Currently ranked No. 12 on Golf Magazine’s Best Public Golf Courses in South Carolina roster, this course was molded in the image of the British Isles links courses, with holes reminiscent of 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 deep bunkers and lush, deep rough that closely border the fairways. In 1990 Golf Magazine rated it one of the “Top 10 New Resort Courses in the World.” In 2007 they completed extensive renovations to tee boxes, bunkers and converting their greens to Champion Ultra-Dwarf Bermuda. Their parent company, Legends Resorts, crashed and burned in 2009 to the tune of more than $53 million. Century Golf Partners, a part of Arnold Palmer Golf Management, picked up the pieces, and have done an excellent job of maintaining the high standards the Legends was well known for, as well as becoming known for more freebies than all of the other golf operators in town combined.

Note: Due to their financial difficulties, the condos at Legends got terribly run down. They tell us that they have been doing “some renovations lately”, so we would make sure, when booking, to demand one of the renovated units!
