Tom Fazio, the decades most decorated golf course architect, himself calls The Legacy Club among his very best efforts. The landing areas are wide and the challenges posted are fair. Fazio threaded holes through a thick, old-growth forest of towering pines, palms, cypress trees, and moss draped oaks. The sites 158 acres of wetlands were restored, to flank several of the holes.

Each individual hole is a masterpiece at The Legacy Club. The par 3 6th is a reverse image of Augusta National's 16th. The par 5 11th, the tightest on the course, has a conservation area up the right side. Eighteen is a par 4, that leads players out of the woods to a tee, a lake, and a stand of trees it shares with the 9th. A natural Florida sinkhole sits 60 yards shy of the green.
