Enjoy five-star luxury at Sea Island

Located on the south east coast of Georgia, Sea Island features five miles of private beach, a beach club, tennis centre, yachting and children’s programs.

It also features three championship golf courses, including Seaside and Plantation, home of the PGA Tour’s RSM Classic.

Sea Island is the only resort in the world to have received four Forbes Five-Star awards for 11 consecutive years.

Its Sporting Club and Lodge offers seasonal hunting and fishing opportunities, an ocean front pool, pool house and 18-hole putting course.

Variety the spice of life at Lake Oconee

If you are searching for variety when choosing a vacation, look no further than the stunning Reynolds Lake Oconee resort.

Located within Georgia’s inland coast, Reynolds is surrounded by thriving small towns and vibrant cities.

Start the week in style at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Great Waters course, rated by ‘Golf Magazine’ as the fifth-best Nicklaus course you can play.

Lake Oconee is also a water sports paradise, boasting 19,000 acres and 374 miles of shoreline for people to enjoy various water sports pursuits.

Created in 1979 from the Oconee River as part of the Georgia Power hydro-electric dam, water levels are controlled with little fluctuation throughout the year.

A taste of France at Chateau Elan

Take an easy 45-mile drive north east from Atlanta to Braselton and visit the wonderfully-designed Chateau Elan Golf Club.

The resort perfectly resembles a chateau set in France’s wine country and features its own working winery and culinary studio.

Golf fans will love the Denis Griffiths designed Chateau course that features water on 10 of the 18 holes set amongst north east Georgia’s beautiful rolling hills.

Griffiths also designed the newer Woodlands Course, rated highly by ‘Golf Digest’ and considered by some players to offer some of the best putting surfaces in the area.

With a stunning spa, tennis, basketball, volleyball and more, Chateau Elan provides visitors with a truly memorable stay.
