If you have kids that aren’t quite into the traditional game of golf, take them to the golf course at Sea Palms Resort and Conference Center on St. Simons Island to try foot golf. Foot golf is similar to traditional golf except instead of hitting a ball with a club, you hit a soccer ball with your feet to see who can reach the special hole in the least amount of kicks. The Sea Palms course has everything from Par 3 to Par 5 holes, and it's lots of fun for the entire family.
