Why It's a Pilgrimage

Sea Island is where a remarkable number of touring professionals choose to live and practice, which tells you everything about the conditioning and the setting. The Seaside Course plays along salt marsh and the Atlantic with a links openness rare on the East Coast, and the Cloister and Lodge wrap the whole thing in old-money Georgia hospitality. It is the polished, refined end of the bucket-list spectrum — a pilgrimage you make to be pampered as much as tested.
