Sea Island Golf Club (Plantation Course)
St. Simons Island, GA
The Plantation Course at Sea Island Golf Club, reimagined by the renowned team of Davis Love III and his brother Mark Love, offers a captivating blend of strategic challenge and picturesque coastal beauty. Reopened in 2019, their redesign thoughtfully enhanced the original 1928 Walter Travis layout, emphasizing expansive fairways and breathtaking vistas of the Atlantic Ocean. The course unfolds across a gently rolling landscape, framed by ancient oaks and vibrant flora, creating a visually stunning backdrop for your round. While more forgiving than its famous sibling, the Seaside Course, Plantation demands precision with its strategically placed water hazards and well-bunkered greens. Memorable holes often feature dramatic ocean backdrops, particularly on the back nine, where the coastal breezes add an extra layer of complexity. The overall playing experience is one of refined Southern charm, balancing playability for all skill levels with enough intrigue to test seasoned golfers. This course is ideally suited for destination golfers seeking a luxurious and engaging resort golf experience, as well as locals looking for a consistently enjoyable and scenic round.

Love's design philosophy of creating a strategic and challenging, yet fair, test of golf is evident throughout the 18 holes. Having hosted numerous Korn Ferry Tour events, Kinderlou Forest has a proven championship pedigree. The course is known for its immaculate conditioning and demanding green complexes. A round at Kinderlou Forest offers a chance to experience a PGA Tour-caliber course and test your game against a layout designed by one of the modern greats of the game.
Chateau Elan Winery & Resort - Legends
Braselton, GA
A truly unique collaboration, Chateau Elan's Legends course was born from the vision of three of golf's most iconic figures: Gene Sarazen, Sam Snead, and Kathy Whitworth. Architect Denis Griffiths skillfully integrated their favorite holes from around the world into a cohesive and challenging layout. The design philosophy pays homage to the classic courses of the early 20th century, with each hole possessing a distinct and memorable character. A notable feature is the S-shaped bunker guarding the 3rd green, a tribute to Sarazen. Set amidst the rolling hills and mature forests of North Georgia, the course offers a tranquil and picturesque setting. The former home of the Sarazen World Open, The Legends provides a rare opportunity to walk in the footsteps of giants and experience a course shaped by the legends of the game themselves.

Reynolds Lake Oconee - The Landing
Greensboro, GA
The first course to be built at Reynolds Lake Oconee, the Plantation Course is a Bob Cupp design that has stood the test of time. Cupp's design philosophy was inspired by the classic courses of Scotland, with a focus on strategic bunkering, subtle deception, and the use of natural contours. The course winds its way through rolling hills and dense pine forests, offering a more traditional parkland experience compared to some of the other courses at Reynolds. A unique feature is the 'Quick Six,' a six-hole loop that offers a fun and fast alternative to a full 18. The Plantation Course is a testament to Cupp's design skill and remains a favorite among members and guests for its playability and classic charm.
