Savannah, Georgia
Following a transformative $5 million renovation in 2025, Oakridge at The Landings now offers firmer playing surfaces, sharp drainage, and expanded green surrounds in a classic coastal-parkland setting. The course rewards shot variety and rewards smart play, cementing its role as a standout within this flagship private Georgia club.
Oakridge’s 2025 renovation has rewritten the playbook for Lowcountry parkland golf. The routing’s clever use of native marshlands and oaks frames both challenge and beauty, while the vastly improved greens complexes and upgraded grass bring a true modern edge. The course now presents wide target areas off the tee and larger, more interesting putting surfaces, all maintained to top standards. It’s a thinking player’s course with room for the artist and the tactician alike.
Arthur Hills’s smooth, strategic routing foundation meets Bill Bergin’s contemporary eye and player-friendly renovations.
