Overview

The Plantation course re-opened in October 2019 after a major remodeling by Sea Island resident Davis Love III and his brother, Mark. Shorter par 4s were made more interesting and challenging by adding strategic fairway bunkering (like a Principal's Nose bunker on the 10th), and changing the shape and contours to green complexes helped boost shot options.

“The renovations at Sea Island's Plantation Course brought a bunch of changes starting with their green complexes. It was a pleasant walk around this aesthetically pleasing piece of southern charm property. With a fantastic practice area, it is no wonder why several tour pros call it home."

“The course played firm and fast, with large template style greens. It was in great shape. DL3 team did an excellent job on the redesign."

“It is hard to compete with the Seaside course, but the Plantation course does offer a nice change of pace for a guest staying there for a couple of days. Good conditioning, lots of water, and a bit of a casual resort feel."

“Plantation is better than the "sister" courses at some resorts, but it isn't worth the trip by itself. Solid golf."

“Nice complement to the Seaside course. Davis Love III will soon help lead a renovation. The Sea Island restaurants offer plenty of options after the round, from Italian, Southern and seafood. Lots to choose from."
