This course opened on Nov 1, 2025. Still needs a decent amount of time for grow in, it is no where near a finished product, the greens are in good shape but were dangerously slow. The layout is fantastic, fun and visually appealing.

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.

Played on a Sunday afternoon and pace was good. Finished in under 3 1/2 hours. Rained in the morning so the course was soft with a little bit of standing water around the edges of the course but overall in good condition.

Sea Palms was a really fun track. Greens and fairways were in excellent shape. There is a mixture of challenging holes with tight tree lined tee shots, but if you can keep your ball in play you can definitely play well here.
