Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town Hole by Hole - 17th Hole

Welcome to the 17th hole at Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina! This par 3 is a true test of accuracy and strategy. From the championship tees, this hole measures 185 yards with a handicap of 14. But don't let that fool you, as this hole can play even more difficult depending on weather conditions.

Speaking of weather, let's take a look at how it may impact your shot on this hole. With an average altitude and temperature year-round, you won't have to worry about any major changes in ball flight conditions due to elevation or temperature. However, keep an eye out for strong winds coming off the nearby Atlantic Ocean which could affect your club selection and aim.

Now onto the tee shot. Based on our inferred data and statistics for this course, we recommend using a driver from the tee if you typically hit around 217 yards with it. This will leave you with a comfortable distance for your approach shot.

As for your approach shot, precision is key here as there is only one bunker guarding the green which covers approximately 14% of its total area. Make sure to factor in wind direction when choosing your club as well as aiming slightly left towards the center of the green to avoid water hazards on both sides.

For those playing from shorter tees such as pro or men's tees (174 yards and 152 yards respectively), we suggest using a long iron or hybrid off the tee followed by another accurate iron shot towards the center of the green.

Ladies playing from their designated tees (130 yards) should use either a fairway wood or long iron off the tee followed by an accurate short iron towards the middle of green.

No matter which set of tees you're playing from, make sure to stay focused and execute each shot strategically in order to conquer this challenging par 3 at Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town. Good luck!
