Sea Island Lodge and Golf Resort Video Tour

Take a tour of the stunning Sea Island Resorts including the Sea Island Learning Center, the two championship golf courses and the Sea Island Lodge and The Cloister Spa. Here is the transcript: NOW WE TAKE YOU TO SEA ISLAND, GEORGIA TO EXPERIENCE WHY MANY PEOPLE CONSIDER THE SEA ISLAND RESORTS AS THE PREMIER GOLF DESTINATION IN THE SOUTH. ONE OF THE MOST ENJOYABLE THINGS WE?RE ABLE TO DO HERE ON INSIDE GOLF MAGAZINE IS TO BRING YOU TO SOME OF THE GREAT PLACES YOU SHOULD CONSIDER VISITING AT SOME POINT IN YOUR LIFE. TODAY, WE?RE GOING TO TAKE YOU ON A TOUR OF SEA ISLAND, THE HOME OF TWO MOBILE FIVE-STAR-RATED RESORTS; THE CLOISTER AT SEA ISLAND AND THE LODGE AT SEA ISLAND GOLF CLUB. FROM THE VERY MOMENT I ARRIVED AT THE LODGE AT SEA ISLAND GOLF CLUB, I REALIZED THAT I WAS IN FOR A SPECIAL EXPERIENCE THAT YOU ONLY FIND AT A FEW SELECT LOCATIONS IN THE COUNTRY. SPANNING MILES OF SOUTHERN GEORGIA COASTLINE, THE RESORTS OFFER TWO CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF COURSES, A TENNIS CLUB, EQUESTRIAN CENTER, A YACHT CLUB, SHOOTING SCHOOL, AND A PLACE I MADE SURE TO VISIT A COUPLE OF TIMES DURING THE TRIP; THE FIVE-STAR CLOISTER SPA. HI, LESLIE! JESSICA, WELCOME TO THE CLOISTER SPA AND FITNESS CENTER. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MEET WITH ME. THANK YOU FOR COMING. THIS PLACE IS BEAUTIFUL. HOW BIG IS IT, EXACTLY? 65,000 SQUARE FEET. I GATHER THERE ARE A LOT OF SPECIAL ROOMS, HERE. THERE ARE A LOT OF INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SPACES TO ENJOY, RELAX OR, GETTING A WORKOUT. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO SEE ON THIS TOUR? WE CAN START IN THE FITNESS CENTER AND I?LL SHOW YOU THE NATATORIUM, OUR LAP POOL, AN AMAZING SPACE, INDOOR/OUTDOOR. WE HAVE CARDIO UPSTAIRS, WE HAVE A LABYRINTH OUTDOORS WITH CONTEMPLATED SEATING AREAS. LOTS OF PLACES TO RELAX. AND, OUR TREATMENT ROOM. WE HAVE A VARIETY OF FABULOUS TREATMENT ROOMS THAT WERE DESIGNED FOR EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCES, WHETHER IT BE BODY TREATMENTS OR SKIN CARE. THE CLOISTER SPA SOUNDS TRULY AMAZING; I'M SO EXCITED. I'M EXCITED TO SHOW YOU; YOU WILL ENJOY YOUR EXPERIENCE. THE POOL WE'VE GOT HERE AT SEA ISLAND, AT THE LODGE AND OUR GOLF COMPLEX IS A COMBINATION OF WONDERFUL ACCOMMODATIONS, GREAT CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF, EXCELLENT COURSE CONDITIONS. PROBABLY, THE PREEMINENT LEARNING EXPERIENCE THAT THERE IS IN THE GAME OF GOLF. HAVING A LARGE PRACTICE FACILITY AND LEARNING CENTER LOCATED RIGHT ON THE WATER IS IT?S GREATEST ATTRACTIONS. IT IS A TRULY SPECIAL PLACE. YOU CAN GET DISTRACTED PRETTY QUICKLY AND FORGET WHAT YOU?RE THERE FOR BUT, THAT?S WHAT MAKES IT WONDERFUL. OH, HI. I'M AT THE SEA ISLAND LEARNING CENTER. I JUST HAD A RELAXING MASSAGE AT THE SPA. LET ME TELL YOU, THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO WORK ON YOUR GAME. WE HAVE A WHOLE STACK OF GOLF MAGAZINE TOP 100 TEACHERS TO HELP YOU AND, PGA TOUR PLAYERS MAKE THIS PLACE THEIR HOME. GUYS LIKE DAVIS LOVE III, BRANCE NETIKERS, ZACK JOHNSON. I'M HOPING A LITTLE OF THEIR SKILL RUBS OFF ON ME. BRANDON, THIS HOLE LOOKS LIKE JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE WONDERFUL SECLUSION AND PRIVACY YOU HAVE AT SEA ISLAND. IT?S THE BEAUTY OF BEING HERE AT SEA ISLAND AND SEA ISLAND GOLF CLUB. ALL 36 HOLES ARE HERE RIGHT ON THE OCEAN; VERY TRANQUIL AND A GREAT SPOT TO PRACTICE AND THEN PLAY YOUR ROUNDS. WHERE ARE WE ON SEA ISLAND? THIS IS NUMBER 14 ON SEA SIDE, OBVIOUSLY, AND WE?RE LOOKING OUT AT ST. SIMON SOUND WHICH GOES RIGHT STRAIGHT INTO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. THAT?S THE BEAUTY OF SEA ISLAND. BOTH THE LODGE AND THE CLOISTER LOCATED RIGHT ON THE OCEAN WITH BEAUTIFUL BEACHES AND GREAT TEMPERATURES ALL YEAR ROUND. THIS GOLF COURSE IS TRULY SPECTACULAR BUT, I FEEL AS THOUGH I'M USING A LOT OF CLUBS IN MY BAG AROUND THE GREENS. WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND TO PREPARE FOR THIS COURSE? IT?S GREAT THAT YOU ARE USING A LOT OF CLUBS. USE YOUR IMAGINATION. IT?S NOT JUST A SAND WEDGE ON EVERY SHOT. THESE ARE TIGHT CHIPPING SWELLS. A LOT OF TIMES YOU WANT TO USE YOUR PUTTER OR EVEN A THREE-WOOD OR A HYBRID. ANYTHING LIKE THAT TO HELP YOU GET THAT BALL ON THE GREEN. I WANT YOU TO HIT THIS DRIVE AND SHOW ME THE WAY, HERE. IF I'M HALF AS GOOD AS THAT ONE, I?LL BE THRILLED. WHEN YOU COME DOWN SOUTH TO SEA ISLAND, IT?S IMPORTANT NOT TO RUSH INTO ANYTHING. REMEMBER, THIS IS SOUTHERN STYLE; LAID BACK LIKE AN ADIRONDACK CHAIR. SO TAKE SOME TIME, ENJOY THE COMPLETE EXPERIENCE. THE STUNNING GARDENS ON THE GROUNDS, THE LOBBIES AND COMMON AREAS OF THESE FIVE-STAR RESORTS AND, THE LUXURY SUITES ARE AN EXCELLENT PLACE TO START. AS FAR AS GOLF DESTINATIONS GO, SEA ISLAND BRINGS YOU SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY WITH WORLD-CLASS CHARM HERE IN GEORGIA. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU BRING YOUR FAMILY TO VISIT. YOU?LL HAVE A GOOD TIME.
