About Savannah Golf Club
The Savannah Golf Club, established in 1927, holds the distinction of being the oldest municipal golf course in the city. Designed by the legendary Donald Ross, the course showcases his classic design principles with strategic bunkering, elevated greens, and a layout that demands thoughtful shot-making rather than brute force. Ross's vision for a course that is challenging yet fair for golfers of all skill levels is evident throughout, making it a beloved local institution. The course is characterized by its tree-lined fairways and relatively flat terrain, a common feature of the coastal Georgia landscape. While not overly long by modern standards, the subtle undulations of the greens and the precise placement of hazards ensure that golfers must stay sharp from tee to green. The natural beauty of the lowcountry, with its mature oaks and Spanish moss, provides a picturesque backdrop for a round of golf. Playing at Savannah Golf Club offers a journey through golf history. The course has been meticulously maintained to preserve its historical integrity while providing modern playing conditions. It's an excellent example of classic golf architecture, offering a pure golf experience that emphasizes strategy and finesse. The welcoming atmosphere and affordable rates make it a popular choice for both local residents and visitors looking to experience a piece of Savannah's rich golfing heritage.

Tips for Playing Savannah Golf Club
When playing Savannah Golf Club, pay close attention to the greens. Donald Ross was famous for his green complexes, and these are no exception. They often feature subtle slopes and false fronts that can make approach shots tricky, so aim for the center of the green to avoid difficult chips or long putts. Additionally, the course can play longer than its yardage suggests when the wind picks up, so factor that into your club selection, especially on the more open holes. Hydration is key, especially during the warmer months in Savannah. Make sure to bring plenty of water or utilize the on-course facilities. The course is relatively walkable, but a cart can be a welcome relief in the summer heat. After your round, consider visiting the historic clubhouse, which offers a glimpse into the club's long history and provides a comfortable spot for a post-round drink or meal.
