Golf Courses
Sea Island boasts three distinctive championship layouts, each with its own character and challenge.
- Seaside Course – A historic ocean-side links originally designed by Colt & Alison in 1929 and updated by Tom Fazio. Framed by tidal creeks, salt marshes, and Atlantic views, this course annually hosts the PGA TOUR’s RSM Classic and is ranked as the 6th best golf course in Georgia by Top 100 Golf Courses. Standout holes include the dramatic par-3 13th and the demanding par-4 17th.
- Plantation Course – Redesigned by Rees Jones and the Love brothers, this coastal parkland blends wide fairways with scenic ocean views and mature trees. Ranked as the 25th best golf course in Georgia by Golf Digest, and a host of the RSM Classic, it features a memorable finishing stretch, highlighted by the risk-reward par-5 18th.
- Retreat Course – Crafted by Davis Love III and Mark Love in 2001, Retreat offers generous fairways, strategic bunkering, and approachable playability, making it ideal for a warm-up round. Its signature par-4 6th is short, tricky, and full of character.
