At The Ford Field & River Club, golf brings members together, creating lasting friendships and shared passion for the sport through every round played. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of our Lowcountry haven, our Girls on the Green (GONG) program is a perfect reflection of this spirit, offering golfers of all skill levels the opportunity to embrace the game in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Played on our award-winning, 250-acre course—masterfully designed by the legendary Pete Dye—GONG has become a cornerstone of The Ford, where fun and a shared appreciation for golf come together.
Our course immerses players in a landscape shaped by coastline, meadows and freshwater lakes, providing a unique and balanced challenge. With a parkland-style front nine and a links-style back nine, it’s designed to offer a rewarding experience for golfers of every skill level. And with no tee times required, members enjoy the unparalleled flexibility to play at their own pace, whenever they wish.
At the heart of Girls on the Green lies a simple belief: golf should spark joy, not frustration. From complete beginners to experienced players, GONG welcomes all members to step onto the green with confidence and curiosity. Under the guidance of Director of Golf Pete Vitiello and his expert team, our thoughtfully crafted events encourage personal growth while keeping enjoyment at the forefront.
