The Sea Pines Resort Golf Courses
Harbour Town Golf Links
Par: 71
Harbour Town Golf Links, home to the RBC Heritage Golf Tournament, is one of the most celebrated courses on the PGA Tour. While it is a popular choice among professional golfers, it remains open to the public year-round. This course is appreciated for its mental challenges rather than just physical strength. Players will need to utilize all the clubs in their bag as they navigate through the course, which features overhanging branches from surrounding trees, sand and grass bunkers, and a lagoon that runs through the layout.
All the effort and mental focus culminate at the 18th hole, which is one of golf’s most iconic finishes. Here, golfers are treated to a stunning view of the Harbour Town Lighthouse and the Calibogue Sound.
