Hole 4 at Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town is a challenging par 3 that requires both accuracy and distance control. From the championship tees, this hole measures 200 yards and has a handicap of 11, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course. The tee shot must carry over water to reach the green, which adds an extra layer of difficulty.
In addition to the water hazard, there are two bunkers strategically placed around the green. These greenside bunkers make up only 6% of the total area but can be costly if your ball finds its way into them. To successfully navigate this hole, golfers should aim for the center or left side of the green to avoid these hazards.
The weather conditions at Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town can also play a factor in how you approach this hole. In warmer temperatures with low wind speeds, players may be able to use their driver off the tee for added distance. However, in cooler temperatures or with strong winds against them, using a long iron or hybrid club may be a better option.
For average golfers hitting distances similar to those listed above (driver ~217 yards), I would recommend using either a long iron or hybrid club off the tee and aiming for slightly left of center on this challenging par 3. This will help avoid any potential hazards while still giving you enough distance to reach and hopefully land safely on this large green measuring at approximately 6602 sq ft.
Overall, Hole 4 at Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town is not one to take lightly and requires careful strategy and execution from both amateur and professional players alike.

Club Recommendations
Some additional tips for approaching this hole:
1. Take note of the wind direction and strength before teeing off. Adjust your aim accordingly to account for any potential changes in ball flight.
2. Consider using a lower lofted club (such as a 3 or 4 iron) if you struggle with controlling the height of your shots. This will help keep the ball low and reduce the chances of it getting caught in the wind.
3. Pay attention to pin placement on the green. If it is tucked behind one of the bunkers, play more conservatively and aim for the center rather than trying to go for a risky shot at the flag.
4. Practice hitting from different lies, such as uphill or downhill, to prepare yourself for potential challenges on this hole.
5. Visualize your shot before stepping up to address it, taking into consideration any hazards and how you want your ball to land on the green.
Remember that accuracy is key on this challenging par 3 - don't be afraid to sacrifice some distance in order to hit a safer shot that avoids trouble spots around the green.
