Hunter Golf Club

Hunter Golf Club occupies a wooded site in Savannah, Georgia, designed by George Cobb and opened in the 1960s. Cobb, a prolific architect active throughout the mid-20th century in the southeastern United States, created numerous courses across Georgia, the Carolinas, and Florida. His work typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural terrain and vegetation of each site. Hunter reflects this approach with a layout that moves through mature pines and hardwoods characteristic of the Georgia coastal plain. The course features tree-lined fairways and modest elevation changes typical of the region's topography. Water hazards appear on several holes, adding strategic interest to approach shots and requiring accuracy off the tee. The greens are generally medium-sized and moderately contoured, consistent with Cobb's design philosophy of creating challenges that reward solid ball-striking without becoming overly penal. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural corridors through the forest, creating a sense of seclusion on many holes. Hunter serves as a semi-private facility and has been part of Savannah's golf community for several decades. The club provides a traditional golf experience in a setting that emphasizes the natural beauty of the Lowcountry landscape. Its location in Savannah places it within a region with a long golf history, though Hunter itself operates primarily as a local club rather than a destination course. The layout remains largely true to Cobb's original design, offering a straightforward test of golf amid the area's distinctive vegetation and terrain.
