Overview
Unlike its sibling Judge course, which is defended by water throughout, the Legislator is a more traditional tree-lined layout with water in play on just four holes. The front nine at this Montgomery-area track plays on a bluff over a lake, weaving in and out of dense forest. The back nine descends to play among a native cypress swamp, which provides a unique setting, especially on holes 11 through 13. More forgiving off the tee than the Judge, the Legislator is the more player-friendly option.

Review
“Layout variety was good with a mix of straight holes, doglegs left and right, and uphill and downhill holes. There were long and short par fours, but the par threes were all similar in length. Greens on the first eight holes are very large. Shot options were good from both the fairways and around the greens where often you can putt, chip or pitch your shot. It is a challenging course for the low handicap golfer from the back tees. Conditioning was mediocre with greens that did hot hold a well-struck shot but did putt true; the fairways are hard and fast, but invaded by a variety of grasses. I found the last ten holes to be much more aesthetic and fun than the first ten holes, but would definitely play it again if in the area."

“The legislator course in Prattville is part of a collection of courses that make for a great buddies trip. This course has nice Bermuda fairways and Bermuda greens that can be difficult to putt due to the size and contours. The greens are interesting on this course with many possible pin placements and slopes, bunkers and runoff areas around the greens. The facility is wonderful with one of the best practice areas that I have ever seen. A huge driving range and nice short game area are fun. The course has three distinct parts. The first nine is typical southern golf with pine trees and rolling terrain. The six hole starting the back nine are on a lower part of the course and go through swamp areas. The final three holes are the American links style with dunes along the side of the holes. This is a nice place to play and I would recommend it highly...."
