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.

“Fair course that offers reasonable variety in shot options and layout design. Good variety of length in the holes. The greens were quite large and some with a significant amount of elevation change, enabling multiple pin locations that could be very challenging or quite approachable."

“Classic Hilton head with marshes and long bunkers. Greens rolled great. Solid course and good variety indicative of Dye with shot options and good challenges for a resort course."

“Heron Point is a very worthwhile visit at the Sea Pines Resort. While much wider than Harbour Town, it still has plenty of Pete Dye challenge and the 7th is a gentler version of Harbor Town's 13th. The resort got this one right when Pete Dye redid the old Sea Marsh course!"

“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."
