Savanna Golf Club

Savanna Golf Club sits in Port St. Lucie on Florida's Treasure Coast, designed by Charles Ankrom and opened in the late 1990s as part of the residential community development that characterizes much of this region. Ankrom, a Florida-based architect who has worked extensively throughout the state, routed the course through native scrub and wetland terrain typical of the area, incorporating the natural vegetation and water features that define golf in this part of southeastern Florida. The layout makes use of the property's modest elevation changes and preserves areas of palmetto, pine, and oak that frame many holes. Water comes into play on a significant portion of the routing, reflecting both the natural hydrology of the region and the design conventions of Florida golf in this era. The course serves primarily as an amenity for the surrounding residential community, though it welcomes outside play as well. Savanna represents the kind of accessible, daily-fee golf that expanded rapidly in Florida during the development boom of the 1990s and early 2000s. The course offers a straightforward test suited to a range of skill levels, with enough length and strategic interest to engage regular players while remaining playable for higher handicappers. The setting provides the natural Florida landscape experience common to the Port St. Lucie area, which has become one of the state's significant golf markets over the past few decades.
