Sea Marsh Course
Sea Pines Plantation

Also designed by George Cobb, and remodeled in 1990 by Clyde Johnston, Sea Marsh opened in 1966 as the second golf course in Sea Pines. The course features broad, tree-lined fairways that traverse several large lagoons and marshes. Playing to a manageable 6,169 yards from the regular tees and 6,515 yards from the tips, Sea Marsh offers its most tempting challenge at the 471-yard, par five 9th hole. This is a sharp dogleg left where the second shot must be played over water to an elevated green surrounded by bunkers and backed by marshland. For years, one could cut the corner of the dogleg off the tee and have a medium iron into the green; today, the mature oaks and pines bordering the fairway have tightened the hole substantially and the player is forced to take a more conservative tack.
