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.
