Few clubs in the American South carry a name as loaded with regional character as Palmetto — the state tree of neighboring South Carolina, a symbol of Low Country identity that signals exactly the kind of golf you're stepping into here. Savannah itself is one of the great golf towns of the Southeast, its warm, humid climate and Spanish-moss-draped landscape producing a sensory experience that's distinctly its own. Playing here means playing in a place where the land is flat and coastal, where sea breezes can rewrite a club selection in an instant, and where the line between fairway and wetland demands respect.
Savannah's golf scene reflects the city's broader character — unhurried, rooted in tradition, and quietly confident. A private members' club atmosphere in this part of Georgia tends toward the classic and understated rather than the showy resort experience.
Without insider knowledge of Palmetto's specific architect or founding history, what's certain is that any 18-hole layout here earns its personality from the terrain — marshland edges, tall pines, and a coastal Georgia light that makes late-afternoon rounds genuinely beautiful.
