Sea Island occupies a peculiar and wonderful position in American golf: it is both a world-class resort destination and one of the most closely held private communities in the country. The golf club's three courses — Seaside, Plantation, and Retreat — reflect the landscape of Georgia's Golden Isles beautifully, routing through maritime forest, past tidal marshes, and along the Atlantic coastline with a grace that feels effortless.
Seaside is the star, hosting the RSM Classic on the PGA Tour each November. The Plantation Course provides a more parkland alternative through mature trees and Spanish moss-draped fairways, while Retreat offers a shorter, more relaxed routing ideal for a casual group afternoon. All three share the same excellent conditioning that makes Sea Island one of the most pristine golf experiences in the South.
Beyond the golf, The Cloister — Sea Island's legendary resort hotel — is one of the finest properties in the United States: impeccable service, butler-attended beach access, multiple dining rooms, and a spa that will make the non-golfers in your group deeply grateful for the trip. This is a golf trip that doubles as a luxury vacation, and it does both exceptionally well.
