The Landings Clubannounced today that it has been awarded the prestigious Distinguished Emerald Club of the World award.

Distinguished Emerald Club designations are determined by BoardRoom magazine and awarded to only the top five percent of private clubs worldwide using a proprietary rating system to evaluate a club's Member Experience.

The Landings Club on Skidaway Island in Savannah, Georgia, is one of the largest private residential clubs on the east coast. The Landings Club's amenities include six championship golf courses, a 48,000 square foot fitness and wellness center, seven restaurants, five pools, four clubhouses, a robust court sports complex for tennis, pickleball and bocce ball, and two marinas. Despite the unparalleled quantity and quality of amenities offered for one membership, Executive Director Steven Freund says the Distinguished Emerald Club award is really about the people who make The Landings Club member experience unforgettable.

"The Landings Club Board of Governors, members and professional staff are truly honored to be designated as a Distinguished Emerald Club of the World," said Freund. "Our unwavering commitment to providing the best possible facilities and service to all members, their families and guests is tied directly to the Mission and Values that drive our operations. Our staff and members deserve all the credit for this prestigious award; it is the people working and living on Skidaway Island who truly make our Club the most desirable private club in the Southeast."

For fine private clubs that operate at the highest standards, BoardRoom magazine's Distinguished Clubs award program uses a club-specific rating system that recognizes the club, its management, and its staff based on a proprietary criteria and evaluation process that distills and measures a club's Member Experience.  As such, the rating system used by Distinguished Clubs is different from any that has come before, and with it, the private club industry now has the means to identify the top private clubs based on the most important aspect:  Member Experience.
