Thinking About Living in The Savannah Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands The Savannah Golf Club and the surrounding Savannah Metro golf market.
The Savannah Golf Club is a private, in-town Savannah institution whose lineage traces to a golf club founded in 1794 -- a claim, on a non-continuous basis, to being among the oldest golf clubs in North America. The present club was re-established in 1899, apparently without full knowledge of that earlier history, and its Donald Ross-designed course opened in 1926-27 on the site of the old Civil War-era Fort Boggs.
Golf & Course
The 18-hole Donald Ross design plays 6,338 yards from the longest tees to a par of 72 (course rating 70.5, slope 127 on Bermuda grass).
