Lost Plantation Golf Club

Lost Plantation Golf Club sits in Rincon, Georgia, a small city roughly twenty miles northwest of Savannah in the coastal plain region of the state. The course was designed by Ward Northrup, a Georgia-based architect who has worked primarily in the southeastern United States since the 1990s. Northrup's designs typically emphasize playability across skill levels while incorporating natural land features and native vegetation characteristic of their settings. The Rincon area occupies transitional terrain between the coastal marshlands near Savannah and the interior pine forests of Georgia's coastal plain. Courses in this region generally feature relatively flat to gently rolling topography with sandy soils, stands of longleaf and loblolly pine, and occasional wetland areas. The name "Lost Plantation" reflects the historical agricultural character of the broader Lowcountry, where rice and cotton plantations once dominated the landscape before the Civil War. As a daily-fee facility in a growing suburban corridor, Lost Plantation serves both local residents and visitors to the Savannah area. The course provides a regional option for golfers seeking an accessible round outside the more heavily trafficked resort courses closer to the coast. Northrup's routing likely takes advantage of the natural pine corridors and any existing water features to create strategic variety without requiring extensive earthmoving, a common approach for courses developed in this part of Georgia during the early 2000s.
