A Seaside Retreat

There’s a reason so many Tour pros call Sea Island home. It’s not just the perfectly manicured turf or the top-tier training grounds—it’s the rhythm of the place. The soft salt air. The hush of the marshes. The porch rockers at golden hour. The quiet confidence of a golf club that knows exactly what it is.

This spring, the Broken Tee Society heads to Sea Island Resort for four days and three nights of golf and good living on Georgia’s Golden Isles. We’ll play all three of Sea Island’s courses—Seaside’s windblown challenge, Plantation’s bold redesign, and the laid-back charm of Retreat. Between rounds, members will enjoy world-class on-site accommodations, unwind in the same facilities used by some of the game’s best, and take part in the kind of unhurried lifestyle that keeps golfers coming back here.

Trip Itinerary

March 26

Arrival & First Loops

Your Sea Island story begins the moment you pull into the live oak-lined drive and check in at The Lodge. Bellmen greet you by name, your clubs disappear toward the Performance Center, and a fresh breeze off the Atlantic confirms what you already suspected: This is going to be good. We recommend arriving early so you can get your feels dialed on The Retreat course. That evening, we’ll gather at the Sea Island Performance Center for cocktails, dinner, games and camaraderie—a relaxed kickoff in one of the finest golf facilities in the country. Back in your room, still-warm cookies will be waiting bedside.

March 27

Seaside

After a hearty breakfast, you’ll tee it up on Seaside, a Tour-tested layout that winds between salt marsh and sand dunes. Designed for shotmakers and daydreamers alike, it’s a pure walk made even better with good company. The afternoon is yours—lounge by the water, explore the resort, or book a replay round at a preferred rate. That evening, a private BTS dinner brings everyone back together to swap stories and toast the day.

March 28

Plantation

Today brings a delightful lap around the Plantation course, reimagined by Davis and Mark Love into a dynamic, intimate routing that’s as fun to play as it is beautiful to walk. The rhythm of the trip settles in—coffee, golf, lunch, downtime, dinner in the Trophy Room—with each element handled with Sea Island’s signature Southern ease.

March 29

Retreat & Farewell

Choose how you’d like to spend your final day at Sea Island: Book more golf, sharpen your game at the Performance Center or simply enjoy a walk with new friends before departures begin. By the time you roll out, you’ll have played three world-class courses, spent four days in five-star comfort, and become part of another legendary BTS gathering.

Does my guest have to be a member?

Yes, all guests must be active Premium TGJ members. The best way to bring a non-member guest is to gift them a Premium TGJ membership.

Can I stay off-site during the event?

No. Due to resort restrictions and group booking requirements, all guests must stay on property to participate in the event. This ensures a seamless experience for all attendees and supports the event’s contractual obligations with the host venue.

If you have special circumstances, please reach out to events@golfersjournal.com before booking.

Can I attend as a single?

Yes, almost 50% of event attendees are singles. Bring a friend or come make some new ones. Otherwise, you will be paired with another BTS member at random.

If you have another person or team you’d like to be grouped with, please submit the request on the Guest Details form on the Players Room following your purchase.

Are there handicap / skill requirements?

Players of all skill levels are welcome. All we ask is that you:

  • Respect the game and your fellow players
  • Keep up with the group ahead
  • Have fun

We will use a double-bogey max scoring format to keep pace moving and rounds enjoyable.

If you’d like to compete in the Net Division, you’ll need an active GHIN or other accredited handicap
