Bacon Park, a Savannah municipal treasure, whispers tales of a bygone era where the game was as much about camaraderie as competition. Its Golden Age design, carved through the coastal Georgia landscape, offers a parkland experience defined by gently rolling fairways and strategically placed bunkers that subtly punish imprecision. The course generally favors a strategic rather than bomb-and-gouge approach. Many approach shots play longer than expected and doglegs bring a unique course management aspect to this classic design. Originally conceived by Donald Ross associate Henry Hughes, with later enhancements by Sam P. Davis, Bacon Park reflects a classic architectural sensibility. Its relatively short layout demands thoughtful shot-making and rewards creativity around the greens, a welcome departure from today's power-driven game. While not a regular stop on the professional tour, Bacon Park is woven into the fabric of Savannah golf. It is a hub for local tournaments and friendly matches, a place where generations have learned and loved the game. The club is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and affordable rates, making golf accessible to all.
