The Ford Plantation
Golf Course
The Ford Plantation features a premier Pete Dye-designed
championship course with two distinctive nine-hole
challenges: the front nine is designed around 250 acres
of freshwater lakes, and the back nine resembles a great
Scottish links-type course, with holes placed among the
Plantation’s original rice fields. Mr. Dye calls his Ford
course “arguably my finest southern design.”
Fishing, Hunting,
and The Great
OUtdoors
The Ford Plantation has 200 acres of fresh
and brackish water lagoons, providing excel-
lent fishing for such species as largemouth
bass, bluegill, crappie, catfish, redfish,
and flounder. Anglers can fish for a wide
variety of fresh and saltwater species in
the Ogeechee River, including striped bass,
American shad, redfish, and sea trout. The
remnant channels and canals from the ante-
bellum rice plantations provide outstanding
habitat for many game fish. You can also
take an enjoyable ride through protected
waters to Ossabaw Sound, where the ocean
meets the river. Fishing for salt water spe-
cies, such as giant red drum, sea trout, triple
tail, and shark is fun for the novice angler,
as well as the seasoned pro. Tarpon appear
in our waters in late June and can be caught
through early September. Ford offers hiking
and biking on more than 16 miles of scenic
trails and kayaking on protected waterways.
