IMO the more fun of the tournament courses. The rework by DL3 to bring the golden age template greens in were very enjoyable. Given 10 rounds at the resort I’m playing 7 here.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s scenery rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Scenery is the scenery score golfers give when they log a round. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs scenery ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of St. Simons Island, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
