Courses near Savannah, GA

[Sazgolf]

Going to be in Savannah and on Hiton Head Island during Masters week. Any ideas for places to play? Looking to keep it less than $125 a round.

I generally like the order designed courses, but anywhere will work for this snow bird.

Thanks.

Hilton Head Island, South Carolina is about a 45 minute car drive from downtown Savannah and offer tonssss of golf. Including the Harbor Town course, a Dye-designed track that hosts the Verizon Heritage (formerly MCI Heritage) PGA Tour event. In-season greens fees are about $250, but its still pretty early, if you can get on it might be about $150ish. There are also a handful of excellent courses in the immediate area, but watch out for there are some real dogs.

Thanks for the reply. I will be there the week before the MCI, so I won't be able to get on. Staying in Savannah one night and on HHI two nights, I believe at the Palmetto Dunes complex.

Saw there were some Donald Ross designed courses in Savannah. Any comments on those?

I haven't played anywhere near Savannah, but I've played one of the Palmetto Dunes courses. "The Marsh Course" is a real dog track, stay away from that if you get the chance, but I hear the "Ocean Course" is pretty solid, didn't get to play it though.

Stayed and played at the Palmetto Dunes complex. Played the Robert Trent Jones Course it was nice. The course I liked best while I was there was Hilton Head National . They have 27 holes there and 18 were great the other 9 were so so and unfortunately I cannot remember which was which. Try it out though it was a lot of fun. Make sure you at least go see Harbor town and walk out on the 18th green. Wow its small!

To bring this back up - I'm going to be in Savannah mid Nov with time on my hands. Any suggestions for an inexpensive (<$50 w/cart would be nice) round?

Thanks!

I just checked my trusty Golf Digest "Places to Play" golf course bible, and under Savannah, it lists . . . . all the Hilton Head Island courses!

Everything within 15 miles of Savannah is 2.5 stars or less (out of five).
