Legends Golf and Country Club sits in a large gated community on Legends Boulevard in Fort Myers, Florida, with homes ranging from condos to estate houses, and you'll see scenic views from most lanais because the community sits on over 650 acres with lakes and preserves. The heart of the place is the 18-hole championship golf course, built in 1999 and designed by Joe Lee, then renovated by Kipp Schulties in 2010, measuring up to 6,652 yards with seven sets of tees, so beginner and seasoned golfers alike can play here, and with Bermuda grass greens and fairways, plus water coming into play on 14 holes, folks find the course both pretty and challenging. There's a PGA Coaching Center at PGA Frisco, golf pros around to offer help improving your game, a driving range, pitching and chipping spots, and a putting green for practice, and the club's heavily involved in PGA of America programs, so you might see PGA REACH and other inclusion efforts happening, or catch some PGA Section events, as well as different amateur programs, coaching, and events for men and women at all experience levels, plus USGA qualifying and one-day tournaments with their own schedules, rankings, results, and policies.
The clubhouse stands about half a mile past the entrance gate and hosts weddings, meetings, and parties, and you'll find several dining spots open every day-including fine dining, a sports pub, and the Sunset Grill Tiki Bar-with live entertainment sometimes open for both members and the public. Besides golf, members have tennis on seven Har-Tru courts, four bocce courts, four pickleball courts, a resort-style lagoon pool and spa, and a fitness center offering wellness activities and classes. Residents take part in social groups and events throughout the year, and there's a strong sense of community because nearly all homes include bundled memberships covering golf or social amenities, so it's easy to meet others. A well-stocked golf shop carries brands like Titleist, Ping, Callaway, Taylormade, and MacGregor for clubs, plus Ashworth, Tehama, and EP Pro apparel and gear, and you can rent clubs, arrange lessons, buy rain gear, socks, gloves, and other golf needs right at the club. Golf carts come included in fees, but there aren't any caddies, and the club asks everyone to follow the dress code with proper golf attire and stick to soft spikes-no metal allowed. Legends Golf and Country Club takes VISA and MasterCard for payments, runs a year-round season, and allows players to post scores and manage accounts easily. The community's quiet, green, and offers plenty to do, making it a steady spot if you're looking to play, relax, or join social activities any time of the year.
