Sea Island Golf Club’s Plantation Course occupies a low-lying coastal plain on St. Simons Island, where salt marshes border several fairways and tidal creeks intersect the layout. The routing alternates between open stretches of Bermuda grass and corridors framed by live oaks and saw palmetto. Greens are built to USGA specifications, with subtle contours that reward precise approach shots and place a premium on lag putting. Multiple holes play alongside or across water, including a pair of par-three holes that require carries over marsh edges. Fairway bunkers are positioned to catch drives that drift toward the prevailing onshore breeze, while scattered waste areas collect shots pulled toward the perimeter oaks. The course maintains separate forward, member, and championship tees, allowing the same set of hazards to present different strategic choices depending on the tee selected.
