About this course

This isn't about chasing accolades; it's about a solid, enjoyable round for players of all levels.

Beyond the course, Legacy enjoys a strong connection with its community.

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.
