The Ford Plantation is a private coastal sporting community set along Georgia's coast, just south of Savannah on the Ogeechee River. With a rich history dating back to 1734, this property was once a productive rice plantation and later a winter retreat for Henry Ford. Today it is a private sporting club with Low Country-inspired residences situated on 1,800 majestic acres. Shaded by ancient oaks with deep water frontage on the Ogeechee River, only 400 owners will have the privilege of calling The Ford Plantation home. We offer homesites from $100,000 to over $2 million and homes from $575,000 to over $4 million. A multigenerational membership structure offers members and their families access to a wealth of activities including golf on our Pete Dye course (which he calls "arguably my finest southern design"), equestrian, fishing, boating, racquet sports, swimming, sporting clays, hiking, biking, wellness services, and fitness training. The club also offers superb regional cuisine in its full service dining facilities, a full complement of luxurious spa services, a resident naturalist, and licensed professional hunting and fishing guides in our Outdoor Pursuits Department.

FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing The Ford Field & River Club and what to expect.
The Ford Field & River Club is regarded as a strategically complex layout. With a slope of 129.0, it remains playable for a wide handicap range. The course rating of 74.0 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 4576 yards. The back tees extend to 5763.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 74.0 and par 72, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 72 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
Measuring 5763.0 yards at maximum length, strategy outweighs power in most scoring situations.
The Ford Field & River Club is designed as a Parkland layout. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
The combination of a slope rating of 129.0 and yardage reaching 5763.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
