A major transformation is in the making. Almost every aspect of the Sea Palms property is being touched vastly updating and improving this well-established resort entity. Originally designed by George Cobb and Tom Jackson in 1967, the Sea Palms golf course is well established as one of the finest tracks in the Golden Isles offering challeng ing play for golfers of all levels. The courses’ last four holes are considered among the finest finishing holes in the region. The Chattanooga-based golf design firm, King Collins, is currently mak ing their mark on this dynamic course giving the Sea Palms course a $1.7 million facelift. Virtually every hole is being touched and reshaped with special emphasis on holes 16 and 18. The course is totally reseeded from tees to greens with special tif turfs, while laser-leveling and reshaping of all tee boxes is underway. A brand- new putting green adjacent to 1st hole tee boxes is being created. New tee monuments, tee markers and co quina shell cart paths will grace the course, with totally renovated com fort stations and the 9th hole halfway house adding vast improvement to the course’s infrastructure. The iconic green fencing along Frederica Road is being saved through major repair and replacement, along with tree trimming, landscaping, and aesthetic improvement at the street level. Enthusiastically named The Mira cle by its designers and creators, King Collins, this dynamic new club mem bers’ only practice facility will set a higher standard for golf facilities of its kind, anywhere. Located on the par 5 ninth hole of the former Sea Palms West course, the new facility will offer club mem bers possibilities for improving their total game. The Miracle and the rebuild of Sea Palms 18-hole championship course are scheduled for grand opening on September 28, 2019. In addition to golf, a major facelift is underway across the face of the re sort. The clubhouse and conference center are being updated including the ballroom, meeting rooms, lobby, guest services area, restaurant, the golf pro shop, and locker rooms. 19.59 18.99 22.99 Bushmills Coco Sky Cream Kahlua Segrams V.O. 1.75
