The seaside course on sea island is a tom fazio re-design of the 1929 classic designed by harry s. colt and charles alison. Bobby jones, the famous golfer, said it was one of the greatest nine holes he had ever played. According to davis love iii, fazio converted two nines from "18 holes that didn't work into 18 matchless holes" by tying the original seaside with the old marshside course.

Seaside is an ocean-side links course that blends a spectacular natural setting with a demanding and enjoyable golf course. Sweeping dunes, native grasses, wildflowers, and bunkers surround the immaculately manicured fairways and greens. And the breeze alters the golf experience on a regular basis. Seaside, the most dramatic architecture on sea island, is consistently ranked among the top 100 courses in the nation. It is home to the pga tour's rsm classic, a fedex cup event organized by sea island touring pro davis love iii, as well as the plantation course.
