Sea Island Resort

Retreat Golf Course, nestled on Sea Island, is an experience deeply rooted in Southern hospitality and challenging golf. While not as storied as its sibling courses on the island, Retreat offers a more relaxed, player-friendly test that still captures the essence of coastal Georgia golf. Designed by Davis Love III, Retreat reflects a modern sensibility with generous fairways framed by native grasses and strategically placed bunkers. The course meanders through the marshlands, offering sweeping views and a constant coastal breeze. While the fairways are wide, Love demands thought, rewarding strategic play and a deft touch around the greens. Faders are favored here, as several holes subtly encourage a right-to-left ball flight. While it has not hosted any major professional events, the course is a favorite among members and guests seeking a more casual, yet still challenging, round of golf. It's an ideal complement to the more demanding courses on Sea Island, providing a balance of playability and strategic depth. Beyond the golf itself, Retreat provides a quintessential Sea Island experience, complete with warm hospitality and a relaxed atmosphere. Be sure to grab a bite at the halfway house and try their homemade pimento cheese sandwich. It's the perfect fuel for tackling the back nine.
