Sea Island Paintings and Prints

Sea Island Golf Club occupies the southern tip of St. Simons Island on the Georgia coast. Howard Coffin, who developed the Sea Island resort in the 1920s, started with a nine-hole course by Walter Travis. When Travis died before his plans for a second nine were carried out, Coffin turned to the English firm of Harry Colt and Charles Alison, whose Seaside nine opened in 1929 and became well known for its holes along the marsh and the sound.

Tom Fazio redesigned the course in 1999, combining the original Seaside nine with the old Marshside nine into a single 18-hole course. Seaside is a flat, open course of fescue and sandy ground in the style of a British links, framed by marsh, St. Simons Sound and the ocean beyond. With few trees to block it, the coastal wind decides much of the play, and the look changes with the tide.

Since 2010 Seaside has been the host course of the PGA Tour's RSM Classic, played each November and co-hosted in recent years by the neighboring Plantation Course. Davis Love III, who lives on St. Simons Island, hosts the event.

Golf at Sea Island began modestly. When Travis's first nine, Plantation, opened in 1928, the resort's hotel, The Cloister, had not yet been completed, and guests were housed on a floating hotel moored nearby.

Linda Hartough has painted the 13th, a par 4 that curves toward the water, offered in two editions.

The collection holds 2 Sea Island prints, available as canvas giclées and prints on fine art paper, in limited editions and artist proofs, in sizes from 12"x20" to 21"x36".
