Lagoon Legend
If you go to play golf at Lagoon Legend, there has been a little name change. The course has been redesigned by Gary Nicklaus, son of legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus. This course will be renamed the Nicklaus Course at Bay Point, is on pace to reopen in the fall.
Lagoon Legend was designed to be a grueling layout that rarely allowed golfers to catch their breath. Undulating fairways, five dozen bunkers and water on nearly every hole accounted for Lagoon Legend's 152 slope rating. Making it among the most difficult courses in the United States.
The Nicklaus redesign will make the course a little more friendly for golfers of every level while maintaining the challenge that Golfers from all over the world came to experience at Lagoon Legend. Previously, in order to play on Lagoon Legend, golfers had to schedule a minimum of 10+ hours to dedicate to this challenging course. The redesign is made for golfers to have a great game but be done within about 4-6 hours, so more golfers can enjoy a great afternoon of golfing.
Some of the redesign changes include the back tees will be a different tee shot, and the front tees will be moved up so a person that can't fly the ball a certain distance will have more forgiving approaches.
Lagoon Legend's layout, originally designed by Robert Von Hagge and Bruce Devlin in 1986, covered 6,900 yards from the back tees. Currently, every hole currently is being reshaped from scratch with only the bare bones of the original course remaining.
When this course reopenes in the Fall, it will be a delight and a challenge to play!
