Landscapes Unlimited is nearing completion of a golf course enhancements project at Ocean Forest Golf Club in Sea Island, Ga.

In collaboration with Beau Welling Design (BWD), Landscapes Unlimited is reconstructing all 18 tee and green complexes with more than 37 acres of new grass surfaces and reimagining fairway bunkers.

A new irrigation system installation will also conclude in July, and the course will reopen this fall. Landscapes Unlimited worked closely with club superintendent Lucas Walters, USGA agronomist Jordan Booth and BWD Group Partners.

“The teamwork of Beau Welling and Landscapes Unlimited is, hands-down, all-star caliber,” Walters said. “They work with speed and precision on a design that prioritizes golfer enjoyment along with efficiencies for the maintenance crew.”

Owned by Sea Island Company, the 7,321-yard course opened in 1995 and hosted the 2001 Walker Cup. It will also host the 20th playing of the Jones Cup Invitational in 2024.

“Ocean Forest Golf Club is a spectacular club that defines the best in coastal Georgia golf and hospitality,” said Jake Riekstins, chief development officer of Landscapes Unlimited. “Our company’s field teams take pride in a job well done at this prestigious club, which is foundational to partner referrals and re-engagements.”
