Course Information:
Par 72 – 7,217 yards
Designed by Tom Fazio
When acclaimed golf designer Tom Fazio spotted the special appeal of St. Simons Island, he knew the rolling acres were destined to become Frederica Golf Club, now one of the very best golf courses in the Southeast. The Frederica course was built in collaboration with Sir Michael Bonallack; his knowledge of the game, of golf's greatest venues and history with the sport were instrumental in creating this one-of-a-kind course. More than a decade later, the Golden Isles coastal golf course is a treasure boasting expansive greens on pine-harvested terrain. More than 1,100 spectacular live oaks–a signature of South Georgia’s beautiful landscape–frame the edges of the course, offering plenty of intriguing setups for thoughtful golfers.
Clay target shooting will be offered the morning of Tuesday, Nov. 15, at the Sea Island Shooting School. The outing will be a one-hour overview of gun safety, equipment and shooting techniques beginning at 10 a.m.
If you wish to participate, you must register. You will not be added to the list without registration.

Yoga will be offered the morning of Tuesday, Nov. 14. The class will be a one-hour session beginning at 8:30 a.m. at the Yoga Studio at The Fitness Center at Sea Island.
