EVENT OVERVIEW
 

The Legacy Challenge 

 

Once again, The Golf Channel Amateur Tour Visits The Legacy Golf Resort World-Class Championship Golf Course Designed by renowned architect Gary Panks, the 6,908-yard, par 71 Legacy Golf Course was the site of the 2000 LPGA Standard Register PING tournament. The native vegetation and horticulture introduced by the Heard family was carefully incorporated into the course and design layout of this extraordinary Phoenix golf resort. 

 

Also named one of the "Top 10 Golf Courses To Play in Phoenix" by Golf Digest, the Legacy Golf Resort was the former setting of Dwight B. Heard's 7,500-acre ranch from the early 1900's. The golf resort is rich in heritage and history, the legacy has taken great pride in preserving the remaining structures and monuments along its 18-hole championship golf course - giving golfers an added opportunity to experience a taste of Arizona history and the Heard legacy. 

 

Course Features 

The Legacy Golf course's lush green fairways, forgiving rough, well-placed hazards and manicured greens offer a challenge for golfers of all skill levels. Indigenous grasses, flowers, shrubs and trees surround the rolling terrain. Its elevation provides exceptional views of Camelback Mountain, Squaw Peak and the downtown Phoenix skyline. 
Signature Hole is #18. The original Heard Ranch grain silos to the right were once the tallest structures in Maricopa county, but do not let them take your attention away from this five hundred fifty yard par five. Avoid the fairway bunkers and going for the green in two. The elevated green is well bunkered and surrounded by severe banks. Your approach shot will demand accuracy to birdie this featured hole 

Tee Times will start at 7:40 am with pairings in foursomes. If you have spectators or caddies, expect them to walk. Play will be from the Copper, Black and White Tee’s in accordance with the Legacy scorecard yardages for those tees 

We have a maximum field of 104 players playing in foursomes, so it will be first come first served.
