Considered one
of the strongest challenges on the East Coast - a par 72 triumph
- Moorland was designed by noted golf architect P. B. Dye and opened
for play in 1990. Large expanses of natural growth, sand, water and
waste areas combine with extraordinary undulations and bulkheaded
areas to present a course reminiscent of the PGA West Stadium Course.
This controversial course is definitely a "target" golf course. Created
in the Dye tradition, Moorland will cause golfers to rise to incredible
heights on the sculpted terrain, sink to considerable depths in the
bunkers, and constantly use every ounce of skill and luck in their
possession. Moorland indeed earned its designation as one of the "Top
10 New Courses of 1990," by Golf Digest. Play the 245 yard par-4
16th and see for yourself why the large bunker guarding the green
is so appropriately named "Hell's Half Acre."
