Welcome to CaddyBytes.com’s Tournament's page for the 2016 RBC Heritage golf tournament! The Heritage has been around since 1969 after Pete Dye built the tricky Harbour Town golf links on this now well know resort island. Arguably Pete Dye's best early work - the Harbour Town golf links were cut out of virgin intercostal terrain. Many of the golf holes are surrounded by their characteristic jet black brackish ponds and large dark 100 year old Spanish Oak trees. Add in the abundant gray Spanish Moss hanging from the oak trees, and white sandy soil against the backdrop of green fairways and greens, and you capture a Mystique reminiscent of Robert Trent Jone's west coast counterpart - the hilly Spyglass Hill golf club - though this one is flat as a pancake. The tournament is a pleasant break from all the pressure and hype of the Masters for the players and caddies and a home town holiday atmosphere will prevail all this week on Hilton Head Island. Arnold Palmer won the first Heritage Golf Classic in 1969. Other notable winners include Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Johnny Miller, & Payne Stewart. Jim Furyk defends. |
