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."
