The Tour comes again to Hilton Head for the forty ninth RBC Heritage Classic.
Harbour Town Golf Links become built in 1967 designed by way of Pete Dye with the assist of Jack Nicklaus. Many humans don?T recognize that Nicklaus? Structure mentor was Pete Dye.
The path performs to 7,099 yards at a par-71. It features very slim fairways with some dangers, however dense trees lining the fairways as well as some oddly fashioned greens. Harbour Town ranks as considered one of Dye?S quality designs and is almost universally beloved by means of golfers of any handicap.
Personally, I?M not sure by using Dye. I?Ve played lots of his designs that I notion have been excellent (Harbour Town, Old Marsh and Kiawah), lots of them that I notion stunk (Pound Ridge) and a lot of them I observed to be center of the street (Dye Preserve and TPC Louisiana).
Dye?S guides often have very fundamental holes that have been made because of him making the large splash with some function holes. That doesn?T quite trouble me as likely, now not every hole is going to be a domestic run and he can create a nice ebb and glide to the weaker designs in comparison to the feature holes. I have a tendency to have a bigger difficulty with the blind tee pictures to slim touchdown regions where there's risks on each sides and long of the touchdown area. I assume it?S very vital to be extremely judicial with blind tee photographs in golfing and Mr. Dye actually doesn?T proportion that opinion.
But, he designed a first rate one here and the gamers like it as well. The simplest issue is that it?S so tight that the bombers generally tend to stay faraway from it and it additionally comes right after Masters week, so the sector isn?T the strongest one.
Most of the shots lost or won will come from mid-technique shots and watch out for greenside bunker play as nicely if it gets windy and players war to discover the GIR.
