No. 18 at Harbour Town Golf Links offers terrific theater — by design and accident

Most golf courses embrace a “signature hole,” one that offers both beauty and a challenge and one that members brag about. The golf-rich state of South Carolina offers one, too — the 18th at Harbour Town Golf Links that will be tackled by some of the game’s best players this week in the RBC Heritage.
But even those with no more than a passing interest in golf know about Harbour Town’s 18th, thanks to the backdrop provided by the candy-striped lighthouse and yacht-filled marina that provide direction to the tiny green that seems to jut into Calibogue Sound.
