Hole 12 at Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town is a challenging par 4 that requires strategic thinking and precision shots. From the championship tees, this hole measures 430 yards and has a handicap of 8, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.
The tee shot on this hole is crucial as it sets up the approach to a well-guarded green. With an average drive distance of 217 yards, using a driver may be too risky as there are only about 18 yards of fairway width to land in. A safer option would be to use a long iron or hybrid off the tee to ensure accuracy and avoid any potential hazards.
As you make your way down the fairway, you will encounter a slight dogleg right that may require some careful planning for your approach shot. The green area measures at around 7400 square feet, which provides enough space for error but also presents its own challenges with subtle undulations.
With only two bunkers on this hole and greenside bunkers accounting for just 4% of total bunker coverage, avoiding them should not be too difficult with proper club selection. However, keep in mind that these bunkers are strategically placed near the front left and back right corners of the green which could come into play depending on pin placement.
Local weather conditions can greatly impact how this hole plays throughout each season. In warmer months with high humidity and low wind speeds typical in Hilton Head Island, expect longer ball flights due to less resistance from air density. In cooler months with lower temperatures and higher wind speeds common in South Carolina's winter season, anticipate shorter ball flights requiring additional club selections.
Overall, Hole 12 at Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town demands accuracy off the tee followed by precise approaches to navigate its tricky layout successfully. With proper strategy and execution along with adjustments based on seasonal weather conditions expected throughout each round played here; golfers of all skill levels can find success on this challenging par 4.
