With the world’s best golfers already in the area after last week’s Masters, most are making the short drive south from Augusta, Georgia, to Hilton Head, South Carolina, and Harbour Town Golf Links, one of the many Pete Dye-design tracks on Tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Harbour Town couldn’t be further from last week’s walk around Augusta National. It’s often described as quirky and suffocating, with narrow sightlines when standing on the tee box. Another Pete Dye design staple is the forced layups and doglegs to minimize distance and reward accuracy. But don’t think of it as binary “yes\/no” accuracy in terms of fairways hit. Harbour Town requires accuracy within the fairway, as poorly positioned drives make for impossible second shots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
