Georgia & Lowcountry Golf Art

Linda Hartough lives and works in the Lowcountry, and this region holds the largest share of her catalog. It gathers Augusta National with the coastal courses: Harbour Town on Hilton Head Island, Haig Point on Daufuskie, Secession near Beaufort and Sea Island on the Georgia coast.

The coast looks entirely different. The Lowcountry is flat land cut by tidal rivers, sounds and salt marsh, with live oaks draped in Spanish moss, palmettos and pines on the higher ground. Its golf courses are shaped by the water. At Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, Pete Dye's small greens sit under the oaks, and the 18th runs along Calibogue Sound toward the red-and-white lighthouse. Across the sound, on Daufuskie Island, Rees Jones's course at Haig Point is reached only by boat. Secession Golf Club, near Beaufort, sits on a peninsula in the marsh, where the tide changes the look of the course from one hour to the next. At Sea Island, on the Georgia coast, the Seaside Course plays across open, sandy ground beside St. Simons Sound.
