Savannah Lakes Village & Golf Clubs

Minutes From Augusta

By Brian Weis

Located minutes from the golf mecca of Augusta, this affordable member-owned lakefront sporting community boasts two lakefront golf courses and amazing scenic beauty.

Number can only begin to tell the story. A 4,000-acre lakefront sporting community nestled in 63,368 acres of national forests and state parks along the 70,000 acre Lake Thurmond. Two award winning golf courses and 2,000 primary and vacation home residents. Only 35 minutes from Augusta, GA. The rest must be felt in the breeze as it passes over the water, heard in the strike of a club or a tennis racket against a ball, experienced from the seat of a bike or a kayak, or shared with a sunset cruise on the lake with friends.

All this - combined with the security of living in an established, member-owned community - adds up to one enviable, yet affordable lifestyle for the residents of Savannah Lakes Village. The community's scenic Monticello and Tara golf courses wind around the rolling forested shoreline. Property ownership in the community includes membership into all member owned amenities. There are no initiation fees to join the golf clubs, and members can choose from reasonably priced unlimited annual play packages or daily fees as low as $23 including cart.

And here are a few more numbers: Six lake and golf front neighborhoods offering lake, golf, and interior lake-access homesites. New homes ranging from $149,999 to $850,000 and homesites from 20,000 to $250,000. Zero initiation fees or monthly minimums at the club, and monthly dues less than $100 per month. One special place to call home.

All of his life, Brian has been around the game of golf. As a youngster, Brian competed at all levels in junior and high school golf. Brian had a zero chance for a college golf scholarship, so he worked on the grounds crew at West Bend Country Club to pay for his University of Wisconsin education. In his adult years, his passion for the game collided with his entrepreneurial spirit and in 2004 launched GolfWisconsin.com. In 2007, the idea for a network of local golf directory sites formed and GolfTrips.com was born. Today, the network consists of a site in all 50 states supported by national sites like GolfTrips.com, GolfGuide.com and GolfPackages.com. It is an understatement to say, Brian is passionate about promoting golf and golf travel on a local, regional, national and international level.

On the golf course, Brian is known as a fierce weekend warrior that fluctuates between a 5-9 handicap. With a soft fade, known as "The Weis Slice", and booming 300+ drives, he can blast it out of bounds with the best of them.
