General Info

n First week in May 2010, 3^rd thru the 6th.  Arriving Monday.

n Golf on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

n Touring in Savannah itself any time.  Lots to do there.  See the paper on “Things to Do”.  Historic Savannah is about 10 miles

n Staying on SW side of Savannah at intersection of I-95 and 204. Exit 94.  See Map #1

n Lots of restaurants within ¼ mile plus an outlet mall

n Let me know if you are planning to come.  You make your own individual reservations.  I’ll keep a list and send it out so you know who else is coming.

Lodging

n At the Intersection of I-95 and Hwy 204, exit 94.  See Map #2

n I have $69 group rate at the Hampton Inn.  Code “AFA”.  The $69 rate lasts until April 5^th, so register now.

n Telephone:  912-921-1515

n Web Address:  www.savannah95southgatesuites.hampton.com

n Exercise Room, Complimentary Breakfast, and a Hospitality Room near the lobby area.

n The lodging area is on the SW side of Savannah.  Close to the golf courses and about a 20 minute drive into downtown Savannah.  See the “Things to Do” paper for folks who aren’t interested in playing golf.

Golf

n There are 4 or 5 commercial courses within about 15 miles of where we’re staying.

n Weekday rates are all pretty similar – in the $35-$40 range.

n Have talked to all the pros and we can get block tees times in the 1000 timeframe

n We can have lunch added at a group rate but I’d need to know if folks wanted to do that or just do their own thing either at the course or elsewhere.

My personal preferences

n Black Creek.  www.blackcreekgolfclub.com/ Short, sort of quirky, but challenging.  Play it Tuesday. 

n Crosswinds.  www.crosswindsgolfclub.com/ Near the airport.  Longer, windswept. 

Play it Wednesday

n Southbridge.  www.southbridgegolfclub.com/ Pretty good.  Tough from the back tees.  Play it Thursday

Hunter AAF is not far (5+ miles) and Ft Stewart (20 miles).  OK, typical military courses, not too hard
