[ G olf ] egacy Golf Club is a par 72, Arthur Hills
design located in the heart of Green Valley,
L a master-planned community located in
W H A T ’S NE W Henderson, a suburb of Las Vegas. Opened in

1989, Legacy has always been one of the most
popular courses in the area and has hosted
American Junior Golf Association tournaments
(including a year when Tiger Woods played)
and U.S. Open qualifying tournaments.
The Legacy, a links-style course that winds
through several upscale neighborhoods, features
unique holes and configurations including the
“suits” hole. The par 3, 193-yard, 10th hole
features each tee box design as a suit in a deck
of cards and is a popular spot for visiting and
local players.
The Devil’s Triangle is not only memorable but
also challenging. It begins with the long par 4,
444-yard, 11th hole and culminates with the
potentially drivable able par 4, 324-yard, 13th
hole that is played to a small green guarded by
an arroyo to the left and bunkers in front and
right. A birdie or triple bogey are both in play on
this dastardly and tantalizing hole. Sandwiched
between 11 and 13 is the par 4, 381-yard, 12th,
a dogleg left that offers big hitters a chance to
cut the corner and shorten the hole.
Onsite is a large driving range and practice area
featuring a large putting green and practice
bunker. Events, weddings and tournaments are
always welcome at Legacy.

renovation process was Elite Golf management
