Plan Your Sea Island / St. Simons Golf Trip in 60 Seconds

Three courses of elite resort golf on the Georgia coast

Sea Island is one of America's premier golf resorts with three championship courses, including Seaside and Plantation, both designed by Rees Jones and Tom Fazio. The RSM Classic PGA Tour event calls it home. St. Simons Island next door adds craft breweries, seafood joints, and a more casual vibe for the off-course hours.
