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.

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.

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.

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.

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
