Legends Golf Resort announced that The Piper will be a short-course experience rooted in Scottish heritage while creating a new social venue with music and golf under the lights. It is expected to open later this year, according to a release.

Designed by celebrated course architect Ken Baker, owner of Baker Golf Design, The Piper takes its name and inspiration from the wandering musicians of Scottish folklore, whose melodies were said to guide travelers, summon spirits or lead people astray. The new course carries that theme across nine holes, each representing a verse in the Piper’s song.

The layout focuses on the ground game, challenging players with holes ranging from 54 yards to 122 yards. The Piper covers 12 acres and is designed so guests can take in the full view of the course from the clubhouse patio, watching players across multiple greens at once.

The new course represents the future of resort golf, where play, hospitality and entertainment intersect, the release said. The Piper will be fully lit for evening rounds with three-hole loops and food and beverage outlets throughout the course, the release said. Guests can expect music-driven events, group competitions and casual gatherings that extend the golf experience.

“With The Piper, we set out to create holes that are visually engaging and memorable, but also fit with the landscape and atmosphere that we’re looking to highlight at the resort,” Ken Baker said in the release. “That inspiration comes to life through the routing of the course, with a links feel and drama happening on the ground rather than in the air. Entries into the greens are open to encourage creativity and shotmaking.”

The Piper will be developed within the resort’s 30-acre practice facility. The new course will be close to the resort’s lighted grass range, a 50,000 square-foot putting green and short game area.

It is expected to open to public play in late fall. It will join Legends’ five other 18-hole courses, as well as onsite lodging with villas and condos.
