Moorland Course
at Legends Golf Resort
Myrtle Beach, USA
Legends Moorland Course overview
Length: 6,755 yards | Par: 72 | Architect: P.B. Dye | Opened: 1990
The Moorland Course at Legends Golf Resort is a bold, visually striking layout crafted by P.B. Dye, son of legendary course designer Pete Dye. Often ranked among the toughest courses in South Carolina, Moorland is a dramatic test of strategy, shot-making, and mental resilience, all set against a backdrop of rolling mounds, deep bunkers, and sculpted fairways.
Built in true Dye fashion, the course features expansive waste areas, multi-tiered greens, and elevation changes that challenge golfers to commit to every swing. While generous fairways give players room off the tee, it's the daunting approach shots and penal run-offs that define the experience. Moorland rewards creativity, courage, and a solid short game.
This is not a course for the faint of heart, but for those who enjoy a memorable, high-stakes round with architectural flair, Moorland is a must-play.

- 16th Hole – Par 4 ("Hell’s Half Acre"): A visually intimidating hole featuring a massive waste area and deep bunkering—precision and nerve are essential.
