Where to Stay (by vibe & proximity)
Not sure yet? Start with All St. Simons Vacation Rentals. You can also filter for homes near the King & Prince if you want that stretch of beach.
The Osprey Nest: Warm up on your own front‑yard putting green, then roll to the shuttle. Big marsh views, big gathering spaces, zero stress. See the home.
Parking & shuttles (how to get to the course)
Spectator parking: McKinnon St. Simons Airport, with free shuttles to Sea Island Golf Club. Accessible shuttles run from the general parking area. Because the airport is close to the club, the ride is usually 5–10 minutes.
Plan on extra time for security. Exact shuttle times and the year’s bag policy are posted on the official spectator pages—check the latest before you go.

What to bring (and not)
- Comfortable walking shoes (you’ll cover miles).
- Layers + hat (cool morning / warm afternoon).
- Sunscreen & refillable water bottle (per policy).
- Small clear bag only if required; always follow the current Spectator Guide and PGA TOUR bag policy.
- Bike lock if you plan to ride to the entrance (racks are typically available).
Etiquette on the ropes (so everyone sees more golf)
Phones on silent • One photo at a time • Follow marshals
- Let players and caddies pass first on crossings.
- Stand still at address; no running between shots.
- Obey rope lines and signage; keep chatter low inside viewing areas.
After play (walkable wins)
- Dinner on foot: Stay in the Village and stroll to restaurants and ice‑cream.
- Sunset: The pier or East Beach, then back to your place.
- Off‑day idea: Lighthouse + Neptune Park putt‑putt by the pier.
Easy fun by the pier after the last putt drops.
