About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 71
Length 6608 yards
Slope 130
Rating 71.8

Sea Palms Golf and Tennis Resort offers 27 holes of golf that are interlaced with the stands of majestic live oaks that form ribbons across the landscape. The holes are divided into three nines that are played in different 18-hole combinations. Named after the densely forested landscape, the Tall Pines/Great Oaks combination will test your accuracy. In addition to the trees, sparkling blue lagoons are situated throughout the course and they provide more than just scenic respite. Golfers should be prepared for some tricky forced carries. There are some challenging holes at Sea Palms but overall, its playability is what makes it popular amongst all skill levels. There is also a practice area with a driving range and chipping and putting greens.

Great layout

Needs turf/grass growth around all edges of fairways and into the rough. Outer edges off fairway and somewhat into the fairways need maturer and seeded grass to grow.

The base around the fairways is more dirt, sand, and mud, with little grass tuffs that give away when swinging. Greens are good, as well as bunkers. Maintenance work around clubhouse limits its directional access.

Fun course!

Lack of a practice range is a huge disadvantage . Some cart paths need work.

Pace of play

They need the occasional ranger riding the course. We waited every hole for the “slow” group ( two groups in front of us) to finish and clear the hole. We were paired with 2 other players and the round took over 4.5 hours. A “good “ ranger would have moved these people along. or had them skip a hole…

It was a beautiful course on a beautiful day!

The work they have done on this course is amazing!! I do wish there were less sand traps.....seems I was in them all the time. We didn't receive much course info before we teed off. Had to call clubhouse for bathroom code.

Weren't made aware of pin placement. But was more than an enjoyable day with fabulous friends.

nice time but ugly weather

first 8 holes went fine then the rain and wind started. But me and my new friend were troopers and played all 18 I came out alone and they set me up with a young man who was surprised to have an older lady as a partner but we had a good time and I think he decided it wasnt so bad playing golf with a female. He was a nice golfer and glad i met him

Sea Palms in good shape and great greens

Our foursome all agreed that Sea Palms was a great course to play. The greens are in really good shape and we like the overall course layout and condition.
