Greens Covering Policy
We have some chilly weather in the forecast for the next few days. We will be covering the greens tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 12. We plan to remove the covers on Wednesday, Feb. 17. Plans are subject to change and will remain dependent on forecast. Please click here to review our Greens Covering Policy.
Winter Fairway
As you all have noticed by this point, we have implemented a new winter fairway program this year. It consists of a green pigment to help keep the green grass look, along with iron, which helps keep the turf a darker shade. The program also contains a micronutrient package to replace any stored nutrients lost during winter. This has multiple benefits in differentiating the fairways from the rough through our dormant season as well as promoting earlier Spring green up. The darker colors help draw heat in and in turn, the Bermuda comes out of dormancy much quicker. We started the monthly applications in October, and they will continue through April.
MGA Spring Member-Member
Registration is now open for the first major MGA event of the year! Registration is done through the ticketing system, but you need to make sure you have paid your 2021 MGA dues first.
Please click here for details regarding this tremendously popular event!
Interested in joining a Walking League ?
We would like to begin a walking golf league in March once Daylight Savings begins. The goal is to have a weekly league that begins at 3 p.m. or 4 p.m. in a single tee format. To begin, this will just be a friendly league without competition.
Please send an email to Erik Beyer at [email protected] if you are interested or have any questions.
Accessing GHIN
The GHIN System now requires a unique email address for each golfer to be able to login to the GHIN.com handicap system. Most golfers currently in the system have an email included in their profile but if you don't, you'll need to contact Erik Beyer at Legacy Hills,[email protected] or call 512-948-7563. The new requirements also involve golfers creating a password to login. The steps to accomplish this are as follows:
Type in your GHIN number or email address, leave the password blank
Click on the "Forgot Password" link at the bottom of the page
Follow the instructions to obtain a link that will be emailed to you so that you can set up a password.
Starter Huts now being added to all three courses
As many of you have seen, the new Starter Huts are currently being built at all three courses. We will be receiving the front service windows mid-month due to delays in delivery. Once installed, check-in for play will be performed at the front window of the Huts. There will be a Starter Hut at #1 and #10 at Legacy Hills and White Wing, and Cowan Creek will have one located at the turn. Please stay tuned and we’ll let you know when the windows are open. Thank you!
" Get Your Ansel Adams On! "

Please send a photo you shot on one of the three golf courses along with a short description. When sending your picture please send in the highest resolution possible and please provide a title you would like used if selected.We will select one photo per week to post in the Golf Communicator with the photographer’s name and the photo description.
