02What golfers say

The word on the course.

How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.

Pete Dye’s rebuild of the old Sea Marsh, with his signature mounding, railroad-tie bunkers, and water-guarded greens. Golfers call it a real test that demands shot-making and smart positioning, but a touch tamer than Harbour Town next door.

Best forShot-makingVariety

Consistently praised

Classic Dye look and feel: mounding, angles, and railroad-tie bunkers without being as brutal as Harbour Town.
Strategic dogleg routing and water-guarded greens reward thinking your way around.

Worth knowing

Still a tough course; off-line tee shots and missed lines get punished, with lots of forced decisions off the tee.

Golfers recommend

Play the tees that match your game; the back tees stretch past 7,000 yards.
Favor position over power; pick the correct side of fairways into the green.
