Sometimes a golf course can exceed all expectations with fantastic playability, unforgettable views, and unique challenges for all skill levels.  Playing it becomes the ultimate escape where all your cares in the world melt away, and all you focus on is the world-class golf.  Harbour Town Golf Links is like that.  Only better. 


Around every corner of this masterpiece golf course is a wow-moment and "I was here" photo spot that can turn memorable rounds into some of the most favorite we ever play.  And the conditioning is every bit as pristine the day you play it, as it is the week the PGA Tour comes to town for the RBC Heritage. 

Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town Golf Links Course Review: The Front-9 (RBC Heritage)

Harbour Town Golf Links is one of the ultimate bucket list courses you can play in golf.  This Hilton Head track hosts the RBC Heritage every year on the PGA Tour, and is a pure golf experience that lets you walk in the footsteps of the game's greatest players. 

 

To play well here you have to think your way around this Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus design and find the correct sides of fairways for optimal angles into the greens.  Harbour Town is not a long golf course (with five sets of tees ranging from 5,084 yards to 7,099 yards), but that's part of its soul and charm for amateurs and professionals alike.
