Ocean Forest Golf Course sits on the northern tip of Sea Island along a narrow strip of land between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway. The course was designed by Rees Jones and opened in 1995 on a former hunting preserve. Its fairways thread through stands of live oak draped in Spanish moss and cross natural dunes stabilized by sea oats and cordgrass. Greens are planted with TifEagle bermudagrass and maintained at speeds that reward precision approach shots. Wind off the ocean influences every hole, shifting direction several times during a round and requiring players to adjust club selection on consecutive shots. Drainage canals dug for the original hunting property remain in play as water hazards on several holes, while the sandy soil beneath the turf allows quick recovery after heavy rain. Cart paths follow old logging roads that once connected turpentine camps to the coast, and some tees sit on shell mounds left by earlier inhabitants. The layout concludes on a green set behind a tidal marsh where fiddler crabs scuttle between rounds.
