Legends Golf Courses
Myrtle Beach
Located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Legends Golf Resort is home to three contrasting championship courses: Heathland, Moorland and Parkland. Each offers a noticeably different style of golf, allowing travelling groups to experience links-inspired design, dramatic target golf and traditional Carolina parkland without leaving the resort. A large practice complex, on-site accommodation and clubhouse facilities make Legends particularly well suited to a multi-round Myrtle Beach golf holiday.
The Heathland Course was designed by Tom Doak and opened in 1990. Playing to a par of 71, it takes inspiration from the classic links courses of the British Isles, with broad playing corridors, relatively few trees and natural-looking contours. The open landscape leaves golfers exposed to the breeze, while deep bunkers and thick rough provide much of the challenge. Rather than simply demanding power, Heathland encourages creativity, thoughtful positioning and the ability to adapt shots to changing conditions. It was named among GOLF Magazine's Top 10 New Resort Courses in the World following its opening and was recognised by Golfweek among South Carolina's leading public-access courses in 2025.
The Moorland Course provides a completely different experience. Designed by P.B. Dye and also opened in 1990, this par-72 layout features dramatic elevation changes, large expanses of sand, water, waste areas and strongly contoured green complexes. Its bold design has drawn comparisons with the Stadium Course at PGA West and requires confident decision-making throughout the round. One of its best-known holes is the short par-four 16th, where the enormous bunker protecting the green is appropriately known as Hell's Half Acre. Moorland has previously been recognised by Golf Digest among America's toughest courses.
Completing the on-site trio is the Parkland Course, a par-72 layout opened in 1992. Designed by Larry Young, it provides a more traditional Carolina-style challenge, with contoured tree-lined fairways, extensive natural areas, deep-faced bunkers and large multi-level greens. Its sheltered woodland character creates a strong contrast to the openness of Heathland and the dramatic shaping of Moorland, with accuracy and strategic approach play particularly important.
Golfers also have access to the resort's 30-acre lighted practice facility, one of the largest in the Myrtle Beach area, providing plenty of space to warm up or work on different parts of the game.
With three distinctive championship layouts in one location, Legends Golf Resort offers excellent variety for a Myrtle Beach golf holiday. Heathland brings links-inspired strategy, Moorland delivers a bold and demanding challenge, while Parkland provides a classic tree-lined test, making it easy to build several very different rounds into the same stay.

About The Area
Myrtle Beach is one of America’s big-name golf holiday destinations, and for good reason. Sitting on South Carolina’s Grand Strand, it combines beach resorts, lively nightlife, restaurants, shopping, family attractions and a huge choice of golf. Visit Myrtle Beach says the wider area has 80+ championship golf courses, while its main visitor site promotes 90+ championship courses, so the exact count depends on how widely the Grand Strand is defined — either way, golfers are spoilt for choice.
The golf variety is the main selling point. The Dunes Golf & Beach Club is one of the classic Myrtle Beach names, with a Robert Trent Jones-designed championship course and PGA TOUR hosting pedigree. Tidewater Golf Club gives golfers a scenic coastal round between the Intracoastal Waterway and Cherry Grove Inlet, while Barefoot Resort & Golf offers four championship courses designed by Greg Norman, Davis Love III, Tom Fazio and Pete Dye.
Away from golf, Myrtle Beach is a proper holiday destination rather than just a golf base. The wider Grand Strand has around 60 miles of sandy beaches, with boardwalk attractions, seafood restaurants, waterparks, family entertainment, nightlife and coastal towns nearby. That makes it a strong choice for groups where not everyone wants to play every day.
For Hashtag Golf Travel customers, Myrtle Beach works best as a longer USA golf holiday, a group trip, or a multi-course itinerary with plenty of beach and nightlife built in. It is not a quick hop like Spain or Portugal, but for UK golfers wanting an iconic American golf destination with serious course choice, Myrtle Beach is right up there.
