The Oyster Bay Golf Links at the Legends Golf Resort in Myrtle Beach was developed by Larry Young and designed by Dan Maples. Two par three island greens and an eclectic mix of holes make this a memorable track.
The Legends Golf Resort is one of the most-acclaimed golf destinations in the United States’s most golf-dense location, Myrtle Beach, including the Heathland, Moorland, and Heritage layouts. Owner Larry Young wouldn’t let his success be limited by state lines and so he expanded Legends reach to immediately across the North Carolina border, where Dan Maples (also the architect of the Heritage course) worked with Young to create the Oyster Bay course.
The Legends courses from Tom Doak (Heathland) and P.B. Dye (Moorland) show a relative conservatism for the Myrtle Beach scene, but the Oyster Bay layout will absolutely tickle the feet for those who come to the area seeking adrenaline-fueled golf.
A number of holes play along the Calabash River and the Intracoastal Waterway near the shore and, just in case one island green wasn’t enough for you, Oyster Bay features two. One is the penultimate hole, in true TPC Sawgrass tradition, but No. 15 will be the one that will truly buckle your knees. It measures more than 210 yards from the tips (and the full length of the longest tees is just 6,700 yards).
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
