Description:
Legends Golf and Resort offers five of the best golf courses available in the Myrtle Beach area and the state of South Carolina. Centrally located just off Highway 501 in Myrtle Beach, Heathland, Moorland and Parkland courses are nestled within the Scottish-inspired Legends Golf & Resort. Legends' Oyster Bay course is on the northern end of Myrtle Beach's Grand Strand in Sunset Beach, NC, while Heritage is on the southern end in Pawleys Island, SC.
All five courses were developed by Myrtle Beach entrepreneur Larry Young, who continues to own the Ailsa Pub at Legends Resort, as well as manage the on-site villa complex.
Considered one of the greatest challenges on the East Coast - a par 72 triumph - Moorland was designed by noted golf architect P. B. Dye and opened for play in 1990. Large expanses of natural growth, sand, water and waste areas combine with extraordinary undulations and bulkheads to present a course reminiscent of the PGA West Stadium Course.
This controversial course is definitely a "target" golf course. Created in the Dye tradition, Moorland will cause golfers to rise to incredible heights on the sculpted terrain, sink to considerable depths in the bunkers, and constantly use every ounce of skill and luck in their possession. Moorland indeed earned its designation as one of the "Top 10 New Courses of 1990," by Golf Digest. Play the 245 yard par-4 16th and see for yourself why the large bunker guarding the green is so appropriately named "Hell's Half Acre."
