Myrtle Beach Golf Course Review
Legends- Heathland Course

Legends- Heathland Course As part of the magnificent six course banquet offered to you by Legends, prepare yourself for a golfing experience like no other. In an area where golf courses pop up every square mile, it is important to offer what no other courses do in order to stand out. Modeled in the image of the British Isles links courses, Heathland is a return to the grand "Old Country" traditions of the golfing game. Most of the holes here are without trees or other vegetation giving you a scene you've never experienced on a golf course. Don't let the scenery fool you, however, because the difficulty here is based on the breeze that constantly flows across the open area. Treat yourself to a truly Scottish golf experience ranked by GOLF magazine as one of the "Top 10 New Resort Courses in the World."

The term "Heathlands" refers to the rolling inland courses in the British Isles. The pure natural contours of the land here gives golfers a fluid direction without any manmade distractions. Strategically placed bunkers and a deep rough closely border the fairways also add to the difficulty. Most of the greenside bunkers are deep and require imaginative shot-making to escape. Tom Doak's design allows for players of all skill levels to enjoy a challenging round of golf.

Difficulty is poured onto your plate with just the first hole. The wind here adds to the difficulty of carrying a tee shot to a plateaued fairway. You will want to take note of the tee position here as the greens are very large. Hole 3, a par 3, plays slightly uphill over an undulating bowl of a fairway. Pin placement is key here as this hole is loosely modeled after a par 3 at Cruden Bay in Scotland.

Hole 6 is a par 4 that measures a 200 yard carry from the back tee to the fairway. There is no place to bail out and there is a bunker to the left of the green. A mound at the front presents you with a great problem, rating this hole the #1 handicap hole on Heathland. On hole 10, a draw with the driver sets up a mid-iron approach shot, but you're better off driving to the right of the fairway bunkers. You then will deal with a long approach to the slightly bowled large green.
