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.

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).
Women’s (British) Open: the last women’s major championship of the season is hosted by Royal Porthcawl GC. It’s the first time this fabulous seaside links course has hosted the event (July 31-Aug 3).
Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7). After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
