Yes, it's true.  The links at Harbour Town rank a stunning #2 on the list!!!!   

The Golf World Survey says....

“My favorite Pete Dye course” and the “best course we play” were common

statements for this PGA Tour mainstay because of its “great shot

values.” Opened in 1969 by Dye in his more restrained days and with

design assistance from Jack Nicklaus, “every shot requires something”

at this short-by-modern-standards course. Harbour Town proves

architects “don’t need length for a great golf course,” and “it’s not 7,600

yards—you have to hit golf shots there.” Another, on the 3,700 squarefoot

greens: “It’s a 10 because of great greens.” However, the towering

pines lining this idyllic resort course are not as beloved: “It’s OK, but they

need to lose trees.” Another found them less annoying, but still a reason

to downgrade the 6,973-yard design: “Really good course to play,” he

said, noting that the “overhanging trees are frustrating at times.” Most

players, however, love Harbour Town because “you have to shape the ball

on almost every hole.”
