Caddie Information

Make it your most memorable round.

More than someone who carries your clubs (although there’s that, too). Walking the course with a caddie is like a friend showing you around. A coach, strategist, and course tour guide all in one. Your trusty companion who helps you shake off a bad shot. An expert guide who not only knows the natural beauty, history, and maybe a few stories about Sea Island golf, but one that knows the distinct layouts and challenges of each course and can give you advice on play, club selection, strategy for taking on the hole. An app can’t calculate the effect of wind, elevation changes, or texture of the grass. But a good caddie can. It’s your ace in the hole. So slow down, take your time, and appreciate the beauty of the course alongside a caddie. You’ll not only improve your game, you’ll have the most fun, memorable round of your stay.
