TFP's golf staff is pleased to offer a special Summer Guest Rate of $50 to all guests of members. This rate applies to accompanied or unaccompanied guests of a member, and includes greens fees and a cart.

The golf staff is also excited to offer golf opportunities at other area clubs, for members only and on a limited basis, through our involvement in a special Summer Reciprocal Program with select local clubs in the Savannah and Bluffton/Hilton Head Island areas. Tee times must be arranged through the professional staff to receive the discounted rate and will be subject to availability at the hosting club; please call the Golf Shop for more details.

Our special Summer Guest Rate went into effect June 1 and will continue through September. The Summer Reciprocal Program is also underway and will be available through September, as well. We encourage you to introduce your friends to The Ford Plantation this summer--we'll take great care of them here at TFP!
