Course Overview
The RBC Heritage follows The Masters each year at Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina — designed by Pete Dye with input from Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1969. The course plays to 7,213 yards at par 71 with tree-lined fairways, 54 bunkers, Poa trivialis greens averaging just 3,700 square feet (among the smallest on Tour), and water on multiple holes. The course finishes dramatically along Calibogue Sound at the iconic par-4 18th with its candy-striped lighthouse backdrop.
What to Look For
Harbour Town rewards precision over power. Accuracy off the tee, elite approach play into tiny greens, and strong Poa grass putting are the critical skills. As a Signature Event, the field features the world’s elite. Past champions include Emiliano Grillo, Jordan Spieth, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Stewart Cink.
