The plan for No. 6
The 6th at Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town is a 419.0-yard par 4 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
The key to success starts with an intelligent tee shot that prioritizes position over distance. Most golfers should focus on finding the center of the fairway with a controlled swing, leaving themselves in the 120-150 yard range for their approach. Longer hitters might consider a 3-wood or hybrid to ensure they stay in the prime landing zone, as being too aggressive can leave awkward yardages or challenging lies. The straight layout allows for a confident swing down the middle, but pay attention to wind conditions that could affect both your tee shot and subsequent approach. Position yourself to attack from the center of the fairway rather than trying to gain every possible yard.
Approach & recovery
With the small green as your target, club selection becomes critical. The approach shot is where this hole is won or lost. Take one extra club and swing smoothly rather than trying to muscle a shorter iron. The small green leaves little margin for error, so prioritize hitting the putting surface over getting close to tucked pins. When the pin is positioned toward the edges of the green, aim for the center and rely on your putting rather than risking a miss that could leave a difficult up-and-down. The green's size means that even a 30-foot putt is preferable to chipping from off the surface.
On the green
The small green typically features subtle breaks that can be deceptive. Take time to read the entire putting surface, as the limited real estate means every putt is makeable with proper pace control. Focus on lagging longer putts to the center of the cup rather than being aggressive, as three-putts can quickly turn a scoring opportunity into a bogey. Pay particular attention to grain direction, which is common on Hilton Head's coastal grasses, and factor in any afternoon wind that might affect longer putts.
