The professionals weren’t sure what to make of Harbour Town when they first tangled with it in the early 1970s. Unlike so many other courses being built in that timeframe, this design by Nicklaus and Dye didn’t rely on length as much as it did in having unique green shapes that were in turn protected by all sorts of hazards, including railroad ties at the 13th green. Standout holes abound, including the V-shaped green at the short 9th and the finishing stretch from 13 in. Even 50 years after their construction, these exemplar holes remain as compelling and interesting as anything that modern architecture has to offer. Max fee: $370.
