The plan for No. 12
The 12th at Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town is a 430.0-yard par 4 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
The key to success starts with an aggressive but controlled tee shot. With no significant hazards to navigate, focus on maximizing distance while maintaining accuracy to set up the best possible approach angle. Driver is the preferred club for most players, aiming down the center of the fairway to leave a manageable approach distance. The straight layout rewards bold tee shots, but ensure your swing is under control - a wayward drive into the rough will complicate the approach to the small green significantly.
Approach & recovery
The approach shot is where this hole shows its teeth. With a small green as your target, precision trumps power. Depending on your tee shot distance, you'll likely face a mid-iron to long-iron approach. Take one extra club and swing smoothly rather than forcing a shot - the compact green demands accurate distance control. Focus on the center of the green regardless of pin position, as the small target leaves little margin for error. Pay attention to wind conditions, as they'll have a magnified effect on approach shots to such a precise target.
On the green
The small putting surface requires careful speed control and precise line reading. With limited green space, most putts will be relatively straight, but don't underestimate subtle breaks that can affect shorter putts. Focus on lag putting to the center of the green when facing longer putts, as three-putting from the fringe or rough is a real possibility. Pin positions on the edges of this small green create particularly challenging scenarios - when the flag is tucked, aim for the fat part of the green.
