The plan for No. 15
The 15th at Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town is a 571.0-yard par 5 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
Focus on finding the center of the fairway with your most reliable club off the tee. While driver may be tempting on this long par 5, accuracy should take precedence over distance. A well-struck 3-wood or hybrid that finds the fairway center leaves you in perfect position for your second shot. The straight layout means you can be aggressive with your target line down the middle, but avoid any tendency to overswing in pursuit of extra distance.
Approach & recovery
Your second shot strategy depends entirely on your position after the tee shot. Most players will be laying up to their preferred wedge distance, typically leaving 80-120 yards to the pin. Choose a landing zone that gives you a full swing with your most comfortable scoring club. If you're long enough to reach in two, the small green size makes this a high-risk proposition - consider whether the potential eagle is worth the risk of missing the green entirely.
On the green
The small green at Harbour Town's 15th demands precise distance control on your approach. Focus on hitting your target distance rather than trying to get cute with pin hunting. Once on the green, read putts carefully as subtle breaks can be deceiving on the smaller surface. Lag putting becomes crucial here - leaving yourself a manageable second putt is more important than aggressive birdie attempts from long range.
