Set along the Savannah River, this course pairs timeless design principles with the natural elegance of surrounding marshlands.

For golfers seeking a calm, enjoyable round away from the coast, it’s a perfect escape into a wooded landscape.
Crosswinds Golf Club – Savannah, GA
Designer: Mike Kistler / Rusty Simmons (2000)
Located amid Savannah’s classic Lowcountry terrain, Crosswinds blends open marsh views, tall pines, and winding creeks into a friendly yet strategic layout.

Water is thoughtfully incorporated throughout, rewarding precise shot-making and offering a casual, scenic round ideal for all levels.
Plan Your Next Trip the Right Way
Insider Notes:
Savannah’s golf is best enjoyed at an easy, unhurried pace, and the courses reward that mindset. Afternoon breezes often roll in off the river and marsh, especially at Savannah Harbor and Crosswinds, so keeping the ball flight slightly lower can help control distance on approach shots and par 3s. Georgia Southern offers a different rhythm altogether, favoring accuracy and gentle shot-shaping through its tree-lined corridors. Throughout the region, expect to see herons drifting over the marsh, egrets along the edges, and the occasional alligator sunning near the water. After your round, explore Savannah’s historic squares or stroll along the riverfront for a perfect finish to the day.
