About Sea Island: Seaside

This is one of those rare courses where you can literally feel the weight of history in every swing. Originally designed by the legendary British duo Harry Colt and Charles Alison in 1929, then later enhanced by Tom Fazio, Seaside represents a fascinating blend of Golden Age architecture with modern refinements. Colt's influence is unmistakable in the strategic bunkering and routing that works naturally with the coastal terrain, while Fazio's touch ensures the course plays beautifully for today's game without losing its vintage soul. What sets Seaside apart from other coastal Georgia tracks is its authentic links character – this isn't manufactured seaside golf, but the real deal with ocean breezes, firm turf conditions, and that satisfying roll you get on well-designed seaside holes. The fact that walking is encouraged here speaks volumes about both the routing quality and the course's respect for golf's traditional pace. While many resort courses in the area cater primarily to resort guests with premium pricing, Seaside's public accessibility makes it a genuine find for anyone wanting to experience world-class architecture without the exclusivity factor.
