Which South Carolina course hosts the PGA Tour's RBC Heritage?

The story behind the answer

Which South Carolina course hosts the PGA Tour’s RBC Heritage? Harbour Town Golf Links is the event’s home.

The course sits at the Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island and has hosted the tournament since the RBC Heritage began as the Heritage Golf Classic in 1969. Harbour Town was designed by Pete Dye with assistance from Jack Nicklaus, whose input helped shape its strategic layout and distinctive seaside character.

Unlike many modern PGA Tour venues, Harbour Town is not especially long. Its challenge comes from narrow fairways, small greens, overhanging live oaks and pines, and hazards that punish imprecise positioning. The 18th hole finishes beside Calibogue Sound, with the red-and-white Harbour Town lighthouse providing one of golf’s most recognizable backdrops.

The tournament has changed names and sponsors over the decades, but its principal venue has remained Harbour Town. Arnold Palmer won the inaugural 1969 event, while the course’s co-designer Nicklaus won in 1975. Sea Island Golf Club, Pinehurst No. 2 and Kiawah Island are also notable South Carolina venues, but they do not host the RBC Heritage.
