Legends- Moorland Course
As one of the most requested courses in the area, Dye's signature deep bunkers, multi-level greens, fairways, and bulkheads easily make it one of the most challenging courses on the East Coast. Designed by noted P. B. Dye, large expanses of natural growth, sand, water, and waste areas combine to present a course reminiscent of the PGA West Stadium course. Moorland will cause you to rise to incredible heights on the sculpted hils and sink to considerable lows in the bunkers. Moorland has rightfully achieved designation as one of the "Top 10 New Courses of 1990" and one of "America's 50 Toughest Golf Courses" by Golf Digest.
The par-4 16th hole is only 245 yards but is protected by the famed "Hell's Half Acre." The green is surrounded by very deep and severe bunkers, daring you to be bold. On the par-3 13th hole, wind can and probably will significantly affect your tee shot. Make sure you favor the right side of the green as the left is practically all waste area. The par-3 7th hole is the most difficult par-3 on the course. With a length of 245 yards, the green is tremendously undulated but there is room for you on the right if you need it.
On the par-5 15th, a definite 3-shot hole, the closer you get to the green the more narrow the landing area becomes. The green is very deep and three-tiered which will make your pin placements very tricky. The last hole, a par-4, should favor the right with a slight draw. A large mound on the right of the green blocks the player's view of a portion of the green, which is large than appears on the second shot.
With a course rating of 73.1 and a slope rating of 128, the course features 6,799 yards of challenging, unforgiving, and intense golf.
