Legends Moorland

Considered one of the strongest challenges on the East Coast - a par 72 triumph - Moorland was designed by noted golf architect P. B. Dye and opened for play in 1990. Large expanses of natural growth, sand, water and waste areas combine with extraordinary undulations and bulkheaded areas to present a course reminiscent of the PGA West Stadium Course. This controversial course is definitely a "target" golf course. Created in the Dye tradition, Moorland will cause golfers to rise to incredible heights on the sculpted terrain, sink to considerable depths in the bunkers, and constantly use every ounce of skill and luck in their possession. Moorland indeed earned its designation as one of the "Top 10 New Courses of 1990," by Golf Digest. Play the 245 yard par-4 16th and see for yourself why the large bunker guarding the green is so appropriately named "Hell's Half Acre."

Legends' web site has photos of the courses and specials available, but the never-ending bagpipe turns my stomach. The Heathland course is definitely the most striking course on the Legends complex, but Moorland and Parkland are reasonable difficult and fun to play.
