Three sit within Sea Pines Resort, and the fourth anchors the Palmetto Dunes complex on the opposite side of the island.

DayHarbour Town Golf Links
The main event. Harbour Town Golf Links measures 7,099 yards from the Heritage tees with a slope of 147, and the tight, tree-lined corridors and small greens produce a round where every shot needs a plan.
3
DayHeron Point by Pete Dye
Heron Point by Pete Dye offers a different lens on Pete Dye's work at Sea Pines. Where Harbour Town is tight, precise, and punitive, Heron Point provides six sets of tees that accommodate a wider range of abilities and more generous corridors off the tee.

DayPalmetto Dunes - Robert Trent Jones Course
Drive to Palmetto Dunes for the trip's final round at Palmetto Dunes - Robert Trent Jones Course. Robert Trent Jones Sr.

Plan the Practicalities
Logistics
Sea Pines Resort serves as the home base for all four nights. The Inn & Club at Harbour Town ($300 to $500 per night) provides the most integrated experience, with preferred tee time access and proximity to the courses and marina. Sea Pines Resort (Villas & Homes) ($200 to $500 per night) offers more space and kitchen facilities, reducing per-person costs when split among a group. Three of the four rounds sit within the Sea Pines gates; only the Palmetto Dunes day requires driving across the island. A rental car is necessary for the airport transfer and the Palmetto Dunes round. The Daufuskie Island tour departs Shelter Cove Marina, which sits outside Sea Pines and does not require the $9 gate fee.
