The Founders Course has several water hazards coming into play on many holes, including every par 5. The fairways are generous, however there are several bunkers that can alter you shots. The greens are large and extremely fast. The signature hole is #14, a 197-yard, par 3, requiring a tee shot from off an elevated tee and past a lake on the right. If the flag is on the right side of the green, a shot to the back left with end up at the pin due to the slope of the green. The 7151 yard par 72 Legacy course opened for play in 2000. Designed by Rees Jones, this course boasts long, undulating, tree-lined fairways that lead to large, fast greens.
The Head Golf Professional at The Legacy Course is Michael Knights and the Superintendant is Neil Thompson. The club hosted the Senior PGA Tour's Bruno's Memorial Classic in 1994. "Golf Digest" rated this as the 10th "Best in State" course for 1995-96, and the 7th best for 1997-98. This club provides a beautiful clubhouse, tennis courts and a lovely dining room. Another eighteen hole course is scheduled to open in 2000.
