Welcome to Hole 3 at Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town in beautiful Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. This challenging par 4 is known for its slight dogleg left and strategically placed bunkers that will test your accuracy off the tee.
From the "championship" tees, this hole measures a lengthy 437 yards and has a handicap of 15. However, don't let that intimidate you as there are ways to navigate this hole with smart club selection and course strategy.
For your tee shot, we recommend using a driver which should travel around 217 yards for an average golfer. Keep in mind that local weather conditions may impact ball flight so be sure to adjust accordingly. The fairway width is approximately 26 yards so aim for the center of the fairway to avoid any trouble on either side.
As you approach the green, take note of the five bunkers strategically placed throughout this hole. While only four percent of these bunkers are greenside, they can still come into play if not careful with your approach shot.
Speaking of approach shots, our recommendation from these tees would be a mid-iron such as a 7 iron which should carry about 140 yards or even a pitching wedge if needed for distance control at around 120 yards.
At just under two acres in size (7984 sq ft), this green provides ample space but also features some subtle undulations that can make putting tricky. Take time to read your putt carefully before making your stroke.
Overall, Hole #3 at Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town offers both challenge and beauty as you make your way through one of golf's most iconic courses. Good luck!
