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.

DO not waist your time at the range

Everything thing was fine... course layout was fun ...the practice facility is one of the worse i have ever seen and they charge $15 for a bucket of 25 balls. The range is short and surrounded by nets and you hit off of dirt divits.. no grass to be found.

Great Course

This was a beautiful course and would hands down recommend… Con’s we’re the drink cart stopped at 4pm and they our tee time was at 3.10 so we never saw anyone. Last tee time was around 6 so they should have someone or somebody there till atleast last tee off. Also golf staff was not friendly at all which was a complete let down when I think of a resort and southern hospitality. We walked in once the day before and no one greeted us or asked if we needed anything. Next day we needed to add a player and called and they had already paired my husband with someone else so they gave a huff about that. But the course makes up for the staff
