About this course

Legacy at Legacy Golf Links, nestled in Smyrna, Georgia, is where accessible golf meets a challenge steeped in local flavor. This isn't about chasing accolades; it's about a solid, enjoyable round for players of all levels. Designed in the modern era, the course navigates rolling terrain with a layout that favors strategic play over brute force. Expect a mix of doglegs and deceptively placed bunkers that reward thoughtful approaches and creative shot-making. While Legacy hasn’t hosted any major championships, it remains a popular destination for local tournaments and casual play, serving as a regular battleground for Cobb County golfers. Beyond the course, Legacy enjoys a strong connection with its community. The club provides a welcoming atmosphere where the focus is on friendly competition and camaraderie, rather than hushed tones and exclusive membership. After a round, the Legacy Grill serves up classic clubhouse fare, with their fried chicken sandwich being a local favorite that rivals the golf itself.

Getting there

Legacy Golf Links lies just northwest of Atlanta, a short twenty-minute drive from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport via I-285 and the Cobb Parkway corridor. The route traces the city's northern perimeter through suburban Smyrna, where office parks and shopping centers gradually yield to the course's surprisingly secluded setting along the banks of the Chattahoochee River. For a municipal facility tucked within the metropolitan sprawl, the arrival feels unexpectedly removed - a quiet pocket of links-style terrain that seems to have been carved from a different landscape entirely.
