About
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.

First trip to St Simons
Sea Palms was recommended at my home course as a course in good condition on St Simons. The fairways were in good condition and the greens were rolling fast after a club championship. I was paired up with three guys who were long time friends. We played a twilight round, finishing in 4 hours. It was a fun, entertaining group on a course that played fair from the red tees, for me.
Great course perfectly located on the Island
A bit pricey but affordable with Golf Now discount.
Great value
The question I ask myself after a round at a new place is this: Could I play here everyday and be happy? And to this course, I would answer yes. It’s a straightforward layout with excellent conditioning. The par 3’s require some well struck middle irons and the par 5’s require some strategy.
If you can play it for less than $100, then definitely do so.
Sea Palms
Course is a fairly wide open resort course, sparse Bermuda rough, fairways not over seeded, most holes straight or mild dog leg between houses. No driving range. Played King and Prince twice before this one, much nicer course with spectacular 4 holes in the marsh on the back nine.
At least the course was good
I give this place a 5/10.
Pros:
The course was in good shape.
Finished playing 30 min ahead of pace.
Carts were clean and digital display was nice
Cons:
Outside staff wasn’t around upon arrival and not helpful
No beverage cart
Driving range is located across the street from the 3rd hole (currently “under repairs”)
Lack of signage between certain holes on the course
