Get ready for the 2026 RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links! From tickets and parking to what to wear, top players and family-friendly activities, this guide has everything you need to make the most of Hilton Head’s premier golf event.
Harbour Town Golf Links may be famous for its tight fairways and tiny greens, but ask any PGA Tour pro and they’ll tell you — it’s the weather that’s the real wild card.
