Designed by dan Maples and Larry Young in 1986 and built on two historic rice plantations along the picturesque Waccamaw River, few courses capture the beauty and charm of the Southern landscape as well.
Incorporating centuries old live oaks, lakes and marshes, this course follows the land’s natural contours and features wide rolling fairways with spacious undulating greens. You’ll pass by a 19th-century cemetery of a “rice prince’s” family. There are countless 300-year-old Spanish-moss covered live oaks and residual ponds that once irrigated rice. The course reeks of the Old South upon arrival with a monstrous, two-story, plantation-estate-looking, white-pillared clubhouse and vivid flowering plants across the front. Those modern-day automotive contraptions are parked at a discrete distance and a shuttle ferries golfers and bags. The par-71 course is missing a par 5 on the front, but it still exceeds 7,000 yards from the tips and is 5,201 yards from the reds.This par 71 Dan Maples-designed course will be host to the “Father and Son Team Classic” in July 2013. Your tee shot on the 175-yard par 3 13th hole is threatened by water surrounding the green. The course gives you one warm-up hole before it throws a creative par-5 second hole at you. The second hole offers two fairways, the safer but longer route to the right avoids the water carry until a short chip shot to the green, or the shorter but more perilous left fairway that requires a good drive and strong second shot for a nice, dry, short iron to the elevated green over a raft of bunkers. Built on a rice plantation, Heritage Club’s oak-lined drive leads to a plantation style clubhouse. With large undulating greens and rolling fairways, the course challenges both the junior and senior players. The lakes and marshlands create a Low country beauty that is unmatched as the golfer finishes on a 470-yard par 5 and returns to the clubhouse.

Course layout not bad but backups are crazy
(2)
I realize it is the busy season for the area but it is also the most expensive so the service should be better – stop overbooking no one wants to wait over 6 hours to finish a round. And the rangers do nothing not sure why there are even there. I will book in the summer maybe when the rates are $25. to play. The summer season really is probably the only time to play the legends courses – only worth $25 a round.
We get on Heritage 1st green and it was completely gone. Every green was horrible with backups. There was no mention of this before the round and did nothing to compensate us afterwards. Our group comes down every year and we play at least one legend course every trip. We requested to be compensated for the horrible and have not heard back from Legends yet. The worst customer service. I know of other groups from the central Illinois area who take the myrtle trip yearly and I will be sure to pass on the word to not play legend courses.

Worst course in Myrtle Beach
A lot of people drinking too much I guess maybe they are trying to relive spring break. And crazy backups.
