Georgia Southern University Golf Course

Georgia Southern University Golf Course serves the university and surrounding Statesboro community in southeastern Georgia. Designed by Arthur Davis, the course provides a collegiate golf venue for Georgia Southern's athletic programs while remaining accessible to students, faculty, and public play. The layout reflects the characteristic terrain of the coastal plain region, with relatively gentle topography and stands of pine and hardwood trees framing the corridors. The course functions primarily as a practice and competition facility for the university's golf teams, hosting conference matches and regional collegiate tournaments throughout the academic year. Its design balances the need for competitive challenge with playability for recreational golfers of varying skill levels. The routing takes advantage of natural features common to the area, including modest elevation changes and strategic use of water hazards and bunkers to define playing corridors and green complexes. Statesboro sits roughly midway between Savannah and the Atlantic coast to the east and Macon to the northwest, positioning the course within Georgia's agricultural heartland. The facility supports both the competitive aspirations of Georgia Southern athletics and the recreational needs of the campus community. As a university-owned course, it maintains a straightforward operational model focused on accessibility and supporting the educational mission of the institution's golf programs.
