Larry D. Young

Larry Young and his family came to Myrtle Beach in 1975 to begin an illustrious career that would lead to the building, ownership and development of 13 area golf courses over four decades. Larry’s portfolio included Marsh Harbour, Oyster Bay, The Heritage Club, Heather Glen and his crown jewel: Legends Golf Resort, featuring its renowned Heathland, Moorland and Parkland courses. Larry’s designs quickly emerged as centerpieces of the Myrtle Beach golf landscape that were instrumental in elevating the market to the “Golf Capital of the World” status it enjoys today. Over the years he also developed a golf package company and owned several area hotels.

Larry’s development impact was also felt beyond the Grand Strand, as he partnered with renowned golf course architect Mike Strantz to build the Stonehouse and Royal New Kent courses in the Williamsburg, Virginia area.

Larry challenged everyone from family to business associates to think more and produce great results. Those who worked closely with Larry loved and respected him as a quiet but kind soul who fulfilled daily duties with his entire family’s interest at heart. He proudly worked side by side with his wife of 59 years, Judy, and his two sons, Kyle and Danny.
