Davis Love III and his brother Mark redesigned the Retreat Course at Sea Island in 2001, completing a top-to-bottom renovation that lengthened the course by 300 yards and widened the fairways for a more open, lower-profile feel. Davis Love III, a Sea Island resident, was inducted into the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame the same year. The redesigned Retreat was named a Top Ten New Course by Elite Traveler magazine after its reopening. As one of three resort-only Sea Island courses, the Retreat is typically the most playable for mixed-handicap groups, wider corridors and less penal hazard placement than the Seaside or Plantation. Resort-only access at luxury-tier pricing matches the Sea Island brand standard. For a multi-day Sea Island stay this is the warmup or windup round; Seaside or Plantation gets the marquee day.
Sea Island - Retreat Course's peak-season green fee is around $245 per round. Off-peak rates vary by season. Call the pro shop for current shoulder pricing. Cart, range balls, and caddie fees are typically separate. Estimate the full Sea Island trip cost
