1. Sapelo Hammock Golf Club
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 20 reviews
Sapelo Hammock Golf Club features five sets of tees to accommodate golfers of all skill levels. The 18-hole, 6,887-yard, par 72 course is the main attraction, boasting Champion Bermuda greens, 4 - 19 Bermuda fairways and roughs, and coastal Georgia marsh grass hazards. The thought-provoking layout will test the veteran players while the picturesque scenery will help newer golfers relax as they enjoy learning the classic game. With over two miles of marsh front play, the views are spectacular. The clubhouse is also available for receptions, business functions, and the marsh view side is a great spot for location wedding. Our Eagles Nest apartment above the clubhouse is a two bedroom, two bath rental with full kitchen, den and deck overlooking the beautiful coastal marsh. We offer stay and play packages and have this apartment and three other condos available for stays of 16-20 guests.

Sapelo Hammock is a hidden gem of a golf course. It is beautifully situated on the Coastal Marsh. The course has several tee boxes and can accommodate all caliber of golfers. It is a beast from the back tees, hard from the blue tees and has the most challenging par 3s. The vistas are beautiful. The course was in good shape for January, greens putted true and were fairly fast but held high irons. Staff is friendly and cost is very reasonable. If you are close or even thinking of going near there, you must play golf here. I promise you will thank me for it.

Sapelo Island is truly a one of a kind place and the Visitor's Center put one in the frame of mind to truly enjoy the island if you are fortunate enough to visit it or simply learn about the island's history which is amazing. We Airbnb'd on the Island and used the Visitor's Center to familiarize ourselves with the history of the island and what to expect. Two books will take you back in time to the Island's unique history: "Goin' D'Iland" by Mike Sellers and "God, Dr. Buzzard & the Bolito Man" by Cornelia Walker Bailey are must reads and both available at the Visitor's Center. If you're fortunate enough to go to the Island don't pass up the chance and be prepared to immerse yourself in a time long past.

Excellent first stop on our recent visit to Savannah. Lots of helpful maps and people, a small gift shop and clean restrooms. Convenient parking lot and also near a parking garage if you want to park under cover - also a stop for the CAT free trolley is nearby as well as some other, paid, trolley tours of Savannah. There is a small snack stand also in the building. The building itself is worth a look, beautiful and impressive inside and out!

I attended the Georgia Tourism Conference at the Jekyll Island Conference Center and was so impressed. What an open, inviting facility that draws on the beauty of the island through the architecture, decor and artwork displayed throughout. The food was wonderful (I want the recipe for the loaded baked potato salad!), classrooms comfortable, Wifi fully functional, and restrooms plentiful and clean. The proximity of the convention center to the nearby town center with shops and restaurants was nice, as was the temptation of the palm trees, beach and ocean just outside. Beautiful facility!

The Arthur J. Moore Methodist Museum, located on the grounds of Epworth By The Sea on St. Simons Island, Georgia, is named for Bishop Moore who was instrumental in bringing his dream of a Methodist retreat and conference center into existence. The Moore Museum houses the archives for the South Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church, an extensive Research Library, Gift Shop, and exhibits dedicated to the founding and history of Methodism, island history and so much more. There are more than 20,000 visitors to the Moore Museum each year including over 3,500 confirmands, campers, youth and adult groups, and people like you. Plan to visit us soon!

The Arthur J. Moore Methodist Museum on the grounds of Epworth By the Sea is a Georgia treasure. Not only is admission free, the collection is historical and interesting. Anyone who appreciates history will enjoy a visit - especially a person of Faith. Of course, there is the expected information on the Wesley brothers but this museum goes much deeper and has interesting collections. I enjoyed looking at the international items from mission trips and the early 20th Century revival items. I strongly encourage a walk through if you are in St. Simons and especially if you are on property at Epworth.

This welcome center was our first stop upon arriving at St. Simons. We arrived at 4:15 p.m. and they close at 5 p.m. The lady that was working there was very nice and knowledgeable about the area. Plenty of brochures are available for attractions, historical visits, restaurants and surrounding places such as Jekyll and Sapelo Islands and Savannah. There is a small gift shop area within the welcome center if you wish to purchase merchandise. There are no restrooms in the welcome center. You will need to walk across the street to the brick library building to access restroom facilities. Our visit was during an uptick of Corona virus cases in Glynn County. Many people, including staff, were wearing masks and hand sanitizer was available.

After being cooped up for three months, we were ready to get out of Dodge. We decided on St. Simon's Island because it is a comfortable three-hour drive from Hilton Head Island and because of the many historic sightseeing opportunities. Our first stop was the Golden Isles Welcome Center. I had researched the top attractions on the island; the center was a wonderful resource for brochures and maps on the top attractions we wanted to see. Laurie spent time with us answering questions and suggesting additional places for us to visit. The center has a nice gift shop with souvenirs and books about the area. We are especially interested in Eugenia Price, a St. Simon's historical novelist; her books are available at the center. One of the many attractions we were interested in were the "Tree Spirits," seven faces/images carved into trees. It is a scavenger hunt of sorts; clues lead you to find them on the island. The very first tree spirit is clearly marked in the welcome center parking lot. It is not to be missed. She is dedicated to the loggerhead turtles. The welcome center is strategically located within easy walking distance of the famed SSI Pier, Lighthouse Museum, and public pool. Restrooms are located directly across the street in the Postell Market, home to the SSI library. We scored some free books from a cart just outside of the library.
