The Ford Field & River Club has been featured in Links Magazine’s Annual Premier Properties Guide 2025, securing its place among the nation’s top private golf communities. This authoritative publication, which serves as a comprehensive resource for luxury golf real estate buyers, showcases elite properties that exemplify exceptional living. The Ford’s inclusion reflects its exceptional world-class amenities and architectural excellence, all set against the picturesque backdrop of Georgia’s coastal landscape.
At the heart of the feature is The Ford’s renowned Pete Dye-designed golf course, a masterpiece often referred to as his “finest Southern design.” The article describes how the overseeded winter ryegrass maintains vibrant fairways and greens throughout the year. With just 9,000 annual rounds and no tee times required, members enjoy golf as it was meant to be played—relaxed and unhurried. The course itself tells two stories: a front nine that winds through stately oaks and mirror-like lakes, while the back nine unfolds as a links-style journey alongside coastal waters and native grasses.
While golf remains a cornerstone, Links Magazine also highlights the richness of life at The Ford. From the deepwater marina to the historic Main House, once the winter retreat of Clara and Henry Ford, the community offers an unparalleled connection to nature and heritage. The Ford’s commitment to conservation is also noted, with its designation as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, reflecting a dedication to preserving its 1,800 acres of pristine land and waterways.
The publication also highlights The Ford’s upcoming $22.5 million amenity enhancement program, the largest investment of its kind by a member-owned community in the region. Plans include a new 48,000-square-foot practice facility, complete with an expansive short game area and a family putting course. Social spaces will flourish with new fire pits and dining patios, while the Clubhouse will welcome members with redesigned locker rooms and an enhanced bar opening to the 18th hole.
