Forest Lakes is an established golf course community in Pooler, Georgia offering spacious homes, mature landscaping, and convenient access to Savannah, I-95, I-16, and Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport.
Forest Lakes is one of Pooler’s most established and recognizable residential communities. Centered around the Forest Lakes Golf Club, this neighborhood offers a traditional suburban setting with larger homes, mature trees, and golf course frontage in select sections. Its location just minutes from I-95, I-16, Pooler Parkway, and Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport makes it especially appealing to executives, aviation professionals, port employees, and commuters working throughout the greater Savannah region.
Developed primarily in the early 2000s, Forest Lakes features a mix of brick and traditional-style homes with generous square footage, two- and three-car garages, and well-proportioned lots. Many properties include golf course views, lagoon frontage, or wooded privacy. Compared to newer construction neighborhoods in Pooler, Forest Lakes offers more established landscaping and a neighborhood feel that has matured over time.
The Forest Lakes Golf Club serves as a focal point for the community. While not structured like a private residential sporting club tied to property ownership, the course and clubhouse create an executive-style atmosphere that enhances the neighborhood’s overall appeal. Residents who enjoy golf appreciate the convenience of living steps from the fairways, while others value the scenic open space and added separation between homes.
Forest Lakes is also ideally positioned near Pooler’s expanding retail and dining corridor, including shopping centers, medical offices, entertainment venues, and grocery options. Downtown Savannah is a short drive away, and Tybee Island, Bluffton, and Hilton Head are easily accessible for weekend coastal outings. This connectivity, combined with West Chatham County schools and strong infrastructure, has supported steady demand and resale activity within the community.
The Forest Lakes real estate market typically attracts move-up buyers, relocation clients, and professionals seeking space without leaving the Pooler area. Inventory can be limited due to long-term homeowners and consistent buyer interest. Golf frontage, updated interiors, and premium lot positioning often command higher resale values.
For buyers seeking an established Pooler golf community with executive-level homes and commuter convenience, Forest Lakes remains one of the most balanced and well-positioned neighborhoods in the Savannah metro area.
