The Kingdom at Reynolds Lake Oconee.The Course:
18 holes. Tree-lined parkland.
Surroundings:
Woodland, residential and lakeside.
Designer:
Tom Fazio designed the National's original Ridge and Bluff nines (1997), and later added the Cove-nine (2000). In 2024, the course was reduced to 18 holes (Ridge and Cove nines); the Bluff-nine became part of the resort's new and private Richland course.
Reynolds Lake Oconee is home to the following seven championship courses (all 18-hole, par-72): Great Waters course (7073 yds from back tees; designed by Jack Nicklaus, 1992); The Preserve course (6674 yds; Bob Cupp, 1988); The Landing course (7048 yds; Bob Cupp, 1986); The National course (7034 yds; Tom Fazio, 1997 & 2000) and The Oconee course (7029 yds; Rees Jones, 2002). There are also two private courses: Creek Club (7079 yds; Jim Engh, 2007) and Richland course (7,090 yds; Tom Fazio, 2024).

Reynolds Lake Oconee (National)
Reynolds Lake Oconee (The National course): the 27-hole National course is another of the resort's top-rated and excellently crafted courses. This Tom Fazio-designed layout features three distinct nine-hole loops (Ridge, Bluffs and Cove), which reflect the contrasting colours and textures found amongst the hardwood forests and rolling terrain of the region.
Hallmarks of The National are impressive elevation changes, dense natural forests and wonderful lakeside views. The par-3 3rd (Cove), par-4 5th (Cove) and par-3 4th (Bluffs) get you right alongside inlets from the lake, while smaller "inland" lakes and ponds also have their say on the Ridge-nine.
Spread around the extensive lakeside and residential development of Reynolds Lake Oconee are 126-holes of golf, contained in five public-access courses and the members-only Creek Club and Richland 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 (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.
The National course (Ridge-Bluff nines):
Georgia's 31st best course (Golf Digest, 2023/24).
