Seaside Course

A stunning classic.

Sea Island’s most dramatic layout, Seaside is routinely ranked among the top 100 courses in the United States. Beautifully manicured fairways and greens, sweeping dunes mixed with native grasses, wildflowers, and bunkers. And a wind that creates a different golf experience daily. Seaside is an ocean-side links course that combines a beautiful natural setting with a golf course that is both challenging and fun. It’s tough to have a bad day on a course like this.

A Tom Fazio re-design of the 1929 classic by famous golf course architects Harry S. Colt and Charles Alison, today’s course ties the original Seaside with the old Marshside course, transforming two nines from “18 holes that didn’t match into 18 matchless holes,” according to Sea Island touring professional Davis Love III. Along with the Plantation Course, it is the home of the PGA TOUR’s RSM Classic, a FedEx cup event hosted by Love.

As Seaside nears its 25th anniversary in 2026, a thoughtful restoration will soon be underway to honor its legacy as a premier Tom Fazio design. Led by Love Golf Design and executed by MacCurrach Golf Course Construction, the project will preserve the course’s original character while introducing some enhancements. The course will be closed July 7-August 4, 2025 and May 4-October 2026 to complete this work.

Golf History

Golf has been an important part of the Sea Island experience from the beginning.

Plantation opened as a nine-hole course in 1928, in the days when resort guests were accommodated on a nearby floating hotel, the Amphitrite, because The Cloister did not open until October of that year.

Since then, records have been set, championships have been hosted, and top touring professionals have been lured to Sea Island’s glorious setting.

But it’s the community atmosphere and the fun had out on our courses that we’re most proud of.
