About Sea Island Golf Club - Plantation Course
The Plantation Course at Sea Island Golf Club offers a truly memorable golfing experience, blending historical charm with modern design. Originally designed by Walter Travis in 1928, this classic layout underwent a significant renovation in 2019 by Davis Love III and his brother Mark Love, transforming it into a championship-caliber course that hosts a portion of the PGA TOUR's RSM Classic. The course is characterized by its wide fairways, strategic bunkering, and picturesque views of the St. Simons Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Playing the Plantation Course is a journey through a meticulously maintained landscape, where ancient live oaks draped in Spanish moss frame many holes. The Love brothers' redesign focused on enhancing playability for all skill levels while increasing the challenge for elite golfers. They introduced new green complexes, reshaped bunkers, and improved drainage, ensuring pristine conditions year-round. The course flows seamlessly, offering a mix of challenging long holes and strategic shorter ones, requiring thoughtful shot placement and a keen understanding of the coastal winds. The overall playing experience is one of refined Southern elegance. From the moment you step onto the first tee, you're enveloped in a sense of history and natural beauty. The course demands precision, especially around the greens, which are often subtly contoured. It's a course that rewards good course management and offers a delightful challenge for golfers looking for a top-tier resort golf experience with a rich heritage and stunning coastal vistas.

Tips for Playing Sea Island Golf Club - Plantation Course
When playing the Plantation Course, pay close attention to the wind, as it can be a significant factor given its coastal location. It's often helpful to play a club or even two more than you might typically, especially on approach shots to greens exposed to the sound. Also, utilize the practice facilities at Sea Island Golf Club, which are world-class, to dial in your short game before your round, as the greens can be subtly challenging. Consider taking a forecaddie if available; their local knowledge of breaks on the greens and optimal landing areas can be invaluable. Don't forget to take a moment to appreciate the stunning views, especially on the back nine. Finally, ensure you hydrate well, particularly during warmer months, and wear appropriate sun protection to fully enjoy this beautiful Lowcountry experience.
