The Savannah Course at Stevinson Ranch completed in September 1995 and site of the 1996 and 1997 U. S. Open Qualifying has garnered many awards. Golf Digest not only rated the course the "Best New Upscale Public Course in California" for 1996, they returned in 1997 to rank it in the "Top 25" of all California courses. But perhaps the best award of all has come from those that have played the Savannah Course. Most recently the readers of Golf Digest awarded it 4 1/2 Stars out of a possible five for the overall golf experience. Only Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill of Pebble Beach rated higher in California.

The Savannah Course is the first course in California to attain "Signature" status with Audubon International for it's dedication to environmental excellence, and was presented with the coveted Squaw Creek award by the California Golf Writers Association.

Designed by John Harbottle III and George H. Kelley, the Savannah Course is a throwback to the early days of golf architecture in America, importing the character and traditions of the great Scottish Links courses.

Many acres of existing wetlands have been preserved and utilized as natural hazards, blending the natural terrain and native grasses with a links touch.

There are various ways to play each hole in adherence to the risk-reward theory of design. Sand, water, hollows and native grasses securely guard each green.
