The Parkland Course at Legends Golf Resort is the most traditional of the three on-site layouts—but don’t mistake traditional for tame. Built to evoke classic parkland-style architecture found in the Northeast and Midwest, Parkland mixes strategic shot-making with bold modern twists, offering one of the more complete tests of golf in Myrtle Beach.

It’s a course that rewards precision but never forgets to showcase drama.

Course Overview

Parkland is aptly named: tree-lined fairways, bunkers strategically placed along doglegs, and large elevated greens greet players on this 18-hole championship layout. Water hazards appear on just the right holes to keep you honest, while undulating greens add a layer of complexity that challenges even scratch golfers.

The Golfer’s Review

Parkland gives you the feel of a northern country club transplanted into the pine forests of Myrtle Beach. It’s a shot-shaper’s dream—if you like to work the ball left or right, or test your long irons, you’ll love it here. The back nine is particularly fun, with elevation changes and risk-reward holes that bring out your best (or worst). It’s more straightforward than Moorland or Heathland, but no less memorable.
