One of the best golf experiences ever. We visited in January and got so fortunate with the weather. Everything is top notch here from the course to the service and clubhouse. The course is cart path only year round so you can opt to walk which I did and it wasn’t bad. The price tag may seem hefty but it is cheaper than Pebble Beach. And while Pebble certainly has more ocean views, Harbour Town has pretty everything else on a grander scale. Oh and look for Jimmy from New York to caddy for you. Great service, attitude, and demeanor. Definitely going back.

Harbour Town is in process of building a club house, so the experience of signing in at a temporary building was not an impressive start. We were not aware that you have to take a fore caddie. It took a while to get used to as the main objective of the caddie was to speed play. He did not even want to look for your ball in the rough. I will say our caddie was excellent at reading the greens. Clearly, Harbour Town is known for 17 and 18 where you finish on the water and play to the lighthouse. The finish is spectacular. Otherwise the course is similar to other HHI courses. Worth playing once, but I would not rush back.

The clubhouse is currently under construction and closed. They are doing the best they can with the situation and have temporary ProShop set up. Amazingly helpful and friendly employees. The greens have just been aerated. On this course when balls hit the trees they seems to drop straight down. Beautiful course.

Okay, so I am reviewing a golf course that we did not play. But the ever putting BJ had harmed his back in some strange way the day before our trip. And was a bit of a crip on our trip! We did, however, manage to somehow walk the infamous 18th hole. Oh, yes, I am sure professional golfers shudder at this thought. But it was so tempting and we wanted to see it up close. Next, we visited the pro shop. This place is really great. BJ was able to pick up a handsome new golf shirt and a wonderful Tartan plaid towel. The lobby area is interesting and they even have a replica Harbour Town Lighthouse. And who doesn’t enjoy a little photo op with a bright red Tartan plaid winner’s jacket and a trophy or two. And good old Arnie Palmer’s 1969 plaque is on the wall here. Love him. This was a fun stop on our visit.

This is the home of the RBC Heritage Classic since 1969 and we played here on Monday one week after the tournament. Green fees are $ 259.00 a round and includes a four caddy. The whole course is cart path only but the course is immaculate. The Greens were about 10 ½ on the stimpmeter and fairways are narrow but fair. The Harbor Town Golf Links is rated coexistent rated number two by many of the PGA pros behind the masters course at Augusta GA. I can totally understand why this course is rated so high with pine tree lined fairways and perfect fairways, traps and greens. From the Heritage Tees the course length is: 7,101 yards, 75.6 rating with a 147 slope; par 71. Hole number 17 and 18 are incredible finishing holes due to the high winds off the shore and will truly test your golf skills. I enjoyed the course so much I returned another afternoon to get in the front 9 holes. The pro shop is fully stocked with equipment, apparel and golf goodies which made great souvenirs. The staff are also friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommending playing this course on your vacation in Hilton Head. The experience here was priceless!

Harbour Town is a great Golf course and a must play at least once if you travel to Hilton Head. It is not the type of course that you would need to play every visit Therefore I STRONGLY recommend you check on the greens conditions regarding aeration before you play during any season. I suggest an August round, after the PGA Tour leaves, so it is going to be close to the exact same condition as when the pros play it. As most of you know they play the Heritage here(Verizon) and used to host the MCI and I guess that is why the price is what it is when there are many other great coursed that should be played. *See my list of Hilton Head Island Courses for a review of above mentioned courses.* You can Follow my reviews as well. Greens fees range from about $ 125.00 to $ 200.00 and I think can exceed that price up to $ 250.00. The reality is that if you are in Hilton Head and you don’t play HTGL, your gonna feel as though you wished you had, but it’s not really worth any more than one round, in my opinion. Nice course to walk, as it is really flat, as are most all courses in the area. Tough alignments from teeing areas. The last 3 holes are absolutely spectacular and give you the ‘mystique’ feel, that they speak of, but the other holes were not that memorable. The mandatory forecaddy is a little distracting, as they run ahead to keep an eye on where your tee shot will land. It is a mandatory fee, obviously to speed up play when the course gets busy, which it does, as it is regarded as the«premier» course on Hilton Head Island. I know my game and I very much enjoy a personal and knowledgeable caddy that has course knowledge, IE: where to miss, where not to miss, insight on greens, yardage, wind(it can blow there) but I just don ‘t like the idea of a mandatory forecaddy. This is the only reason Harbour Town is not going to get the 5th star, its just too much money, when there are so many other great options, but play it at least once.
