The Plantation Course
The Plantation Course was originally designed by Walter Travis opened for play in 1926. The course as we see it today was redesigned by Rees Jones. Jones calls his Plantation design, "parkland by the sea" for its magnificent vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and its lush natural scenery.
With Rees Jones' masterful renovation, Plantation Course unfolds among a forest of ancient live oak and cedar, with a hint of danger lurking in its tidal creeks and lakes.

This is the second tier course located at The Lodge at Sea Island, the premier course being Seaside. It is a very nice course, but gets an awful lot of play and hosts numerous group and corporate outings. Pace of play and accessibility can be a problem. Overall, a very nice course, but suffers in comparison to Seaside.
