Lots of great courses around Savannah. Westin Savannah Harbor. The Landings.
I thought about the Westin, but reviews online seem like it's just a typical resort course. nothing special?
I would say better than "Nothing Special". I didn't see you wanted to play somewhere "special".
There are a ton of "special" courses(private) in the HH/Bluffton area - but you would have to know someone or if you are a member of a club get your pro to make a call.
If Harbor Town is where you want to play, I wouldn't be overly concerned about the aerification. My guess, at a resort course like that, they either have their process down to a science to minimize disruption or it is going to be a small hole aerification. Big dollar courses like that are generally pretty good at the process because they know it costs them money. Usually, within a week, the greens won't be perfect, but they will be reasonably good.
Make a call and ask what size tines they are aerifying with. If they are using larger than 3/8" tines you will probably be disappointed with the conditions. 1/4" tines and you might not even notice after a week. 3/8" and they will be ok, but not great. Bigger than that, $50 is not enough of a discount.
Also, if staying in Savannah, HT will be well over an hour drive both ways. Heck, its probably at least 20 minutes once you cross the bridge if there is any traffic at all. If you are trying to get on the island during morning commute it might be longer than that.
