Harbour Town Golf Links – site of the PGA Tour’s 2025 RBC Heritage – was designed by Pete Dye with an assist from Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1969 on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
Part of Sea Pines Resort, Harbour Town ranks No. 2 in South Carolina on Golfweek’s Best list of public-access layouts in each state. It also ranks No. 24 among all resort courses in the U.S., and it is No. 59 on Golfweek’s Best list of all modern courses in the U.S.
Harbour Town will play to 7,213 yards with a par of 71 for the RBC Heritage. With tree branches frequently dangling into playing corridors, the layout tends to favor control over brute strength as players must navigate sometimes tight fairway lines on the interior holes before the course moves to Calibogue Sound for the final two holes. After the tournament, Harbour Town Golf Links will close May 5 through Nov. 10 for a restoration.
