The quest toward the 2013 Holy Grail begins at the Sea Pines Resort, Hilton Head.
The Sea Pines Resort in Hilton Head, South Carolina is home to legendary Harbour Town Golf Links (home of the PGA TOUR’s The Heritage) designed by Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus, Heron Point by Pete Dye, and the Ocean Course. The resort’s best-in-class collection of golf courses, amenities, meeting facilities and accommodations makes Sea Pines one of the most sought-after leisure and group destinations in America. Set upon more than 5,000 acres of pristine oceanfront on the southernmost tip of Hilton Head Island, Sea Pines is, arguably, the home of golf in the United States
Heron Point, Pete Dye's latest contribution at Sea Pines, has been named one of America's "Top 50 Courses for Women" by Golf Digest. "Anyone familiar with Pete Dye's amazing body of work knows his wife Alice is intimately involved in the design process," says Cary Corbitt, Director of Sports Division at Sea Pines Resort. "Forced carries, tee placements, approach angles and difficulty are all carefully evaluated to ensure golfers have fun and fair playing experiences." Thus the 7,103-yard layout meanders this way and that around what once was the old Sea Marsh course. Now an innovative creation of long and short holes with all the signature Pete Dye elements present: "sprawling waste bunkers, railroad ties, fairway mounding and risk/reward greens which repel poorly-executed approach shots." is woven amid . All Heron Point is a wild and wonderful place with a layout that that incorporate newly-created lagoons and centuries-old Live Oaks. It's a layout that takes full advantage of, yet never intrudes upon, this area of supreme natural beauty.
