Savannah Golf Guide
Golf in Savannah
Home to the oldest golf club in America and a collection of championship courses set among live oaks, marshes, and coastal islands.
Savannah's golfing heritage stretches back to 1794, when Scottish settlers founded what is now the oldest golf club in the United States. Today the city and its surrounding coastal region offer a range of courses — from historic parkland layouts draped in Spanish moss to championship resort tracks with river and marsh views. Whether you're a serious golfer chasing a bucket-list round or a casual player looking for a relaxed afternoon on the fairway, Savannah delivers.
