Heathland
Legends
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, Heathland's design allows players of all ability levels to "step back in time." |
Parkland
Legends
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.

Moorland
Legends
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." |

Oyster Bay
Golf Links
Voted the 1983 Golf Digest "Resort Course of the Year," and ranked by the same publication among the top 50 public courses in
the country in 1990, Oyster Bay Golf Links is a rare, harmonious blend of the penal, heroic and strategic philosophies of golf course architecture. Architect Dan
Maples and developer Larry Young created a course where variety and innovation are the name of the game.
Consider severe marsh-oriented holes, two island green par threes, strategic (and stunningly beautiful) fresh water lakes, long
holes, short holes…the consummate combination of shot making requirements.
The par-70 course plays to just under 6,700 yards, but cavernous bunkers, wickedly undulating greens and lengthy par 4's make Oyster Bay a
test of one's mettle.

Heritage
Club
Heritage Plantation is a tribute to the rice culture that revered the land centuries ago. Over 600 acres of giant magnolias, 300-year-old oaks, fresh water lakes and marshes have been
transformed into a golfing community to rival the finest in the world.
Built on the site of the True Blue and Midway Plantations, Heritage reflects a history of gracious, tasteful living. A magnificent
avenue of oaks leads to the Southern Colonial clubhouse overlooking the Waccamaw River.
Ranked among the "50 Best Public Courses in America" by Golf Digest, the Heritage Club, a par 71, serves as the focal point for Heritage Plantation. Heritage features spacious, rolling
fairways and large, undulating greens, surrounded by lush stands of crepe myrtle, camellias and azaleas. Heavily landscaped areas of wildflowers and flowering shrubs will maintain the
beauty of this historical setting for generations to come.
