Henderson Golf Club

Henderson Golf Club sits in the Lowcountry landscape near Savannah, where the coastal plain's flat terrain and natural wetlands shape the character of golf in the region. Mike Young, a Georgia-based architect known for his work throughout the Southeast, designed the course to work within this environment. The routing takes advantage of the area's native vegetation, including live oaks, pines, and marsh grasses that frame holes and define playing corridors. The course reflects Young's approach to strategic design, offering multiple routes and angles of play suited to different skill levels. Golfers encounter water hazards and wetland areas that are characteristic of Lowcountry golf, requiring thoughtful club selection and course management. The relatively flat topography means that visual interest comes from the arrangement of hazards, the shaping of greens and surrounds, and the natural beauty of the setting rather than dramatic elevation change. Henderson serves as a daily-fee facility in the Savannah golf market, providing access to a Mike Young design for both residents and visitors exploring the region's golf offerings. The course fits within the broader context of Savannah-area golf, where courses must balance playability with the challenges presented by the coastal environment. The layout offers a straightforward test of golf that emphasizes accuracy and strategy over length, typical of courses designed to accommodate a range of players while respecting the natural limitations and opportunities of the site.
