Thinking About Living in Frederica Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Frederica Golf Club and the surrounding St. Simons Island golf market.
Frederica Golf Club is the private-club centerpiece of Frederica, a gated golf-and-equestrian community on the far north end of St. Simons Island, near the Fort Frederica National Monument ruins. Community size is capped at roughly 300 homes across a reported 1,700-3,000-acre footprint (sources vary). Despite marketing language invoking 'Sea Island,' the community and club have been independently owned by the Huizenga family since 2010.
Golf & Course
The course is a Tom Fazio design running approximately 7,217 yards from the back tees with a slope of 142, built on former Frederica plantation grounds.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Frederica property owners are not automatically club members -- they may apply for Full Golf Membership. The club separately offers a limited number of National and Golf Memberships to non-property-owners, and Invitational Memberships that require sponsorship/recommendation by an existing property-owning member. There is no public or resort-guest access.
Living in Frederica Golf Club
Frederica is a gated golf-and-equestrian enclave capped at approximately 300 homes, with an equestrian center and conservation-oriented land planning alongside the golf course. A smaller, adjacent 27-home gated enclave (Frederica Marsh Cottages) sits near the golf club and is treated here as a sub-community rather than a separate market anchor.
Lifestyle & Amenities
The club offers a clubhouse with dining and a golf learning center; the broader Frederica community's marketing also references an equestrian center, fitness, and social amenities, though this session did not independently confirm which amenities sit at the golf club specifically versus elsewhere in the community.
Location & Surrounding Area

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current initiation fee and annual dues directly with the club -- only a third-party aggregator range was found this session.
