One of the first links-style courses in the Myrtle Beach area. In 1993 Golf Digest named this beauty as the “Best New Resort Course in America.” They followed that up by picking it as one of the “Best 50 Public Courses in America” in 1990 and as the “Number 2 Golf Course in North Carolina” in 1983. They’ve had a hell of a time with their greens, but they renovated all of them in the summer of 2004, and the “Bay” came back and better and badder than before. This layout features picturesque marsh-oriented holes; two island greens (No. 17 is one of their two signature holes), fresh water lakes, generous landing areas, rolling terrain and large undulating greens. The unique par 4 No. 13 is the other signature hole there. 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.
