The Legends Golf Resort

The Legends Golf Resort is a 54 hole complex located on highway 501 between Myrtle Beach and Conway.  The Heathland course was designed with holes reminiscent of familiar British Isles courses the likes of St. Andrews and lesser known gems like Lahinch.  The Moorland course, considered one the strongest challenges along the east coast is reminiscent of a stadium course.  With deep bunkers, multilevel fairways and greens it is unique to the area.  The Parkland course was designed to compliment the natural surrondings.  Each of the 18 holes could be considered the signature hole of this course. 

Legends-Heathland
The par 71 Heathland Course, designed by Tom Doak, is a return to the grand, "Old Country" traditions of the game. It has been distinctly molded in the image of the British Isles links courses, with holes reminiscent of familiar links like St. Andrews, and lesser known gems like Lahinch and Cruden Bay.  Most of the holes are without high vegetation, providing a visual presentation like no other course in the area. The challenge and difficulty of this course comes primarily from the unobstructed breeze that wafts constantly over the course, and the strategically placed bunkers and lush, deep rough that closely border et fairways.  Many of the greenside bunkers are deep and require creative shot making to escape.  Rated one of the "Top 10 New Resort Courses in the World" by GOLF Magazine in 1990.

Legends-Moorland
Considered one of the strongest 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 bulkheaded areas 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."

Legends-Parkland
With the opening of Parkland, The Legends trilogy is now complete. Taking its place alongside the award-winning Heathland and Moorland courses, Parkland is quickly establishing itself as the most exciting new course in Myrtle Beach. Offering distinct contrasts to the first two Legends courses, Parkland demonstrates the diversity and beauty of the natural terrain with contoured, tree-lined fairways, vast natural areas, deep-faced bunkers and massive, multi-level greens.  Opened for play in October 1992, Parkland is modeled after the style of architects Alister MacKenzie, (Augusta National) and George Thomas (Riviera Country Club). Playing the unforgettably challenging fairway and green-side bunkering requires a deft touch off the tee and on the approach. From tee to green, strategy will be the order of the day on this stunning, par-72 playing field.   The Greens on the Parkland are tifeagle bermuda grass.  The greens on the Moorland are a mixture of bemuda grass.  The greens on the Heathland are a mixture of bent grass.              Designers -  Tom Doak, P.
