Previously the Sea Marsh Course at the Sea Pines Resort, the course was re-designed by Pete Dye and is now called the Heron Point Golf Course. It is one of three 18-hole courses that the resort offers. It is also the second of two Pete Dye-designed courses at Sea Pines Resort, the other being the course he designed with Jack Nicklaus, the Harbor Town Golf Links.
Although built on flat land, the Heron Point course manages to have a surprising amount of undulation. The course has tree-lined fairways with sharp angles and water hazards come into play on many holes. The elevation changes and movement of the greens are the most challenging element on this course though.
