Editor’s Note: Harbour Town Golf Links is the most intimate venue on the PGA Tour — narrow, tree-lined and demanding precision over power. Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus collaborated here at the dawn of modern golf course architecture; the result influenced an entire generation of designers who saw that a course under 7,000 yards could be more demanding than anything longer. The lighthouse behind the 18th green is the most recognisable finishing backdrop on the American tour.

Key Notes & 19th Hole
- Hole 18 — Par 4, 478 Yards: The lighthouse hole — perhaps the most recognisable finishing hole backdrop in American professional golf. The approach must carry Calibogue Sound to a green beside the iconic red-and-white striped Harbour Town lighthouse.
- The RBC Heritage: The week after the Masters — the players who just competed at Augusta come to Harbour Town for arguably the most civilised week on the PGA Tour calendar.
- The Inn at Harbour Town: On-site resort accommodation — the most convenient base for RBC Heritage week. Book via Expedia →
