Heathland Course at Legends Golf ComplexThe 18-hole Heathland Course at Legends Golf Complex in Myrtle Beach, SC is a public golf course that opened in 1990. Designed by Tom Doak, Heathland Course at Legends Golf Complex measures 6785 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 127 and a 72.3 USGA rating. The course features 3 sets of tees for different skill levels. The greens are bent grass and the fairways are bermuda.
Heathland's design allows players of all ability levels to "Step Back in Time". The par 71 Heathland Course, designed by Tom Doak, has been craftily molded in the image of the British links courses, with holes reminiscent of familiar links like St. Andrews and lesser known gems like Lahinch and Cruden Bay.
Most of the holes have no trees on them, providing a visual presentation like no other course around. The challenge and difficulty of this course comes primarily from the unobstructed breeze, strategically placed bunkers and the lush deep rough, rather than from boundries of trees. Some of the greens at Heathland are huge, presenting an interesting dilemma to players who hit their shots on the wrong portion of the green. Some of the greenside bunkers are deep and require well-played shots to escape.
