Savannah Country Club

Savannah Country Club occupies the interior of Wilmington Island, nine miles east of downtown Savannah and bordered by tidal creeks that feed the Wilmington River. The property centers on an 18-hole course that the club identifies as a 1927 Donald Ross design, today presented as par 71 at roughly 6,936 yards from the back markers, with multiple forward sets down to under 4,800 yards. A practice range, short-game area and putting green sit beside a low-profile clubhouse; tennis, pickleball, pool, and fitness facilities round out the private-club program. The playing character is Lowcountry parkland: broad corridors framed by live oaks and pines, limited native elevation, and greens defended by flanking bunkers and edge fall-offs rather than forced water carries. The club emphasizes that its routing traces back to the General Oglethorpe era and markets the layout’s Ross lineage as its defining feature. From a visitor’s standpoint, the course asks for position off the tee to create angles into slightly raised targets, with scorecard length moderated by wind off the marshes and firm summer turf.
