Legends Golf Resort, on US 501 west of Myrtle Beach, is a golf property whose development began in 1990. It has three 18-hole courses, each with a very different style: Tom Doak’s largely treeless, links-inspired Heathland, P.B. Dye’s heaving Moorland and the tree-lined Parkland by Larry Young. Villas are on site, a Scottish-style pub sits in the Turnberry Park neighbourhood, and stay-and-play packages include breakfast, lunch and two drinks with each round. In October 2026 it opened The Piper, a nine-hole par-3 course lit for evening play.

The Piper is not automatically included, so ask for it. Prices depend on date and are shown when you search.
The courses at Legends Golf Resort (Heathland, Moorland and Parkland).
Heathland (par 71, Tom Doak)
Built in the image of British Isles links, with holes that recall St Andrews, Lahinch and Cruden Bay. Most holes have no trees or high vegetation, so the breeze is the main defence, along with deep greenside bunkers and thick rough tight to the fairways. GOLF Magazine named it one of the top ten new resort courses in the world in 1990, and Golfweek ranked it among South Carolina’s best public-access courses in 2025.
Moorland (par 72, P.B. Dye)
Opened in 1990, with big undulations, natural growth, sand, water, waste areas and bulkheads that the resort compares with the PGA West Stadium Course. Its most famous hole is the 16th, a 245-yard par 4 whose green is guarded by a large bunker known as Hell’s Half Acre. Golf Digest named it one of the top ten new courses of 1990.
Parkland (par 72, Larry Young)
Opened in October 1992 and styled after Alister MacKenzie and George Thomas. Contoured, tree-lined fairways and wide natural areas lead to very large greens with several levels, and the bunkers in the fairways and around the greens are deep-faced. It is the most traditional of the three and the best contrast to Heathland.
The round, in perspective.
Moorland opened in 1990, the same year GOLF Magazine named Heathland a top new resort course, and Parkland followed in October 1992. The resort calls Moorland one of the strongest challenges on the East Coast, and Golf Digest has listed it among America’s 50 toughest courses. Parkland completes the set with a more traditional American design. A 30-acre practice complex with a grass range lit for night play sits beside the main clubhouse, along with a putting green the resort puts at around an acre, also lit. The Piper adds nine holes of 54 to 122 yards, 750 yards in all, designed by Ken Baker.

Make the trip work.
Three courses on one site make Legends a good base for a group that does not want to drive every day. Play Heathland on a calm morning if you can, as the wind changes it completely, and save Moorland for when you are warmed up. The lit range and putting green, and The Piper, mean there is still golf to play after an afternoon round. Heritage Club is about 30 miles south and Oyster Bay roughly 30 minutes north, so either works as a day away from the home courses.
Myrtle Beach International (MYR) is about ten miles from the main clubhouse, around 20 minutes by car. The resort is at 1500 Legends Drive, off US 501 between Myrtle Beach and Conway; Tanger Outlets on US 501 is three miles away.
The resort’s villas are steps from the courses, and the Ailsa Pub sits among them in the Turnberry Park neighbourhood. Guests also get an outdoor pool, hot tub, and tennis and pickleball courts. For a beach base instead, central Myrtle Beach and Broadway at the Beach are about nine miles east, and the resort can book oceanfront houses as part of a package.
Make a trip of it.
The Dunes Golf & Beach Club and Pine Lakes are both in central Myrtle Beach, within about 20 minutes. Heritage Club at Pawleys Island and Oyster Bay at Sunset Beach are the group’s other courses and fit easily into a Legends package. The Ailsa Pub, open from 4pm to midnight, has been a local favourite since 1994 and is listed by Golf Digest among the top 50 19th holes in America.
Find your season.
Spring and autumn are the busiest months, when package prices are highest. The lit range, putting green and The Piper make summer evenings useful once the heat drops. Winter brings lower rates; Heathland, with few trees to block the wind, is the course most affected by a cold breeze.
What is included in a Legends stay-and-play package?
A breakfast buffet each golf day, any lunch entrée, two drinks with every round, unlimited range access and 20 per cent off in the pro shop. The resort says Oyster Bay rounds in a package carry the same breakfast, lunch and drinks. The Piper is extra unless you add it.
Which Legends course is the hardest?
Moorland, by P.B. Dye, has the reputation. Golf Digest listed it among America’s 50 toughest courses, and its 245-yard par-4 16th plays to a green guarded by a bunker called Hell’s Half Acre. Heathland can be just as hard when the wind blows.
What is The Piper at Legends?
A nine-hole par-3 walking course that opened in October 2026, designed by Ken Baker of Baker Golf Design. Holes run from 54 to 122 yards, 750 yards in total, inside the resort’s 30-acre practice facility, and the course is fully lit for evening play.
