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."
