Tee off on the Seaside Course — updated in 1999 by Tom Fazio and prominently placed on Golf Digest’s list of “Top 100 Courses in the United States.” The Plantation Course unfolds among a forest of ancient live oak and cedar, with a hint of danger lurking in its tidal creeks and lakes. Select from world-class Coastal Georgia golf courses, including:

  • Seaside Course — Situated on the southern tip of St. Simons, this true oceanside links course places a premium on careful shot selection, recovery, and putting. Offering Sea Island’s most demanding layout, Seaside has hosted multiple USGA events, challenging golf’s best amateur players.  Seaside will again serve as the host venue for the PGA TOUR’s McGladrey Classic, set for October 10-16, 2011.
  • Plantation Course — Boasts expansive fairways that give definition to this parklands-type course, winding through the marsh and forest. Showcases beautiful views of the ocean, oaks, and blooming flowers – enticing the accomplished and inviting the novice.
