All Three Courses at Sea Pines Resort Named to Best Courses You Can Play in State by Golfweek Magazine

All three courses at The Sea Pines Resort have been named to the state list of "Best Courses You Can Play" in Golfweek magazine's annual "Ultimate Guide" that recognizes the most prestigious venues in the game. 

 

Harbour Town Golf Links is ranked No. 2 in South Carolina (and you already know how much I love this course), with Atlantic Dunes No. 8, and Heron Point No. 11.  In that order, they also were the top three courses listed on Hilton Head Island.  Golf courses must be accessible to the public to be eligible for the "Best Courses You Can Play" recognition. 

Sea Pines Resort Vice-President of Sports and Operations Cary Corbitt said, 

"With our three must-play championship golf courses, The Sea Pines Resort features a world-class experience on the Carolina coastline.  Our collection of golf designs offers a choice of three completely different styles of play." 

 

Established in 1969, Harbour Town Golf Links remains the hands-down No. 1 golf attraction on Hilton Head Island golf resorts.  Designed by legendary golf architect Pete Dye, with Jack Nicklaus as consultant, the traditional venue for South Carolina's only PGA Tour event has established an illustrious history is largely responsible for Hilton Head's golf reputation internationally. 

Heron Point is a meticulous redesign by Dye that, since 2007, has evolved into an essential component of any Sea Pines Resort golf vacation.  Heron Point is a combination of charm and challenge, with strategic risk-reward shot selections, dramatic fairways, and shifting elevations presented in a remarkably comfortable playing experience.

Atlantic Dunes is a complete reconstruction of the resort's Ocean Course, the first golf course built on Hilton Head Island in 1962.  Retracing the original routing, the Davis Love III design captures the beachfront ambiance and unmistakable Low-country feel.  Each hole was entirely rebuilt to accommodate modern shot values and frame scenic corridors. 

 

The three courses, individually unique and unforgettable, all share one thing in common: each has achieved designation as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.  Also, Atlantic Dunes was named 2018 "National Course of the Year" by the National Golf Course Owners Association. 

Spanning the southern third of Hilton Head Island, The Sea Pines Resort has been a quiet retreat for more than 50 years.  The island paradise on the South Carolina coastline encourages exploration, as visitors refresh their spirit in a relaxed, luxury resort environment.  For more information visit www.seapines.com/golf.  And as always, if you have any questions, shoot me an email or DM on twitter or Instagram.
