About The Cloister at Sea Island - Retreat Course
The Retreat Course at Sea Island offers a distinctive and challenging golf experience, blending strategic design with the natural beauty of coastal Georgia. Originally designed by George Fazio, the course underwent a significant transformation in 2001 under the guidance of Davis Love III and his brother, Mark Love. Their vision was to create a modern links-style course that provides a fun and playable experience for golfers of all skill levels, while still posing a formidable test for professionals.
The course is characterized by its open, windswept fairways, large undulating greens, and strategically placed bunkers and water hazards. The design encourages creative shot-making and rewards thoughtful course management. Unlike its more traditional counterparts at Sea Island, the Retreat Course embraces a more contemporary aesthetic, with less tree-lined fairways and more expansive views, often evoking a feel reminiscent of classic European links.
Playing the Retreat Course is an engaging journey that demands precision and adaptability. The greens are a particular highlight, known for their subtle breaks and speed, requiring a deft touch with the putter. The course's versatility makes it a popular choice for both casual rounds and competitive tournaments, including its role as a host course for the RSM Classic, a PGA Tour event. It's a true testament to modern golf course architecture, offering a fresh perspective on coastal golf.
