A Fun Place to Throw
Pros: Creature comforts!
High-quality benches at every hole. Informative signs with alternate pin positions, accurate disances, and pars. Bag hangers. Bridges over the streams. Next tee visible from every pin but one, IIRC. Double-loop configuration (pick up / drop off @ your car after the front nine).
Good variation in shots required. Lots of long bomb opportunities until you hit #11, lots of technical finesse required from #12 through #16. Moderate up- and downhills, nothing that would require steps to be cut. No crossing faiways or fairways crossing paths / roads.
All in all, a very comfortable place to play - leave your worries at home, go out and throw a round or two, relax and have a good time. That's what this course is all about.

Cons: Given the gently rolling terrain, the designers did a good job here. The only thing that's missing is the drama factor that comes with radical elevation changes, wide water obstacles, and other environmental risk / reward elements. This is a great place for a fun round and high enough quality to merit a stop of you're passing through town, but in no way could it be termed a destination course. That (probably) wasn't the intention so for what it is - a fun place to play - Legacy solildly meets expctations.
Other Thoughts: This is a really good course for rec players, and I have a feeling that its character changes dramatically when the trees are in leaf. Looking forward to playing it again, and again, and again.

Other Thoughts: looks to me like they took the worst piece of land in the whole Legacy park, that they couldn't do anything else with and dropped a disc golf course in it. Plays like Wilbur Young if Wilbur Young was a Par 4 heavy course

two courses in one
Pros: Large concrete tees and great baskets. 10/10
The obstacles are used very well at this course, and some are pretty unique. There are some hedges used on the third and fourth holes with small openings to throw through. The eighth hole has a pretty large tree with the hole tucked immediately behind it. 10/10
Great variety of openness on shots. In general, the front nine is fairly open while the back is more wooded, but the front still has some holes and shots with more obstacles (approach on 2 and 8, drive on 5, hedge shots on 3 and 4) and the back nine has some more open shots (10 and 11, approach on 15, drive on 16 and 18). Great mix 10/10
There's a nice variety of distances on holes. It seems like they always have one of the nines in the long spots and one in the short spots because in the two times I've played, once mostly every hole on the front nine was in the back position and the back nine was mostly in the front position, and the other time was the opposite. That's why I called the review "two courses in one", because it's like a different course depending on which nine is in the long spot. No matter which way it is, there is lots of variety in distance with some birdieable holes and some that are tough to par. 8/10
Navigation between holes is pretty easy and intuitive. There's one spot after the fifth hole where two tees are visible, but if you just follow the mowing path you'll be fine. 8/10
Water fountains and restrooms present, no benches on the tees, but there's a shelter with benches where the water is that's good for a rest that three holes come back to (9, 11, and 15). Comfort during round: 7/10
There's not a ton of elevation present, but it's used pretty well and there's a nice variety of slopes throughout the course. Most of the hills are rolling so there isn't much severe elevation except for 10, 12 and 14, but the variety helps give every hole a different feel. 7/10
Course maintenance is pretty good, both times I was there it was mostly mowed down except for a few spots way out of the fairway that were pretty out of play. I've seen pictures where there is knee high grass everywhere, but no recent ones so I don't know if I just got lucky or if they've picked it up. There is some rough that is taller than the fairway but it's not bad at all. 7/10
Navigation on the holes themselves is pretty good. There are tee signs on every hole with a map giving distance to both hole positions. A few holes (4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) can't be seen from the tee, so it makes it a little tricky because you can't tell which spot it's in from the tee. 7/10
The course does a good job of forcing the player to make decisions on the front nine. The first three holes all of multiple throwing lanes to go through, and the hedge shots are good for this too. 6/10
Discs aren't too hard to find, hedge shots and other blind shots can be a little tough because you can't actually see the discs land, but at least when it's mowed like when I was there it's not too bad. 6/10

Discs aren't too hard to find, hedge shots and other blind shots can be a little tough because you can't actually see the discs land, but at least when it's mowed like when I was there it's not too bad. 6/10
Cons: No hole has more than one alternate hole position, most do have one at least. On the front nine, the different hole positions don't really change the feel of the holes at all, it just makes them one shot longer and increases the par by one. 3/10
This course is probably too difficult for beginners, but too easy for advanced players. It's great for recreational and intermediate players but overall doesn't do a good job challenging all levels. Multiple tees on at least some holes could really help with this. 3/10
The course doesn't have very many holes which require a certain shape on some shots. The hedge shots do a great job with this, and so do some of the more wooded holes 5/10
I'm not a fan of the blind shots just because you can't always see where your disc is going or see it if you make the incredible hole out.

