Tournament Information Host Venue

The Host Venue for The McGladrey Classic is Sea Island. The tournament is played on its Seaside course at Sea Island Golf Club, which is situated on the southern tip of St. Simons Island. This true ocean side course places a premium on careful shot selection, recovery and putting. Offering Sea Island’s most demanding layout, the storied Seaside Course has been the site of many prestigious golf events and has challenged some of the game’s finest golfers including Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus and Sam Snead.

Seaside was originally built as a nine hole course by legendary English architects Colt and Alison in 1929. In 1973, Joe Lee designed Marshside Nine. These two distinct nines were transformed into the current world-class Seaside course in 1999 by Tom Fazio. Seaside is prominently placed on Golf Digest’s list of “Top 100 Courses in the United States.” From the championship tees, Seaside is a 7,055 yard, par 70 course with a 141 slope rating.
