Overview
With the goal of making the course more playable for an average golfer, Pete Dye modified this Hilton Head course by adding several tee boxes and enlarging a handful of the greens. However, Heron Point still maintains a tough test with its risk-reward holes, Dye-signature mounding and water-guarded greens. Additionally, the Sea Pines resort course conserves and protects its natural landscape, which led to its certification as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.

Review
“This Pete Dye design offers dramatic angles, undulating green complexes that will challenge every club in your bag. In typical Dye fashion, you are required to be precise off the tee in order to have the proper angle into each green complex that is guarded by hazards. While it was challenging, there were plenty of getable holes making the round enjoyable from a playability standpoint. All and all it was a good time down in the low country."

“Excellent operation and a well-maintained course that is playable by all levels. A scenic walk, with the exception of adjacent housing, and plenty of wildlife to observe. Can’t go wrong here."

“Nice compliment to Dye's design at Harbour Town. Heron Point is also located in Sea Pines and shares a clubhouse with Atlantic Dunes. With larger greens and a little wider fairways this course is enjoyable for the high handicapper. Early January had a pretty open tee sheet and mid 60s weather."

“Atlantic Dunes’ sister course but not as good. Well worth the money."
