Course Description
Ten years ago we realized individuals do not join Clubs - families do.The Legend is the only Club of it's kind in the Midwest. This 54-hole, multi-facility Club offers more programming and course accessibility than any other Club. With locations in Waukesha, Hartland, and Wales, The Legend offers three very distinct Clubhouses and Courses each with it's own personality.The ability for members to play three courses, swim at three pool complexes, dine in five different dining rooms, enjoy extended programming and greater access to spontaneous tee times is unheard of. Members have far fewer occasions in which a Member Event or Member Program affects their access to a casual round of golf.No other Club in Waukesha County can compete with The Legend in terms of refundable memberships, the quality and quantity of amenities and member programming at the best dues value in Wisconsin - all, of course, without member assessment.
