Reynolds Lake Oconee (Great Waters)
Reynolds Lake Oconee (Great Waters course): Great Waters is generally recognised as one of Georgia's top-rated golf courses and an excellent parkland and lakeside layout.
The parkland-style front-nine journeys through rolling hills and thick forests. The short par-4 ninth hole is the first of the lake holes, with water creeping in on the right side of the green. A taste of things to come on the immensely scenic back-nine.
The second nine-hole loop, played out-and-back from the clubhouse, offers a wonderfully scenic lakeside golf experience. Eight of the nine holes are played directly alongside the lake, with several of the greens touching the water's edge.
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 (The National and Richland courses), Rees Jones (The Oconee), and Jim Engh (The Creek Club).

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 seven 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.
Great Waters course:
Georgia's 18th best course (Golf Digest, 2023/24).
USA's 77th best public access course (Golf Digest, 2023).
