Brutal

The 4th hole at Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town presents a deceptively challenging 200-yard par 3 that epitomizes the strategic precision required at this legendary Pete Dye design. This mid-length one-shotter demands a confident tee shot to a small, well-protected green complex that punishes anything but the most accurate approach. The absence of major hazards might suggest an easier hole, but the compact target and Harbour Town's notorious coastal winds make club selection critical. Players must commit fully to their yardage, as the small green offers little margin for error. This hole perfectly captures the subtle brilliance that has made Harbour Town a PGA Tour staple for decades, where precision trumps power and strategic thinking separates champions from also-rans.
