Shot an 86 at Legend Trail on saturday. Slope is 127.
I had 15 putts on the front nine and 22 on the back, the greens on the back were in pretty terrible shape and I was putting over rough ground, and in one case sand/gravel.
I played that course from time to time when it was managed by Troon Golf. Early last year I got a comp there because my stepfather was in town and he is friends with the guy who runs the John Jacobs Academy (which won the bid for and now manages the property). The only other course they manage that I know of is Painted Desert in Mesa, which is a total goat pasture.
It's a shame to hear it's not in good shape. Troon Golf is known for keeping their courses tip-top even in the most extreme weather but apparently these new guys do not. That's a really nice layout too, great back nine and I like the back-to-back par 5s down the stretch.
How much did you pay?
