Plaid jackets and a lighthouse finish, the week after Augusta.
The 59th RBC Heritage, presented by Boeing, is played at Harbour Town Golf Links in The Sea Pines Resort from 12 to 18 April 2027. Monday is closed to spectators, Tuesday brings a practice round and the opening ceremonies, Wednesday is the pro-am, and the four rounds run from Thursday 15 to Sunday 18 April. It falls the week after the Masters, and it is one of the PGA TOUR’s Signature Events: a limited field, no cut and a US$20 million purse. Matt Fitzpatrick defends the title he won in a playoff with Scottie Scheffler in April 2026, his second Heritage win in four years. Compared with a major, tickets are the easy part. The harder parts are a bed on a busy island and getting in and out of a gated resort that has no spectator parking.
Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster, linked from rbcheritage.com, and went on sale in early October 2026. A Grounds Ticket costs US$100 a day from Thursday to Sunday and covers the course, the public bleachers and the Heritage Lawn. Practice Round Tickets for Tuesday or Wednesday cost US$25, and the Grounds Package, one ticket for every day from Tuesday to Sunday, is US$400. Hospitality venues open Thursday to Sunday: the Heritage Lawn Club from US$250, Doc’s BBQ at 15 from US$400, the two-storey Lighthouse Club skybox on the 18th green from US$500, and the all-inclusive Calibogue Club from US$600. The Ultimate Patron Pass, from US$1,500 a day, covers the Calibogue Club, the Lighthouse Club and Doc’s BBQ. Children aged 15 and under enter the grounds free with a ticketed adult. Serving and former military personnel can claim two free practice-day tickets and 20% off up to two daily grounds tickets.
Because daily tickets are still on general sale, a package here is mostly about the room. Golfbreaks lists RBC Heritage 2027 packages from US$1,399, with taxes and resort fees included. Its Weekend Package is three nights, room only, at The Westin Hilton Head Island, arriving on Friday 16 April and leaving on Monday 19 April, with tournament tickets for Saturday and Sunday. Extra nights, more tournament days, rounds of golf, flights and car hire can be added, and hospitality is offered as an upgrade. For a longer trip, the operator’s South Carolina tour spends five nights on Hilton Head before moving north to Kiawah Island and the Ocean Course. Before you pay, check whether a quoted price is per person or per room, and whether the tickets are grounds or hospitality.

The Inn & Club at Harbour Town, a 60-room boutique hotel a few minutes’ walk from the first tee, is as close as you can sleep, and Sea Pines villas and private homes put you inside the gates within cycling distance of the course. That matters this week. There is no general spectator parking inside Sea Pines, but cyclists with a digital ticket can ride in through the Ocean Gate or the Main Gate to free bike parking at the tennis courts by the clubhouse and beside the 13th green. E-bikes are banned inside Sea Pines. Mid-island, the Westin at Port Royal and the Omni at Palmetto Dunes have more rooms; from there you drive to a shuttle car park or book a ride. Savannah, about an hour away, widens the choice at the cost of the bridges each morning.
Savannah/Hilton Head International (SAV) is the main gateway, about an hour by road onto the island and south to Sea Pines. Hilton Head Island Airport (HHH), at the north end of the island, is closer but has fewer flights. Parking is free but outside Sea Pines. Spectators park at Honey Horn, home of the Coastal Discovery Museum, and take a motor coach to Harbour Town Marina, a ride of about 20 minutes, from 6.30 am to 9.30 pm Tuesday to Sunday. A second free shuttle runs from the Coligny Beach car park to the Liberty Oak Lawn over the same hours, first come, first served. Rideshare and taxis use The Shops at Sea Pines Center during play. Bags that are not allowed on the course can be left at Bag Check in the clubhouse car park.
Harbour Town is given over to the tournament this week, so play it on another trip. Outside the Heritage, the public can book up to 90 days ahead through Sea Pines, and resort guests further out. Sea Pines uses dynamic pricing with no published rack rate, and every group takes one forecaddie, with a suggested minimum tip of US$50 a player. The course reopened in November 2025 after a six-month restoration and plays 7,131 yards, par 71, from the Heritage tees. If you want a championship round in the same week, the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island is about two and a half hours north: non-guests book up to 60 days ahead by phone or online, mid-March to mid-May is its busiest spell, and it is walking only in April. Sea Island, south of Savannah in Georgia, is for resort guests on a three-night minimum package.
Tournament week runs from Monday 12 to Sunday 18 April 2027 at Harbour Town Golf Links. Monday is closed to spectators, Tuesday 13 April has a practice round and the opening ceremonies, Wednesday 14 April is the pro-am, and the four rounds are Thursday 15 to Sunday 18 April.
A daily Grounds Ticket for Thursday to Sunday is US$100, a Tuesday or Wednesday practice ticket US$25, and the six-day Grounds Package US$400. Hospitality runs from US$250 to US$1,500 a day. For ticket questions, the Heritage Classic Foundation answers on (843) 671-2448 or at tickets@heritageclassicfoundation.com.
Free at Honey Horn or the Coligny Beach car park, with shuttles into Sea Pines; there is no general spectator parking inside the resort. Accessible spaces sit near the Honey Horn loading area for cars showing a disabled placard, and accessible buses run until 7 pm to Lighthouse Road and Plantation Drive.
No. The course is set up for the tournament. On other weeks it is cart path only all year, and if you want to walk with a caddie rather than a forecaddie, ask when you book; Sea Pines suggests a minimum gratuity of US$125 for a walking caddie.
