Harbour Town is one of the most well-kept golf courses you will ever play. It’s fairways, bunkers, greens and tee’s look like nobody but you, has played there in months. So why not enjoy the quality and play where the pro’s play, enjoy the architectural design by the late Pete Dye and his partner on Harbour Town, Jack Nicklaus.
