Legacy Hills Golf Club
The golf : Legacy Hills opened in fall 1996 and
immediately gained the respect of the Central Texas golf community.
Designed by Greg Cash and Billy Casper, the course blends in beautifully
with the natural terrain, featuring rolling hills, old oak trees,
ravines, and numerous elevation changes, both in the fairway and
on the greens.
Berry Creek runs through the layout, and is integral to the signature
par5 18th hole, where you’ll have two options off the tee.
One side offers the more conservative lay-up, while the other option
involves clearing the creek but gives you the chance to get home
in two on this 520-yard hole. Fairway bunkers loom ominously, and
the long green is extremely prone to a three-jack.
Before you get to that one, though, two par 3s stand out on each
side. No. 4 plays 171 yards into a pond and a rock-guarded three-tiered
green. No. 16 goes 216 yards into another multi-level green guarded
by water and sand on the right.
No. 9 rivals the 18th as the signature–it plays 357 yards
uphill, with a creek along the left and fairway bunkers waiting
for your tee shot. The approach involves Legacy Hill’s waterfall,
but it’s actually more scenic that it is difficult since a
good drive leaves you with a short iron in.
