Reynolds Lake Oconee (The Oconee course)

4-PLUS: Must play course - excellent standard; worthy of 4½ stars.

Est. 2002

Reynolds Lake Oconee (The Oconee course): The Oconee is generally recognised as one of Georgia's top-rated golf courses and another of Reynolds' scenic lakeside layouts. The Rees Jones-designed course provides a wonderful test for your all-round game with many excellent holes to enjoy.

The two nine-hole loops meander through hardwood forest, before delivering stunning lakeside closing holes. Oconee presents options to play shots over inlets from the lake, or carry the corners of tree-lined doglegs. The tee-shot at the par-5 18th demands an unforgettable and knee-trembling drive over a wide lakeside inlet. An unforgettable finish to one of the resort's finest.

Spread around the extensive lakeside and residential development of Reynolds Lake Oconee are 117-holes of golf, contained in five public-access courses and the members-only Creek Club course.

The Reynolds Lake Oconee courses have been designed and crafted by a veritable Who's Who of great course architects, including: Jack Nicklaus (Great Waters), Bob Cupp (The Landing and The Preserve), Tom Fazio (27-hole The National course), Rees Jones (The Oconee), and Jim Engh (The Creek Club).

Did you know?

Recognised for its natural beauty and riverside forests, the Oconee River has provided a family retreat for over 100 years. Many families quickly decided to "linger longer," turning one-or-two day visits into three-four-or five day family retreats.

By 1982, the river had become Lake Oconee, and Reynolds Plantation, now known as Reynolds Lake Oconee, was founded. It has evolved into a globally recognised resort, community and club, with six golf courses, nine dining venues, four full-service marinas, swimming pools, 21 miles of walking and biking trails, a world class fitness and tennis club, and The Ritz-Carlton Hotel at its centre.
