The Ford Field & River Club is a private, member-owned sporting club in Richmond Hill, Georgia offering luxury homes, a Pete Dye championship golf course, equestrian facilities, deepwater marina access, and Henry Ford's historic winter estate set along the Ogeechee River.
The Ford Field & River Club in Richmond Hill, Georgia is one of the Southeast’s most distinguished private residential sporting clubs. Set along the scenic Ogeechee River just south of Savannah, this gated, member-owned community combines historic significance, Southern sporting tradition, and refined coastal luxury. Ownership at The Ford is uniquely structured — club membership is tied directly to property ownership, ensuring an exclusive environment reserved solely for residents.
Homes for sale at The Ford typically begin around the $1 million mark for thoughtfully designed cottages and golf course homes, with riverfront estates and equestrian properties exceeding $5 million. Architectural styles reflect classic Lowcountry influences, featuring wide porches, metal roofs, elevated foundations, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Homesites are intentionally spacious, preserving privacy and maintaining the integrity of the community’s master plan. Whether positioned along the Pete Dye fairways, tucked into wooded preserves, or overlooking the Ogeechee River, each residence is designed to complement the natural landscape.
The 18-hole Pete Dye championship golf course is a defining amenity, offering both strategic challenge and sweeping marsh and river views. Beyond golf, The Ford provides a 22-stall equestrian center with riding trails, a full-service deepwater marina with access to the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean, luxury spa services, a modern fitness center, tennis, pickleball, fine and casual dining, and a vibrant calendar of social and sporting events. The lifestyle is multi-generational and deeply rooted in outdoor recreation, tradition, and community.
At the heart of the property stands the historic Main House — Henry Ford’s winter estate built in the 1930s. Overlooking the Ogeechee River, this preserved residence serves as a gathering place for members and a symbol of The Ford’s legacy. Stepping inside feels like stepping back in time, with carefully maintained interiors that reflect the estate’s heritage. The Main House also includes five guest sleeping rooms for members and prospective buyers participating in a Discovery Visit, offering an immersive introduction to the community before purchasing.
Because membership is directly tied to property ownership, buying or selling within The Ford requires specialized expertise. Initiation fees, membership categories, transfer structures, architectural review guidelines, and limited inventory all play a role in pricing and resale strategy. The Ford real estate market is niche, highly competitive, and distinct from traditional luxury communities.

We understand the nuances of valuation at the $1–5+ million price point, the importance of positioning waterfront and golf properties correctly, and the intricacies of the club’s membership process. In a community where discretion and expertise matter, informed representation makes a measurable difference.
For those seeking riverfront beauty, historic depth, world-class sporting amenities, and true privacy along the Georgia coast, The Ford Field & River Club offers one of the region’s most exceptional ownership opportunities.
