Legends Golf Resort – Myrtle Beach

There is only one place in Myrtle Beach where you can experience a little Scottish flair on the course and in the kitchen. Need to work on your putting stroke or full swing after night has fallen? They’ve got that covered too. Throw in the only course in Myrtle Beach to receive a 5-Star rating by Golf Digest and you’ve got all the ingredients to create a great golf vacation. And we didn’t even mention the all-star accommodations.

Legends Golf Resort is situated on 1,300 acres of land, offers six different golf courses for resort guests to choose from, including three on-site layouts (Heathland, Moorland and Parkland) plus the 5-Star TPC of Myrtle Beach, and offers amenities and accommodations like a 42,000-sq.- ft. clubhouse with pro shop, lodging for approximately 1,050 guests, the award-winning Aisla Pub and an expansive lighted practice facility.

The family of golf courses is continually being updated and improved. All courses have recently received upgrades such as bunker renovation and drainage improvement and an increase in native plants, flowers and grasses around the resort and courses. TPC of Myrtle Beach, Heathland and Heritage were all outfitted with new greens in the summer of 2007.

The overall quality of customer service has also been upgraded to enhance the experience for guests at all of the properties. All of Legend’s golf courses have at least a 4 ½ -Star Golf Digest Places to Play rating.

Tom Doak’s Heathland course provides guests with a taste of the old world. Heathland is reminiscent of a Scottish Links course with windswept hills and deep-faced bunkers. The Heathland takes you back in time to when golf courses were created with an artistic touch.

P.B. Dye’s Moorland Course is reminiscent of PGA West’s Stadium Course. Created in the Dye tradition, Moorland will cause golfers to rise to incredible heights on sculpted terrain and sink to considerable depths in the bunkers. Golf Digest recently published their Top 50 Toughest Courses in America and the Moorland course at Legends Resort was No. 37 on the list.

Larry Young’s Parkland course is modeled after the style of such legendary architects as Alister MacKenzie (Augusta National) and George Thomas (Riviera Country Club). The course was designed to complement nature so closely as to make the layout indistinguishable from nature itself.

Legends Resort also offers guests three off-site gems. Pawley’s Island’s Heritage Club is Lowcountry golf at its best. The course, which opened in 1986, was built on two historic rice plantations and along the scenic Waccamaw River. Golf Digest recently ranked the Heritage Club No. 46 on its list of “America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses.”

TPC of Myrtle Beach is a true challenge. The course was designed by Tom Fazio and has hosted the Senior Tour Championship. Dan Maples’ Oyster Bay, which is located in Sunset Beach, NC, has been a favorite of Myrtle Beach golfers for over 20 years. Its stunning beauty and scenery makes it one of the must play courses in the Carolinas.

Legends Resort, which is now a smokefree facility, is a total golf experience. Guests can relax in the splendor of the luxury golf villas, situated along the Parkland course, enjoy first-class amenities and one of the finest lighted practice facilities in the Southeast. Come see why Legends is the number one golf resort on the Grand Strand.
