Hey fellow golf enthusiasts! Have you had the pleasure of teeing off at the Seaside Course at Sea Island Golf Club yet? If not, let me take you through what makes this course a gem on the Georgia coast. Picture this: a links-style layout where each swing opens up vistas of marshland and the vast ocean. It’s a stunner!
The Seaside Course, originally crafted by the legendary duo Harry S. Colt and Charles Alison back in 1929, got a fabulous makeover by Tom Fazio in 1999. This blend of classic and contemporary design elements makes playing here a unique challenge. Take hole number 4, for example—a beautiful yet tricky par-4 where the ocean breeze and strategic bunkering demand your best game strategy.
And if it’s your first time here, remember, the wind is not just a breeze; it’s a significant player. Choosing the right club can make all the difference, especially with the firm, fast greens calling for precision over power.
Hosting the annual RSM Classic, this course isn’t just about leisure; it's where pros play. So, whether you're aiming to improve your handicap or just soak in the scenic beauty, Seaside at Sea Island offers an unforgettable golfing experience. See you on the greens!
