The penultimate event of the 2024 PGA Tour season is scheduled for this weekend. Notably, the RSM Classic will play host to various pros, looking to capture the final OWGR points available to secure their PGA Tour cards. The tournament will also feature world no. 5 and defending champion, Ludvig Aberg, who will be looking to retain his title.

Both players and fans must be eager to know the challenges they can expect at the event. And there is no better way to learn about them than getting to know the golf course better. So let’s take a closer look at the venue that will host The RSM Classic 2024.

Home of The RSM Classic!

The 2024 RSM Classic will be the 15th version of the event after debuting in 2010. Ever since its beginning, the Sea Island Golf Club has hosted the tournament. The entire club comprises three golf courses of nearly around 7000 yards each. The two golf courses hosting the RSM Classic will be the Seaside Course and the Plantation Course.

Significantly, the pros complete for a score below 70 par the 18 holes on the Seaside Course. It features broad fairways and spacious greens that are beautifully designed beside the Atlantic Ocean. Moreover, the perfectly manicured course also presents excellent challenges for the pros with roughs packed with wildflowers and strategically placed bunkers. C.H. Alison and Harry S. Colt originally designed the course in 1929. The entire course stretches across 7005 yards.

They constructed the Plantation Course a few years before the Seaside Course in 1928. Stretching across 7060 yards, the course is played for 72-par 18 holes. Designed by Walter Travis, the course experienced major reconstructions by Davis Love III and Mark Love in 2018. They lowered the greens a bit to add to the challenges it has to offer. The course is known for its classic features like railroad ties, bulkheads, and a Principal’s Nose design on the 10th.

While details about the course are majorly covered, there is still unexplored territory at the Sea Island Resort.

Guests can enjoy fine dining at the Sea Island Resort

The entire Sea Island Resort comprises three golf courses, an 1888-yard state-of-the-art Performance Center, multiple recreational retreats, and an abundance of hotels and residential areas that have often been recognized for their excellence. In fact, the establishment has received 80 Forbes Five-Star awards since 1928.

The resort also offers 13 different venues to wine and dine for its guests. It also includes a variety of shopping locations for visitors and residents that offer nearly everything from groceries, wines, apparel, sporting equipment, and even bicycles to explore the island.

While the RSM Classic 2024 will be the highlight for many golf enthusiasts this weekend, there is no reason visiting fans can’t take advantage of all the luxuries the venue has to offer. But the exciting competition at the tournament would be something no one wants to miss. Do you think Ludvig Aberg will be able to retain his title at the RSM Classic 2024?
