FROM THE DIRECTOR OF AGRONOMY
Dear Members,
As we transition into the summer season at Sea Palms, the Golf Course Maintenance team is hard at work preparing the course for peak playing conditions. Our main focus is fostering a healthy, uniform stand of turf throughout all playing surfaces—and we’re tackling it head-on
From June 4th to 11th, we'll be closed and conducting comprehensive aeration of greens, tees, approaches, and fairways. This crucial process helps relieve compaction, improves air and water movement in the soil, and sets the stage for strong summer growth. Alongside aeration, we’ll be fertilizing and addressing any weak or damaged areas, many of which were impacted by the harsh winter weather.
While the extremes of winter presented a few challenges, our dedicated staff is more than ready to meet them. We’ll continue to target specific problem spots with additional aeration and fertilization as needed to accelerate recovery and promote healthy turf development.
Thank you for your patience during these necessary maintenance periods. We’re committed to delivering the best possible playing conditions and appreciate your continued support as we work to make Sea Palms shine this summer.
Thanks,
Justin Collett Director of Agronomy justin.collett@seapalms.com

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF SALES
Dear Members,
We hope this newsletter finds you well
The Sales Department is pleased to report strong momentum in our efforts thus far this year, marked by key achievements aligned with our growth strategy. Sea Palms Resort welcomed our first international group this February, a milestone that reflects our expanding global reach and the increasing appeal of our resort to international markets. Our outreach continues to grow across multiple segments, positioning us for continued success
We are honored to be the host venue for the Taste of Glynn in January 2026—a well-known community culinary event that supports the work of the Amity House and further strengthens our commitment to meaningful local partnerships
In addition, we were proud to serve as the host venue for Buc-ee’s mass hiring event last month. As Buc-ee’s prepares to open its new location, it is expected to be a major driver of economic activity and tourism in the Golden Isles, and we are excited to support a business that will significantly contribute to the region’s growth.
