Having played about three dozen Pete Dye courses, I'd happily place Harbour Town in the top 3-4, not least because of what a revolution it was in 1970. Nicklaus made a few visits, but there's actually a lot of Alice Dye in there, including the 13th hole, whose green is her design.
Small, simple greens. There appears to be nothing to this golf course, esp. since it starts disarmingly and doesn't really get going until the 8th tee. Then all hell breaks looose slowly, and it has about the best six finishing hoes in all of golf, though I do think Dye got carried away with those deep asshole pot bunkers on 14 (back), 17 (right side) and 18 (rear).
Condos only impinge on 18 - I know, having knocked a window real hard owing to a cross-wind and serious bail-out on a tee shot there last month. But the sequence coming in is amazing.
Yeah it's overgrown. But that creates the angles of approach off tees and into greens. The bigger issue is that the course is wildly overplayed - about 60,000 rounds annually. And overpriced. Even with the tree trimming a year ago, it needs some pruning. But I'll take its angles anyday, and still think it amazingly strong for its strategy.
The next day I played Chechessee and was stunned by how repetitive its greens were by comparison. The pros happen to love Harbour Town, too. Takes brains and shot-making, which are both in much demand on Tour these days.
