LPGA International Legends Course is a very reasonably priced track that presents an excellent opportunity to really think about your game. It requires shot planning and encourages "smart play". I suggest that one play with gusto against the challenging layout. Do not worry about your score. Just play one shot at a time and learn from the course. Your best drive might put you in a fairway hazard. Suck it up and learn. You will get to hit from every imaginable lie. Plan to lose some balls. Just drop and try again. You will learn a lot about your game on this course and play your home course much better from the experience. This is a great training track. I met with some freinds to play just for the love of the game. there is a long carry off the tee over marsh on many holes. Just move up and play from the gold. I even shot from the reds if I could not carry. It is a great training field. Just learn from it. We made the round in 4.5 hours. Water was available and the guest services cart visited us in a very timely way. The practice range was very fine. It was my first round in FL this year so, a great place to correct to turf as compared to my PA tracks. I "Bogied" the 18th and would have played another nine but for that we all had evening plans. Many have told me that I did learn on the course because a "bogie" on 18 is really good golf.
Lunch was OK, but I really do not pick a golf course based on that. I played on Monday May 5 and then went up to TPC. It was an excellent week.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
Condition of Course, Price, Ambiance, No Houses on Course, Pace of Play, Clubhouse
