Legends - Heathland

Heathland was only Tom Doak's second course, built in 1990 before he became the most celebrated minimalist architect in golf. Developer Larry Young wanted a Scottish links course in Myrtle Beach and hired a young Doak on the recommendation of a Scottish golf photographer. The flat site required wall-to-wall shaping, but Doak showed restraint — building ridges across the property rather than mounding alongside each hole. The 7th green tips its hat to St Andrews' Road Hole; the closing hole echoes Royal Lytham. A piece of architectural history at Myrtle Beach pricing.
