The par 71 Heathland
Course, designed by Tom Doak, is a return to the grand, "Old Country" traditions
of the game. It has been distinctly molded in the image of the British
Isles links courses, with holes reminiscent of familiar links like
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 bunkers
and lush, deep rough that closely border et fairways. Many of the
greenside bunkers are deep and require creative shotmaking to escape.
Rated one of the "Top 10 New Resort Courses in the World" by GOLF
Magazine in 1990, Heathland's design allows players of all ability
levels to "step back in time."
