2024 RBC Heritage: Harbour Town Golf Links
Par 71 – 7,213 Yards
This is a fun, short course that requires an incredible tee-to-green game to have success. The greens are some of the smallest on tour so scrambling will be a requirement as it was last week.
There are a couple of Par 5s where bombers can have an advantage, but it's much more important to land the ball on the correct side of the fairway off the tee than it is to bomb and pray.
The weather looks to be fantastic Thursday-Saturday with the chance of rain late on Sunday, but they will surely make sure the tournament gets finished before the bad weather moves in.
Accuracy off the tee and accuracy on approach shots will give players a chance to go low over four rounds, and I suspect someone will get to -18 this week as the winning score.
Favorite Holes
Hole 4 Par 3, 200 Yards
I love this tee shot as there is nothing but water to the left of the green, and the right side is a bail-out area. Players have to have the utmost confidence to go at the pin on this hole, especially the the pin is front left. It's a great Par 3.
Hole 8 Par 4, 475 Yards
The hardest hole on the course, this is a classic example of accuracy off the tee being crucial. Players must hit the right side of the fairway to have an angle into this green which has bunker and water to the left and a sharp runoff to the right.
Hole 15 Par 5, 585 Yards
This hole is really tough to reach in two, but the perfect length and placement of the drive will let a few guys have a chance to give it a shot. It's high risk though as water and bunkers surround the hole. Most will end up laying up, and then it becomes who can nail their wedges from 100 yards and less out on the third shot.
RBC Heritage Field
This is now an elevated event so the field looks somewhat similar to last week's field at the top with Scheffler, Aberg, Morikawa, Homa, and Schauffele playing among others.
It's a short field with an elevated purse so there will be no cut at the event.
