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 day!

Enjoy the course, nice layout and decent conditions. Friendly stuff. Still not to the level I was expected. Bumpy greens, spotty fairways and rough car path... still a wonderful experience! Thanks!

Poor Scheduling

Beautiful Day

Had Tee Time @ 2;30 PM

Used Monthly TEE Time Credit, so round was "Free"

Course overpriced

Course had tournament that day and was overbooked when tournament ended.

Discussed with staff and their response was " What did you expect.... we just had a tournament.

Was able to play 14 holes before it was dark at 6:30 PM

At times there were 4 foursomes on a hole at a time (4 on green, 4 in fairway, and 2 foursomes waiting

on box. NO MARSHAL in site

Course should not have tried to book so many tee times at end of a tournament with the knowledge of inability to provide full golf experience

Feel like I should have not been charged for 18 holes when they couldn't offer the same.
