The Club at Savannah Harbor is on track for an early September reopening, thanks to plentiful rain and sunshine – not the mention the loving attention of the golf grounds crew.
A recent inspection of all 18 greens stoked this writer's anticipation of tournament-quality putting surfaces once the TifEagle grass is fully rooted.

Holes 13-18 still look a little blotchy, but that's because they were sprigged two-to-three weeks after the first 12, owing to delays in delivery of irrigation components, caused by – you guessed it – supply chain issues. Course superintendent Lynn Childress and his staff have been judiciously tweaking fertilizer applications in an effort to close the maturation gap.
Meanwhile, the grounds crew also has been busy leveling and reseeding tee boxes; thinning out native areas that voraciously consume wayward golf balls; and tending to our divot-free fairways, pristine thanks to a summer of no play.
