Stripped down to its roots, Dye reshaped the old fairways into dramatic angles and shifting elevations (yes, there are even blind uphill approaches to a couple of greens).
While featuring seven sets of tees including a special set of permanent tees for family enjoyment, Heron Point by Pete Dye also has a set of sharp teeth, with its rolling fairways and undulating Mini Verde greens (ala TPC Sawgrass), bunkers you'll occasionally drive your cart through and relocated lagoons, moved to catch the errant shot. You'll also notice how much the course has been opened up, with more greens in the open sunshine and more amazing views of the forests and marshlands that make up The Sea Pines Resort.
Dye's done it, again. Creating a new legend among Hilton Head Island golf courses and a perfect complement to Harbour Town. Play them both and see for yourself.
