Few private clubs in American golf occupy a more storied patch of ground than Ocean Forest. Designed by Rees Jones and opened in 1995 on Sea Island's northeast tip, the course was built to championship specifications from the start — Jones shaped it through a corridor of ancient live oaks and maritime forest, with the Atlantic and several tidal marshes pressing in from multiple angles. It has hosted the Walker Cup (2001) and served as a regular venue for elite amateur competition, cementing its reputation as one of the Southeast's most serious tests of ball-striking.
Sea Island itself is one of Georgia's Golden Isles, a stretch of barrier islands where the air carries salt, the light goes amber in the afternoon, and the landscape shifts constantly between forest, marsh, and open sky. The combination of coastal wind and firm, fast turf means scoring depends as much on course management as raw power — the ocean influence is never decorative.
Ocean Forest is accessible only to Sea Island resort guests and property owners, which keeps the rounds quiet and the conditions immaculate. This is golf as a full retreat, unhurried and seriously maintained, in one of the most naturally beautiful settings on the Eastern Seaboard.
