Savannah Golf Club

Savannah Golf Club traces its institutional history to 1794 — the club claims this founding date as one of the earliest organized golf clubs in the United States, though continuous documented operation is more recent. The current course occupies a piece of Savannah, Georgia coastal land along the Wilmington River, and the modern routing reflects multiple eras of architectural work through the property's long history. The Savannah connection to early American golf — alongside the South Carolina Golf Club at Charleston (1786) and similar very-early Southern clubs — places the property in a small group of American clubs with credible 18th-century institutional claims.

The course plays around 6,500 yards par 70 from the back markers, with bermuda fairways and a slope in the upper 130s. The yardage is short by modern championship standards, but the routing's institutional history and the natural Savannah-area coastal terrain give the property significance independent of contemporary architectural evaluation. The fairways play firm given the Savannah coastal subsoil. The mature live-oak canopy through the property gives the routing visual signature consistent with the broader Savannah-area landscape.

Savannah Golf Club is private and access is members and accompanied guests only. The membership is regional Savannah and coastal Georgia business and professional families. The institutional history claim through American golf's pre-Revolutionary roots is the primary identity, and the hospitality model is traditional country club.

Coastal Georgia climate keeps Savannah Golf Club playable year-round, with the firmest conditions in October through April. Summer humidity and afternoon thunderstorms compress mid-day rounds through July and August. The Atlantic-influenced marine breeze gives the property reliable afternoon cooling.
