The plan for No. 13
The 13th at Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town is a 373.0-yard par 4 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
The key decision on the tee revolves around positioning for the optimal approach angle rather than maximum distance. Most players will benefit from a controlled tee shot that leaves a comfortable approach distance - typically a driver or strong 3-wood for longer hitters, or driver for shorter players who need the extra yardage. Target the center of the fairway with a slight preference toward whichever side offers the best angle to the day's pin position. With no major hazards to navigate, the primary concern is avoiding the rough and maintaining good lie quality for the approach shot. Conservative players might consider a 3-wood or hybrid to ensure accuracy, especially in windy conditions common to Hilton Head.
Approach & recovery
The small green demands precision on the approach shot, making club selection and target line critical. Depending on your tee shot distance, expect to hit anything from a short iron to a mid-iron into this green. The key is committing to the right club and swinging with confidence. Aim for the center of the green unless the pin is clearly accessible, as the small target leaves little margin for error. Pay attention to wind conditions, which can significantly affect club selection on this exposed coastal layout. When in doubt, take one more club and swing smoothly - short-sided misses around small greens are scoring killers.
On the green
Harbour Town's greens are known for their subtle breaks and firm conditions, and the 13th is no exception. The small putting surface means most approach shots should leave relatively short putts, but don't underestimate the challenge of reading these greens correctly. Focus on speed control above all else, as running putts past the hole on a small green often leaves difficult comeback attempts. The coastal winds can affect longer putts, so factor in conditions when reading break and determining pace.
