The Course – The Savannah Golf Club (Par 72, 6036 yards): The Donald Ross designed 18-hole championship golf course provides a challenge to golfers of all skill levels yet is member-friendly. Historic Civil War bunkers line fairways, moss draped oaks and unique water features give way to natural undulations of topography and give the course and geography a feel that makes it both memorable and walkable. Most recently, famed course restoration architect, Gil Hanse has developed and implemented a grand restoration plan and restored the original Donald Ross design back to life.
