About the course
Why golfers play Legends Heathland
Legends Heathland is Tom Doak's tribute to the links courses of the British Isles, with holes that recall St. Andrews, Lahinch and Cruden Bay. Most of the layout plays without trees or high vegetation, so the constant breeze, the strategically placed bunkers and the deep rough bordering the fairways provide the defense. With a slope of 141 and a course rating of 72.7, the par 71 course is a stern test for low handicaps and confident players, though multiple tee sets keep it a fair day for mixed groups when the wind allows. GOLF Magazine rated it among the Top 10 New Resort Courses in the world when it opened in 1990. On a Legends golf package it pairs naturally with Moorland and Parkland for three distinct rounds on one property.

★★★★★“Check in guy was kind of rude and not real convenient not being able to drive to the range. Course was in good shape and decent pace of play/”
★★★★★“Great layout and really fun course to play. The greens were awful though, seemingly having some sort of mixed grass types that caused them to be very bumpy. Also the beverage cart service was non-existent. We teed off at 8:12 on a Saturday morning and didnt see the beverage cart until the 18th hole. That is insane.”
★★★★★“We were the second group off at 812 and the starter made us feel rushed by telling us which TEE to play and to keep a good pace and not fall behind. We played the front nine in 1:55 and then had to wait on the tenth tee for 45 minutes as there were five groups ahead of us”
★★★★★“Very nice set up. The starters and staff moved a heck of a lot of golfers through the course and smoothly.”
★★★★★“Course was fun and straightforward. It was in pretty good shape and was an enjoyable play. It was the easiest of those we played. The only issue was the amount of people on the course. It took about 5 hours and 15 minutes to finish 18 which was a bit annoying waiting in between shots.”
★★★★★“Favorite course. Challenging but fair.”
★★★★★“I thought the course was in nice shape. did not like the way we were treated in the pro shop. no chance of a replay was disappointing. I wouldn't book legends again.”

★★★★★“Great course. Easier than moorland, but still plenty challenging.”
