Thinking About Living in Sea Palms Golf & Tennis Resort?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Sea Palms Golf & Tennis Resort and the surrounding St. Simons Island golf market.
Sea Palms is St. Simons Island's largest single golf-residential community -- a 340-home Property Owners Association plus multiple villa and condo regimes -- built around a semi-private George Cobb course that has operated under Troon management as 'The Club at Sea Palms' since 2022. It offers a more attainable entry point to St. Simons golf living than Frederica or Sea Island, with villas reported from the $300Ks and single-family homes from the high $500Ks.
Golf & Course
Designed by Georgia native George Cobb in 1967 and fully renovated in October 2019; plays to 6,608 yards, par 71. The club's practice facility is branded 'The Miracle.'
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
The course is open to resort guests, daily-fee public play, and members. Named membership tiers (Signature, Junior Signature, National) offer meaningful semi-private privileges, but membership is optional for Sea Palms homeowners -- owning a home, villa, or condo in the Sea Palms community does not include or require club membership.
