N - Sea Pines Resort

Harbour Town Golf Links opened to immediate fanfare as host of the
inaugural Heritage Classic on Thanksgiving weekend in 1969 and
crowned Arnold Palmer as its first champion.
Course architect Pete Dye and design consultant Jack Nicklaus created
an instant classic that requires accurate shot making to navigate
narrow fairway corridors lined with moss covered live oaks, palmettos,
tall pines, magnolias, and menacing lagoons. Harbour Town’s small
greens, large waste bunkers, tiny pot bunkers, and wooden bulkhead
features have since become signature Dye trademarks.
Measuring 6,973 yards from the Heritage tees with a course rating
of 75.0 and slope of 146, the par-71 course is deceptively short by
today’s standards. Throughout the round, a player must not only
find the fairway, but often must be on the proper side of the fairway
to safely reach the green. Ironically, the famous par 4 18th hole plays
across the tidal marshes of the Calibogue Sound to one of the widest
landing areas in championship golf. The memorable approach plays
over the hazard to a well-guarded green with the candy-striped
lighthouse standing sentinel in the distance.
Harbour Town’s quartet of par 3’s is among the finest collections in
the game. Holes 4 and 14 play to small bulk-headed greens protected
by water. The unique 7th green is surrounded by sand, live oaks, and
palmettos. Finally, the picturesque 17th with lagoon and trademark
Dye bunkering is influenced by the breezes off the Calibogue Sound.
Harbour Town encourages walking at any time and offers both
walking caddies and forecaddies to enhance your experience.

with a small bulk-headed

is a small approach cut

conservative shot can still

attacking this well-guarded

requires a well-placed drive
to dead center of fairway.
The massive oak and waste
area can hinder approach
shots from the right. There
is plenty of room short and
