This course is one of the very best examples of how clueless and useless national golf course rankings can be. While Heathland is a “good” course, the other two courses at Legends, and at least 18 other Myrtle Beach tracks, put this one to shame, and yet its ranked No. 10 in South Carolina on GolfWeek’s Best Courses You Can Play. This course was molded in the image of the British Isles links courses, with holes reminiscent of St. Andrews, and lesser-known gems like Lahinch and Cruden Bay. Most of the holes are without high vegetation, providing a visual presentation like no other course in the area. The challenge and difficulty of this course comes primarily from the unobstructed breeze that wafts constantly over the course, and the strategically placed deep bunkers and lush, deep rough that closely border the fairways. In 1990 Golf Magazine rated it one of the “Top 10 New Resort Courses in the World.” In 2007 they completed extensive renovations to tee boxes, bunkers and converting their greens to Champions Ultra-Dwarf Bermuda. Their parent company, Legends Resorts, crashed and burned in 2009 to the tune of more than $53 million. Century Golf Partners, a part of Arnold Palmer Golf Management, picked up the pieces, and have done an excellent job of maintaining the high standards the Legends was well known for.
