Harbour Town Golf Links is one of the most beautiful courses in South Carolina, with Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus as its designers it comes as no surprise. The course is an annual host on the PGA Tour with the Heritage Tournament and has collected numerous awards over the years.

In 2010 Golf Digest rated it as the 13th best course in the USA and in a survey conducted by the PGA Tour professionals, it was rated as the 2nd best course in America. 

Located within the Sea Pines Plantation on Hilton Head Island in Beaufort County the course has narrow fairways with overhanging pine trees and oaks, it is not just the sea you need to watch out for as the rough here can be just as punishing. The one blessing if you are not playing as well as you would like is the beautiful scenery to admire throughout your round.

Harbour Town Golf Links

The famous Pete Dye worked in close consultation with Jack Nicklaus, and the result is a championship layout to test the creativity and imagination of the finest golfers; Harbour Town Golf Links at The Sea Pines Resort is among the shorter courses to regularly stage PGA Tour events, but the fantastic variety of Pete Dye's design ensures sufficient difficulty.

Being the only course in South Carolina to annually stage a PGA Tour event; The RBC Heritage which usually follows the week of the Masters, Harbour Town Golf Links has attracted some of the biggest names on the tour, the likes of Branden Grace, Matt Kuchar and Graeme Mcdowell have all been victorious here.

It is not only in recent years that golf's biggest names have lifted the trophy at Harbour Town, the first time it was ever held at the beautiful links in 1969 it was won by no other than the late great Arnold Palmer. The course is notorious for producing some low winning scores, with the previous lowest score to win at Harbour Town Golf Links shot by Brian Gay in 2009 at -20, now overtaken by Webb Simpson in 2020 winning at 22 under par.

Bordering the beautiful Calibogue Sound - often buffeted by brisk coastal breezes - Harbour Town Golf Links is best known for its closing hole; guarded over by the iconic lighthouse, the 18th is one of the world's most celebrated holes, and is worth the trip to Hilton Head Island alone. It's ‘do or die' at Harbour Town's finishing hole - step up to the plate and take on the water that guards short and left.

As well as playing Harbour Town Golf Links, a visit to Heron Point and Atlantic Dunes by Davis Love III is a must while on a golf holiday in Hilton Head.

A simply breathtaking golf course, every hole is fantastic as you would expect from Pete Dye. The condition was also excellent, and the forecaddie certainly adds to the experience. The last few holes are especially memorable. Clubhouse is wonderful, with a huge locker room and excellent practice facilities. All in all, a special experience.

Great course but playing it just less than 3 weeks before the PGA tour event, the preparations/stands marred some of the views.

An exceptional golfing experience. Incredible facilities, wonderful condition, great fore caddies. All round perfect. The welcome at the club one of the best I have ever had, great service afterwards and ended up spending fours hours in clubhouse. Any golfer heading to the area should play here, it really is what a golf trip is all about
