Ocean Forest, GA
Ocean Forest Golf Club is home to one of the top-rated and finest championship golf courses in Georgia. Located at the top end of the ribbon-like Sea Island, several holes face out onto the estuary of the Hampton River and the Atlantic Ocean.
This excellent tree-lined "Carolina-style" layout weaves its way through pristine woodland and wetland areas. Along the way is a wealth of wonderfully crafted, memorable and challenging holes.
Limited access: this private course is generally playable only by members and their invited guests.
Private club; visitors/guests may only play if hosted by a member.

Soon after its opening in 1995, Ocean Forest was named as the venue for the 2001 Walker Cup. The top ten men's amateur players of the USA were beaten 15-9 by the top ten amateurs from Gt Britain & Ireland. The USA team included future leading PGA Tour professional Lucas Glover, while Luke Donald, Marc Warren, Nick Dougherty and Graeme McDowell played on the GB&I team.
Georgia's 6th best course (Golf Digest, 2023/24).
USA's 162nd best course (Golf Digest, 2023).
World's former 90th best course (GOLF magazine, 2005; not in subsequent editions of this ranking).
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
