This 7,017-yard P.B. Dye design is considered to be one of the strongest challenges on the "Strand" and is reminiscent of the PGA West Stadium Course in the Palm Springs area. Moorland is the ultimate risk-reward course in many ways. Golf Digest ranked the layout the 37th toughest in all of America, but golfers seem to thrive on the course’s challenge as opposed to running from it. Multi leveled fairways with deep faced bunkers, as well as the signature bulkheads, make this course one of the area's most requested rounds. There are no easy lies in the mounding and grassy swales that surround most of the challenging, raised green complexes.

Golfers will be challenged to go for the flag - as missing these greens on the approach can result in some extremely tough up and down situations. There are 64 sand bunkers including all the expansive waste areas, which guard the greens and also help to define the landing zones along the manicured fairways. Water hazards also come into play on 7 holes. The front nine at Moorland rewards long hitters and Dye provided margin for error off the tee. The front nine plays 3,379 yards from the blue tees and 3,217 from the white. The back side is 239 yards shorter from the blues and 266 yards less from the whites. If you are struggling on the front side, remain patient because opportunity may await at the turn. Number 16, a 313-yard, par 4, otherwise known as Hell’s Half Acre, is one of the most famous Myrtle Beach golf holes. It’s drivable from every set of tees, but if you miss the green, trouble awaits. Pot bunkers, waste areas, grass bunkers, pampas grass and a hidden bunker located just over the green await you. It’s not the course’s most difficult hole, because it surrenders more than its share of birdies, but it’s certainly the most memorable.
