World-Class Elegance Persists at Sea Island in 2019 (Sponsored)
Sea Island Resort, nestled on the southeastern coast of Georgia, is renowned for its luxurious offerings and rich history. The resort, which has held four Five-Star Experiences for ten consecutive years, is the only resort in the world to achieve this feat.
The latest major enhancement at Sea Island involves a significant renovation project at the Ocean Forest Golf Club, one of the resort's three championship golf courses. Led by renowned golf course designer Beau Welling, the project aims to refine the existing design, emphasizing the course's distinctive natural setting while improving playability and visual appeal.
This renovation is part of a broader trend across the Sea Islands region, where many resorts are upgrading golf courses and facilities to capitalize on the post-pandemic surge in golf interest and the growth of nearby Southeastern cities.
Beyond the Ocean Forest Golf Club, the nearby King and Prince Golf Club on St. Simons Island is undergoing its own comprehensive renovation under Beau Welling’s leadership. This includes dynamic design updates, reimagined practice areas, and a planned clubhouse transformation. The King and Prince Golf Club is transitioning from a public resort to a fully private membership model by mid-2026, aiming to elevate the overall member experience with best-in-class amenities.
Sea Island Resort, since its establishment in 1928, has been a popular destination known for its exceptional service and heartfelt hospitality. It attracts families, outdoor enthusiasts, and those seeking relaxation. The resort provides a variety of amenities, including a beach club, tennis center, yacht club, shooting school, children's programs, and an 18-hole putting course called Driftwood.
Early 2019 will see the debut of a new, 17,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art Golf Performance Center at Sea Island. The resort also offers The Cloister at Sea Island, The Lodge at Sea Island, and The Spa at Sea Island, all of which are Forbes Five-Star Experiences.
Sea Island has a long history of hosting conferences and executive retreats, as well as the G8 Summit, making it the only US resort to have hosted such a gathering of world leaders. For more information about Sea Island, visit SeaIsland.com. Contact Ben Wambaugh at 912.638.5828 for more details.
