Legends-Heathland 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.

Legends-Parkland Taking its place alongside the award-winning Heathland and Moorland
courses, Parkland is quickly establishing itself as the most exciting new course in Myrtle Beach.Offering distinct contrasts to the first two Legends courses, Parkland demonstrates the diversity and beauty of the natural terrain with contoured, tree-lined fairways, vast natural
areas, deep-faced bunkers and massive, multi-level greens.

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.

Oyster Bay Voted the 1983 Golf Digest “Resort Course of the Year,” and ranked by the same publication among the top 50 public courses in the country in 1990, Oyster Bay Golf Links is a rare, harmonious blend of the penal, heroic and strategic philosophies of golf course architecture.
Architect Dan Maples and developer Larry Young created a course where variety and innovation are the name of the game.

Heritage Club Heritage Plantation is a tribute to the rice culture that revered the land centuries ago. Over 600 acres of giant magnolias, 300-year-old oaks, fresh water lakes and marshes have been transformed into a golfing community to rival the finest in the world. Built on the site
of the True Blue and Midway Plantations, Heritage reflects a history of gracious, tasteful living.

River Oaks Golf Resort Renovations

Heritage #2River Oaks Golf Resort, with recent and continuing renovations, should not be overlooked when planning your next golf excursion to Myrtle Beach. Occupying a fantastic location right in central Myrtle Beach along 501, River Oaks has had a great layout but needed some renovations and TLC.  The course had challenging playing conditions and was tough to keep in good shape year round. Renovations have been in the works over the past six months.

River Oaks has the luxury of having 27 holes and thus shut down 9 holes at a time to do necessary renovations and improvements.  The Otter Nine closed in early July and just recently re-opened.  More than 2,000 trees were removed to make the course easier for the higher handicap golfer.  In addition, bunkers were eliminated in some areas and added in others. Cart paths were improved as well as drainage and irrigation.  River Oaks is currently renovating the Fox Nine and will re-open in March, prior to the busy spring golf season.

Much of the work on the course was to remove bunkers that were really not in play except for the high handicap player.  New sand and greenside bunkers will make the course more challenging for a lower handicap player and more fun for a higher handicap player.  River Oaks is also benefiting from re-doing the greens and switching to Champions Bermuda Greens to ensure the best possible putting surfaces.

In addition to the renovations on the course itself, plans are afoot to add an outdoor bar / sitting area where it will be easy to grab food and drink at the turn or enjoy a nice cold one after an enjoyable round of golf.
It’s great to see new life breathed into this classic golf course design.  River Oaks is tough to ignore based on it’s location alone.  Check it out next time you are thinking about coming to Myrtle Beach for some golf. Since the course is located next to 600 or more golf villas, it has an ideal location to get in that extra 9 or 18 holes during the course of your stay in Myrtle Beach.

You can play River Oaks for $39 per person including carts.  This is reason enough to add an extra round to your package.
