Great value

The question I ask myself after a round at a new place is this: Could I play here everyday and be happy? And to this course, I would answer yes. It’s a straightforward layout with excellent conditioning. The par 3’s require some well struck middle irons and the par 5’s require some strategy.
If you can play it for less than $100, then definitely do so.

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.

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.

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.
