The Lodge at Sea Island Golf Club

At the end of a majestic, oak -lined drive waits The Lodge at Sea Island Golf Club. Forty rooms and suites, affording views of the Atlantic Ocean and Rees Jones' Plantation Golf Course, offer guests the quintessential club experience. Classic appointments such as exposed wood beams and Oriental carpets create a stately English manor feel, while 24-hour personal butler service and warm cookies-and-milk turndowns evoke traditional Southern hospitality.

Team-building recreation includes horseback riding along a secluded beach, clay target shooting at Sea Island's famous Shooting School, and 36 holes of top-ranked golf—where, each evening, a lone bagpiper signals the end of friendly competition on the two legendary golf courses. Also on property, the Golf Learning Center, employing four of Golf Digest's top 50 instructors.

On-site, two outstanding restaurants and four generous meeting rooms inspire highly productive gatherings. A fireplace warms the elegant, boardroom-style Page Room, while the open space of the adjacent Spalding Room allows groups to do business in a more relaxed setting. Other draws for business guests: the oceanfront veranda, Trophy Room, and Wine Cellar.
