Golf Courses

The Retreat
Sea Island Touring Professional Davis Love III and his brother Mark redesigned Retreat in 2001. Carefully blending players’ preferences from the earlier design, as well as devoting close personal attention, the brothers created an original design that is very playable and interesting. The Love brothers added 300 yards of length to give Retreat an open feeling with a lower profile.
The course is defined by pine trees and bunkers but allows players to swing freely for the target. Davis Love III changed the way the course plays so that everyone might enjoy the game as much as he does.

Seaside Course
Seaside is an ocean-side links course that combines its beautiful natural setting with a golf course that is both challenging and fun.
The beautifully manicured fairways and greens are bordered by sweeping dunes mixed with native grasses, wildflowers, and bunkers.
The wind creates a different golf experience daily. Sea Island’s most dramatic layout, Seaside is routinely ranked among the top 100 courses in the United States.

Plantation Course
Inspired by the traditional profile of Walter Travis’ 1928 original nine-hole course, the new Plantation Course has reopened after a complete redesign by Davis and Mark Love of Love Golf Design. It’s truly been a labor of love – a vision and an on-going conversation between brothers who have transformed the course they grew up playing more times than they can count. You’ll now find the Principal’s Nose on #10 green along with phenomenal views of the ocean.