Other Thoughts: Overall difficulty: 7/10
I like the mix of par 3's and par 4's, sort of reminded me of Wyandotte County Park. I still wish more courses would do this.
I really like the use of hedges with a few openings to throw through, I'd never seen anything like that before.

Well balanced.
Pros: I love that the course is well balanced in regards to blind shots, long holes, short wooded holes. The variety gives you a great chance to practice all of the elements that make up disc golf. They make it pretty simple to decide what you want to focus on as the majority of the front 9 plays open and long and the majority of the back 9 is wooded and short.
Cons: The rough is ROUGH. If the parks department didn't treat this like a ball course it would be a lot better. There is no need for narrow fairways lined with knee high grass. They only mow the rough 3-4 times a year. After its mowed it's a completely different course and is a 5/5, the short rough allows you to play different, riskier shots without fear of losing your disc.

Pros: Yellow baskets and good maps at each tee make finding the pin easy. Front nine has a ton of fun wide open holes for power throwers and the back nine gets more wooded but still not too technical. Benches ate every tee. Mowed very well most of the time.
Cons: Can get windy and really effect you and the wide open shots.

Excellent course for all experience levels
Pros: - Excellent navigation
- Clean, accurate signs
- Concrete tees
- Great variety of shots and distances from the tee
- Well-kept park with clean restrooms
- Clean, accurate signs
- Concrete tees
- Great variety of shots and distances from the tee
- Well-kept park with clean restrooms
Cons: - May not be challenging enough for advanced players, as holes tend to be short-to-medium range, with one or two exceptions (and varying by pin placement).
Other Thoughts: Legacy Park is one of my favorite courses. I consider myself an intermediate player, and can consistently shoot in the 60-ish range. Most holes are forgiving if you have a poor initial drive. Lots of wide open shots. Only a couple "blind" shots where you can't see the basket from the tee. A few are over 400 feet, a few are closer to 200. Most are somewhere in between those numbers. There is some tall grass in spots, and a few fenced-in buildings owned by Lees Summit Parks & Rec where you could easily throw your disc away, but even a mediocre drive will keep you safe there. Wind tends to be a factor here, as most of the course, especially the front 9, is wide open. The word seems to be out about this course, so plan on meeting many friendly faces when you go.
This is one of my go-to courses when I have some time off and am looking to have a good time flinging discs. I think you'll love it as well.

Legacy
Pros: First 11 holes are very wide open followed by 8 holes that are shorter but more technical. Good mixture of holes. Good use of elevation change. Easy to navigate with good signs that describe the hole and easy to find the next hole. Good mixture of very long to very short holes.
Cons: A few blind Tee's so always check fairway. Grass is thick.
Other Thoughts: There was no "wow" factor and while the course was nice to play it was not the most attractive course in the area. Pro's would tear this course apart but for AM's this course is challenging and fun.
Not Bad

Pros: Variety, on the front nine you have distance and some shot shaping holes. When set up long the front nine can wear you down in a good way. A couple par 4 (3 long, 4 long, 8 long) is always nice to have in a park. On the back nine you can start with distance on 10 but then nice short park and putt holes with great fairways. Parks and rec does a great job with trashcans benches and overall clean park. You can choose to play 9 at a time both loops end up in parking lot.
Cons: On the front nine a couple of holes a little bland. Not all tee signs are completely accurate in distance. Watch out on front 9 as tall grass + blind shots = looking for discs
Other Thoughts: Watch out for thorny trees lots in this area. In the summer keep an eye on your disc long grass will eat them up. I like mowed fairways looks cool and saves money. As takers of parks and rec we should never complain about mowing as we pay no greens fees. But at legacy it is almost always windy so i choose blue springs or p-hill. Cool side note i play a final 9 safari so if you want challenge start on 10. 10-12 par 4, 13-14 par 4, 15alt to 15 par 3 or 4, 16-17 par 3, 18 to practice basket par 4, 1-2 par 4, 2-3 par 4 or 5, 4-7 par 3 or 4, 8-9 par 5, Typically get a par 36 on 9 holes based on pin positions

Great Beginner Course
Pros: A great course for beginners and has some challenges for intermediate players. Most of the first 9 holes are out in the open with a few trees. Holes 4 has a wicked hill to through up with a wall of bushes separating you from the basket. The Hole 10 is a great 500 footer. Holes 11 - 18 are wooded and provide some good challenges at the end of the game.
Cons: Thorny Locust Trees everywhere!! What were they thinking. They are all young saplings that were just planted. Wear some thick shoes (I wear hiking boots when I play there) otherwise you might get a nice thorn in you foot.
Other Thoughts: The restrooms are a nice touch. Also since there is no water (lakes) it is a really good beginner course. You don't have to worry about losing a disc. (Except on hole 3 where the road is close. You might nail a car, but you'll get the disc back)
