Overview

The soul of Sea Island lies in its quiet rhythms: the tide's pull on the greens, the camaraderie of pros under the sun, and the unspoken bond between player and land, a sanctuary where golf becomes poetry. Nestled amid Georgia's sun-kissed Golden Isles, Sea Island Golf Club stands as a timeless beacon for golfers, weaving together a century of history, world-class play, and breathtaking natural splendor. From its 1920s origins as Howard Coffin's visionary retreat, born from a former cotton plantation to its evolution into a PGA TOUR host, this book delves into the club's captivating story.
