Harbour Town Golf Links('69,Pete Dye&Jack Nicklaus) Renovation
« on: October 21, 2024, 10:29:36 AM »
Harbour Town Golf Links is readying for an extensive restoration project. The course will close on May 5, 2025, and will reopen in November.
Originally designed by Pete Dye, who was assisted by Jack Nicklaus, Harbour Town has been the home of the PGA Tour’s RBC Heritage event since it opened in 1969. The Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, course is currently ranked No. 27 among Golf Digest’s Top 100 Public Courses and is No. 5 on its list of Best Courses in South Carolina.

The iconic Dye creation will be restored to ensure championship-level conditions while preserving classic shot values and design. The restoration will thoughtfully consider Dye’s innovative layout but will make improvements to agronomy and maintenance of the course, rebuilding all greens, bunkers and bulkheads.

Will be very curious to see how this turns out and if any on here have any insight/educated opinions on this project. Only DLIII design I've been exposed to was Anderson Creek (NC) which I found to be a fairly unoffensive good/not great course as far as real-estate driven projects go.

Scot Sherman, Love Golf design’s lead architect, began his career with Pete Dye. So there is logic to this, even though, as is well known, Pete abhorred the idea of restoration
