The par 71 Heathland Course, designed by Tom Doak, is a return
to the grand, "Old Country" traditions of the game. It has been
distinctly molded in the image of the British Isles links courses,
with holes reminiscent of familiar links like 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 bunkers and lush, deep rough that closely
border et fairways. Many of the greenside bunkers are deep and require
creative shotmaking to escape. Rated one of the "Top 10 New Resort
Courses in the World" by GOLF Magazine in 1990, Heathland's design
allows players of all ability levels to "step back in time." |
