Pete Dye masterpiece continues receiving high praise
(HILTON HEAD, S.C.) — The Sea Pines Resort announces its iconic Harbour Town Golf Links – home of PGA TOUR’s RBC Heritage – was once again named No. 4 on the “Platinum List” for Celebrated Living, the official publication of American Airlines Premium Class passengers.
Harbour Town has continually ranked in the highest stratums of elite courses. Known as Pete Dye’s trailblazing design, it joins Pebble Beach, Mauna Kea, Cuscowilla on Lake Oconee and Fazio Canyons at Barton Creek at the top of Celebrated Living’s “Top 20 U.S. Golf Courses” in its June issue.
This acclaim follows Harbour Town being named No. 2 in “Top 10 PGA TOUR Courses” in a recent survey of TOUR players. Comments included: “My favorite Pete Dye course,” “The best course we play,” “…don’t need length for a great golf course,” “It’s a 10 because of great greens,” and “You have to shape the ball on almost every hole.”
“We’re once again flattered by how highly thought of Harbour Town is in the eyes of the golf world,” says Cary Corbitt, director of sports division. “Pete Dye’s foresight and genius gave us a course that stands the test of time and offers TOUR players and our resort guests 18 holes of unforgettable pure golf.”
For those seeking a true TOUR experience on Harbour Town Golf Links, The Sea Pines Resort offers its “RBC Heritage Experience Package.” It features two nights’ accommodations at the Inn at Harbour Town; one round of golf on Harbour Town with walking caddie; daily breakfast; lunch during the round; practice area with customized name plate / complimentary range balls; first-tee introduction; VIP locker room privileges and more.
