The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
An Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay design on Spring Island that golfers describe as one of Palmer’s most natural layouts, routed through an old live-oak forest on a tight front nine and more open, sandy ground on the back, finishing with marsh-hugging holes and river views. A private, low-traffic club.
Consistently praised
- Routing through a 150-year-old live-oak forest, with each hole feeling secluded.
- Marsh-bordering closing holes (notably the much-photographed par-3 17th) with river views.
Worth knowing
- Private with very few member families, so it sees little outside play, and it is a genuine test at over 7,000 yards from the back.
Golfers recommend
- A quiet, uncrowded round where you never feel rushed; savor the natural setting.
- The front nine is tight through the oaks, the back opens up; adjust strategy accordingly.
