Year round, Seabrook Island offers a delightful twist on the traditional golfing experience. During the winter, you won’t be contending with snow-covered fairways or frigid winds. Instead, you’ll find a golfing oasis where emerald fairways seamlessly merge with baby blue skies and saltwater sands. The island’s mild winter climate ensures that tee times are pleasant with an average of highs in the low 60s and only an occasional cold snap. The cool ocean winds coming off the Atlantic are welcomed during the spring and summer seasons making your round most enjoyable from your first swing to your final putt.
Seabrook Island boasts a collection of championship-caliber golf courses that cater to golfers of all skill levels. The Ocean Winds and Crooked Oaks courses, designed by legendary architects Williard C. Byrd and Robert Trent Jones Sr., offer not only challenging play but also breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and lush maritime woodlands abounding with breathtaking live oaks and dripping with spanish moss. You are sure to encounter wildlife as this barrier island protects everything from the white-tailed deer to the American alligator.
Beyond the fairways, Seabrook Island’s serene ambiance is perfect for unwinding and recharging. Pristine beaches and tranquil marshlands create a serene backdrop for relaxation and exploration. Nature enthusiasts can spot an abundance of wildlife, including graceful seabirds and playful dolphins, adding a touch of wonder to each day. Stroll along North Beach towards Captain Sam’s Inlet at low tide and you may just get to experience the dolphin’s strand feeding! It is a taught behavior that is passed along from generation to generation and only found in very few dolphin populations world wide. Don’t forget to pack an after dinner digestif or your favorite evening elixir as you enjoy the sunset at Pelican’s Watch where the sky lights up as the sun dips down into the Atlantic.
