the men's club tee and, for those wanting the best chance to ace the hole, the men's front tee is a Diamond.
Also renowned on this layout is a devilishly difficult trio of consecutive par-4's. Known as the "Devil's Triangle", it comprises the good-length 11th; the sharply dog-legging 12th, and the "unlucky for some" short 13th, dangerously flanked by a rock-filled desert wash area on its left side.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance (120 days ahead is permitted).
Non-metal spike facility. Golf carts compulsory.

French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
