Forbes 5-star, 96 consecutive years. 54 holes between Seaside, Plantation, and Retreat — bagpiper closes out the day at sunset. Shooting School runs trap, skeet, 5-Stand and Helice on a separate ground; the bachelor angle is the half-day Helice flush followed by a River Bar dinner with the 300-bottle bourbon list. Day three: inshore tarpon with a Lodge captain or a charter to St. Simons Sound for redfish. Decompression at the Cloister spa or the porch of the Beach Club. Brunswick Golden Isles airport (BQK) is 25 minutes.

Questions
How does the dress code work?
Coat at dinner in the Lodge dining rooms, jacket-required at the Georgian Room. River Bar is more relaxed.
Can we get all 54 holes in three days?
Yes — the property runs a Three-Course Plan that books all three with caddie service. Add the Performance Center for a morning session before round one.
Is the Shooting School beginner-friendly?
Yes. PGA-style instruction at the Helice and 5-Stand stations. The crew can bring no experience and walk away comfortable.
How big can a group go?
Lodge has 50 keys + 7 cottages. Cloister carries the rest. Twenty-four is comfortable; thirty plus needs both properties.
