Savannah Country Club
Savannah Country Club combines a coastal golf setting with a private, well-maintained 18-hole layout that challenges precision and strategy. Opening possibilities for players seeking a balanced yet testing round, the course integrates natural marsh features and consistent playing conditions within a quiet, refined golfing environment.
Course Overview
Savannah Country Club offers an 18-hole private golf experience where tradition meets a well-crafted playing field. Located on Wilmington Island just outside downtown Savannah, Georgia, this course presents a charming coastal profile that weaves natural marshlands and water features into a layout that appeals to a broad range of golfers. The course maintains a meticulous balance between challenge and playability, inviting players to test precision off the tee while rewarding strategic shot-making around its well-contoured greens.
The terrain reflects low-lying coastal land, punctuated by creeks and ponds that influence several holes without overwhelming the golfer. Fairways are generous but guarded by bunkers that demand thoughtful placement, especially on approach shots. Throughout the round, subtle elevation changes introduce variation in lies and stance. Wind off the nearby waters becomes a variable to consider, particularly in afternoon rounds, requiring a steady tempo and clear club selection.
This private club environment emphasizes quality over quantity, with lush fairways and consistent green speeds that hold true to championship standards. While the course holds appeal for players looking to sharpen their accuracy and course management, it remains approachable for mid-handicappers aiming to enjoy the challenge without excessive penalty.
The clubhouse overlooks the eighteenth green and adjacent lake, providing an inviting setting for post-round reflection or socializing. Facilities include a driving range and practice areas, designed to help guests hone their swing before stepping onto the course. Savannah Country Club’s atmosphere encourages walking, enhancing the connection to the layout and environment, although carts are available as needed.
With its blend of coastal setting, thoughtful design, and member-focused atmosphere, Savannah Country Club offers an engaging round within Georgia’s golf-rich landscape. Whether preparing for a competitive match or a leisurely day of play, visitors find a course that rewards attention to detail and offers scenic beauty without distraction.
Course Highlights
The course features strategic use of coastal marshes and water hazards that come into play on several key holes, demanding precise shot-shaping. Bunkers protect well-maintained, subtle contoured greens which require thoughtful approach shots and delicate putting. The clubhouse’s elevated vantage point provides panoramic views and serves as a social hub following rounds. Practice facilities include a comprehensive driving range and short game area, enhancing preparation for rounds.

The Savannah Country Club (formerly the Wilmington Island Club) was the most perfect venue for our wedding reception! The ballroom was remodeled over the summer with neutral tones and looks very classy. Our reception was very elegant and it was everything we had imagined it to be. The outdoor area is beautiful and made for some lovely photos as well. Ashli Godwin, who is the food and beverage director, was a dream to work with. She was very helpful and responsive during all the months of planning. She helped coordinate our food tasting, design our dinner menu, and pick out what we wanted to serve at the bar. You get so many options to pick from and she will make sure it's everything you want. Dinner was by far the best part - we did a multi-course meal that started with two plated appetizers, soup, and a choice between two main entrees. We also had options for our few vegetarian guests. The chef, Frank Schuman, did an incredible job with the dinner course and the club's staff executed the dinner service so perfectly. It was very important to us to have plenty of food for our guests and we were not disappointed. Everything was delicious and tasted even better than we expected. The club was fantastic with working with us to fine tune our reception until it was perfect. We can't thank Ashli, Frank, and all of their staff enough for a perfect night.

The entire staff was incredibly rude with the exception of the cart guy. Micheal in the pro shop was unprofessional and acted like a complete jerk. And he also smelt like alcohol. I will never be back even if I was offered to play for free

Very well maintained and relatively challenging golf course! Really nicely laid out, the clubhouse folks are super nice and just a wonderful day of golf! Came for one day to play with a couple of friends and they have a really nice driving range too. Awesome place!

The Savannah Country Club was the host for the Summer Swing fundraiser for the Fresh Air Home on Tybee Island. The fundraiser was a success! The food, staff, and location was great. Our guest had a grand time. Thank you for supporting the Fresh Air Home on Tybee Island.

Celebrated Dad's 91st Birthday in Heron Room at the Savannah Country Club. The room was beautiful overlooking the golf course and lake. Kirsten arranged floral table center pieces with hydrangeas flowers that were just beautiful. The food was well prepared, delicious, and warm. Our event included sound and audio-visual presentation that went perfectly. Our guests enjoyed the bar and dinner in a beautiful setting. The Savannah Country Club Team were warm and friendly. I couldn't recommend them more highly for your special event.
