Heron Point by Pete Dye
Dye resort / Lowcountry
Heron Point gives the Sea Pines roster more bite. It is not Harbour Town, but it is a real round and a useful test.

Great course. Was my second time playing it. Perfect weather. Saw tons of gators sunning themselves by the lagoons. Really love the courses in Seapines. Practice area is awesome. Great food at Frazier's after the round. Highly recommend this course and Atlantic Dunes.
