About Seminole Legacy:
Seminole Legacy is the home of Florida State University’s men’s and women’s golf teams; both consistently ranked among the top 10 programs nationally. The course was recently recognized as a top 20 golf course in the state of Florida. In 2019, Seminole Legacy underwent a complete renovation by Nicklaus Design, including the re-grassing of all playing surfaces. Improvements featured new Tif-eagle greens, Tiftuf fairways and roughs, and 65 acres of Pensacola Bahia maintained as native areas year-round. During the summer of 2025, the club completed additional course enhancements, including the relocation and addition of tee boxes, new and repositioned fairway bunkers, reshaping of green tie-ins, and construction of two new greens for the men’s and women’s short-course facility.
