Time for a holiday, possibly close to sea and golf course (7)
I believe the answer is:
augusta
'course' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for augusta that I've seen before include "23 [LOVELACE] 's first name" , "Female name; capital of state of Maine" , "Place in Georgia" , "US city" , "Georgian city, noted for golf tournaments" .)
