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."
Bo's comments: Heathland is a very good
course and a great test of golf. It has a Scottish flare &
is the easiest of the 3 Legends courses.
