Scottish-inspired Legends resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina: A Grand Strand golf vacation in and of itself
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- With three golf courses located at the resort -- the Heathland, Moorland and Parkland Courses -- the Scottish-inspired Legends is a Grand Strand golf vacation in and of itself.
Legends' par-71 Heathland Course, designed by Tom Doak, mimics a links from the British Isles. It's a chip off St. Andrews' block, with touches of Lahinich and Cruden Bay thrown in.
P.B. Dye's Moorland has a great reputation as a tough East Coast play. Natural growth, sand, water and waste areas combine for a play similar to the PGA West Stadium Course.
New to the block, Legends' Parkland offers the diversity and beauty of the natural Myrtle Beach terrain. Tree-lined fairways, multi-level greens and massive bunkers abound on the course.
When you finish with the courses, retire to the resort. Legends offers golf villas in a setting that gives off a Scottish Village-vibe. Also, don't miss the Ailsa Pub, offering 16 HDTVs and a full menu. The resort features a large pool and hot tub, too, for after-golf relaxation.

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.
On Moorland you can play many of the most feared holes in Myrtle Beach as well as the shortest par four guarded by "Hell's Half-Acre". This is definitely a "target" golf course. It is also a controversial golf course. Moorland will cause the golfer to rise to incredible heights and constantly use every bit of skill and luck in their possession.
Parkland Course at Legends Golf Complex in Myrtle Beach is modeled after the style of Alister Mackenzie reminiscent of Augusta National & Pine Valley. Distinct by itself, the Parklands is a contrast of natural beauty and a complete experience in the game of Golf.
