Old Waverly, the Bob Cupp and Jerry Pate course, was the site of the 1999 U.S. Women's Open, 2006 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur and the 2019 U.S. Women's Amateur.

Other highlights still include The Cloister, seemingly transported from Italy's Mediterranean coast, or The Lodge at Sea Island, with its 24-hour butler service. Both offer rounds at the Seaside, Plantation and Retreat courses.
