A New Way to Belong: National Membership at The Ford

Published on

A newly reimagined National Membership now invites a select number of individuals to experience life inside the gates of The Ford Field & River Club. Open to those whose primary residence is more than 100 miles away, this exclusive non-resident membership offers limited annual access to one of the nation’s finest private golf and sporting club communities.

Enjoy up to 45 days each year immersed in the best of Lowcountry life—from sunrise rounds on our Pete Dye-designed championship golf course with no tee times, to boating and fishing on the Ogeechee River, to quiet evenings at the historic Main House, once the winter retreat of Clara and Henry Ford. Steeped in history and surrounded by natural beauty, The Ford offers a lifestyle that’s both timeless and entirely your own.
