Legends Golf Club in Clermont Florida

[Hoganman1]

This course closed a couple of years ago, but I've heard it might re-open. We have a vacation home in Clermont and I've played Legends many times. We haven't been to Florida in a year due to COVID-19. I'm really hoping to go in the Spring and would love to play Legends if it has in fact re-opened. Does anyone on this forum know the status?

Here is a link I found below. From what I can tell the course is being renovated and reopening spring 2021.

Thanks so much. We're planning on coming in March. Hopefully, it will be open by then. I really like the course and I've come so close to breaking 80 there several times over the years. I've shot in the seventies on almost every other course in the Clermont area except Sugarloaf Mountain which closed several years ago. In full disclosure, my 77 at Mission Inn El Campeon was when I was in my 40s. I doubt I could do that today even from the senior tees.

Speaking of Legends in Clermont, do any of you remember Palisades? It closed in late 2015. While it wasn't always in good shape the layout was great. Also, it was right across Lake Minneola from my vacation condo. I think it opened in the mid 90s. It was supposed to be an exclusive private club. The recession changed all that and I think it struggled for most of it's twenty year  existence. Anyway, I played it two or three times a year and still miss it. I really wish someone would buy and restore it, but I doubt that's going to happen. The same applies to Sugarloaf Mountain. However, SM only lasted for five or six years and was in the middle of nowhere. 

Still I'm glad Legends is coming back and really hope they'll be successful.
