Harbour Town Golf Links
Add A Review
The Harbour Town Golf Links is a golf course that hosts the Verizon Heritage golf tournament on the PGA Tour, usually held in April. The course is located in the Sea Pines Plantation of Hilton Head Island, in Beaufort County of South Carolina. GOLF Magazine has rated the course #1 in the state of South Carolina.
The course opened in 1967, with Pete Dye as the architect with help from Jack Nicklaus. The course, along with the Ocean and Sea Marsh courses, makes up the Sea Pines Resort.
The course can be considered as quite short by today’s standards of golf, but it requires shots that are perfectly positioned, arrow-straight accuracy, and consistency from the player. In fact, many of the holes are shorter than average, so professionals usually find themselves relying on their wedges to shoot low scores.
A customary tradition is that, when a player wins the Verizon Heritage tournament (and usually on the eighteenth hole), the boats lined up in Calibogue Sound toot their horns to the winner.
