Legend Lake Golf Club
Legend Lake Golf Club in Chardon, Ohio, offers a par 72 championship golf course renowned for providing a swift, wait-free golfing experience. Opened in 1968 by designer Reece Alexander, this course was skillfully transformed from a 200-acre dairy farm into a golfing haven, complete with over 4,000 trees that today form a mature, scenic barrier around the fairways and greens.
Jim Welling, the club’s superintendent, and his team meticulously maintain the course to ensure it remains a championship-caliber venue. The course’s design incorporates Legend Lake and Legend Creek, enhancing the natural beauty and challenge of the layout. It is tailored to test skilled players while still offering enjoyment and accessibility to golfers at all levels.
With five sets of tees, the course stretches from 5,476 to 6,608 yards, accommodating various skill sets. Whether you are playing from the Black Tees with a rating of 71.7 and a slope of 129, or the more forgiving Red Tees, every golfer finds a suitable challenge.
The club doesn’t just offer exceptional play; the Legend Bar & Grill within the clubhouse provides a unique dining experience. Set in a barn-style building with a circular staircase in the silo, the pub resembles an 18th-century Irish setting, complete with original barn wood and large windows offering panoramic views of the course.
Additionally, Legend Lake is fully equipped for those looking to improve their game. The facility boasts a 250-yard driving range, a short game range with two putting greens, and a fully maintained practice hole. The pro shop is stocked with leading brands like Nike, Adidas, and Titleist, ensuring golfers are well-equipped and ready to play.
