Atlantic Beach Country Club

Atlantic Beach Country Club (formerly known as the Selva Marina Country Club until 2014) was designed by Ed Seay and debuted in 1958. Built to exist in congruence with existing native ecology, gentle fairways are routed over existing undulations and feature large bunkers flanked with tall grasses. Since 2007, the club has undergone two significant renovations. The first led by Bobby Weed in 2007 added length and changed grasses, while the second in 2014 headed by Erik Larsen, formerly of Arnold Palmer’s design company, entailed a complete redevelopment focused on adding and redoing bunkers, as well as runoff areas with the goal of creating a more natural and dunesy feel to the course. Now, tight driving windows are guarded by long, snaking waste areas that appear to shrink fairways, and mis-hit iron shots will likely find the penal, tightly mown collection areas just off of putting surfaces.
