About this course

The Legends Golf Course in Kingsland sits along the northern shore of Lake LBJ in the Texas Hill Country, roughly an hour northwest of Austin. Designed by Tom Kite, Roy Bechtol, and Randy Russell, the course reflects Kite's transition from touring professional to course architect, a path he pursued actively in the 1990s and 2000s. Bechtol and Russell brought design and construction expertise to the collaboration, helping translate Kite's competitive insights into playable golf holes suited to the rolling terrain and lakeside setting. The routing takes advantage of the property's elevation changes and views across Lake LBJ, with several holes playing near the water and others moving through the native oak and cedar landscape typical of the region. The design emphasizes strategic options from the tee and around the greens, a hallmark of Kite's playing philosophy that rewarded precision and course management. The layout accommodates a range of skill levels while preserving challenge for accomplished players, particularly in wind that frequently sweeps across the exposed sections near the lake. The Legends operates as part of a residential community and serves both members and daily-fee play. The Hill Country setting provides a scenic backdrop, with the lake and surrounding hills visible from multiple points on the course. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that supports the golf operation and community events typical of Texas resort and residential courses in the region.

Getting there

The journey to The Legends Golf Course begins at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS), roughly an hour northwest into the Texas Hill Country. The drive traces the Colorado River's path through rolling limestone terrain, trading the capital's urban sprawl for ranch land and the shimmering expanse of Lake LBJ. As Highway 1431 winds west toward Kingsland, the landscape opens into that signature Hill Country blend of cedar breaks and wide sky, delivering you to a course carved into the rugged topography where the Highland Lakes meet the Edwards Plateau.
