Hole 15 at Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town is a par 5 that stretches to a challenging distance of 571 yards from the championship tees. The hole features a slight dogleg left and has a handicap rating of 6, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.

Off the tee, players should aim for the right side of the fairway in order to avoid any potential trouble on the left. With an average drive of around 217 yards, most golfers will have plenty of room to work with before reaching any hazards.

As players approach their second shot, they will need to carefully consider their options as this hole can be deceivingly tricky. While there are only six bunkers scattered throughout this hole, greenside bunkers make up just two percent of total bunker coverage. This means that while players may not see many bunkers near the green, they must still take care not to end up in one.

The green itself is relatively large at approximately 7216 square feet and offers some undulation which adds another layer of challenge for those attempting to reach it in regulation. With water coming into play along both sides of the fairway leading up to and surrounding parts of the green complex, accuracy becomes crucial when approaching this hole.

In terms of club selection, utilizing a driver off the tee should give most golfers enough distance to set themselves up well for their second shot towards this lengthy par-5. Depending on individual skill level and playing conditions such as wind or temperature changes throughout each season at Hilton Head Island's Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town course; using either a long iron or hybrid club could prove beneficial in setting up an ideal approach yardage between approximately ~140 yards (7 iron) down through ~120 yards (pitching wedge). Overall though; keeping shots accurate rather than trying too hard for extra length here is typically going to be more important due mainly to the water hazards in play.
