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.

Great Greens
Love the greens. Rest of the course is wide open. Not much trouble. Kind of boring. Layout. Would I play again. I need a better challenge.
Course a little challenging
Greens were fast, course was well kept and the speed of play was on point. Would definitely play this course again. Weather was just right. Everyone extremely pleasant and helpful.
Better than expected!
Keeping it simple
Played all over the US and uK
For what you pay….This place is fantastic,
And importantly….drains well.
Will be back!
Fantastic Greens
The greens and turf at Sea Palms were in top shape. The greens are fantastic!
We will be back next trip to Georgia.
Fantastic Greens
Sea Palms is a great public course, and has fantastic greens and a well kept course in general.
I hope to play Sea Palms again next time visiting St. Simons Island.
Handicap system
Solid track with tough greens. Their electronic GPS system does not slow for a handicap version although their default setup is not terrible. Having said that with Afib I play more at King Prince than Sea Palm. Not open for breakfast and range is closed for a month. Resort with no range?? No good.
Nice Course
Nice course in great condition and very good pace of play. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I will come back often!!
Average
Staff was friendly and helpful. I played the day after heavy rain so conditions were as expected. Course is in good shape overall. Most holes have large open fairways. Greens rolled well.
I was warmly greeted at the bag drop by the cart staff and the starter. Both were very helpful with acclimating me to both where I needed to go and to all that was needed to know. The driving range is closed due to damage from a past storm, but there is a warmup net available for use. The course was a victim of torrential rainfall prior to my arrival and required that 5 holes be played as “Cart Path Only” (this does not include the par 3s, which are always under the Path Only rule). Due to the rainfall, it was obvious that the sand in the bunkers was too wet to groom with the machines: however, we did not see any standing water in them. Kudos to the maintenance staff for returning the course to an excellent playing condition! 1 star subtracted due to the demeanor of the Pro Shop appearing to be a little standoffish both at check-in and and when shopping post-round (not the reception that one would expect at a resort-maybe it was because the Georgia-Vanderbilt football game was on the TV and/or I wasn’t a resort guest?); however, no one was neither rude to me nor did anyone force me to wait when I made a purchase after my round. In conclusion, the 3-hour round-trip drive from Jacksonville FL was well worth it, and I will absolutely be returning to Sea Palms in the near future.
