Course Overview
Small greens. Snug fairways. Subtleties galore. Since 1969 the Dye-Nicklaus collaboration has been breath of fresh as an annual stop on the PGA Tour, a break from the same-old bomb-and-gouge designs. Modest in yardage but long in character, Harbour Town demands accuracy of the tee and dead-eye iron play to fairways and greens framed by stately pines and knobby live oaks. Standout features include the V-shaped green on the short par-4 9th, and the railroad ties around the 13th green, a Dye signature first inspired by the architect’s travels with his wife, Alice, to Scotland in the 1960s. The closing stretch from 13 on provides an especially rousing finale, punctuated by the sight of the red-and-white striped lighthouse, looming behind in the 18th green.
