Four Courses at Reynolds Lake Oconee Namedto Best Courses You Can Play in State

Reynolds Lake Oconee is in elite company as one of only three destination golf communities in the United States with four courses named to its state list of "Best Courses You Can Play"in Golfweek magazine's annual "Ultimate Guide" that recognizes the most prestigious venues in the game. 

 

Reynolds Lake Oconee's "Fab Four" on the "Best Courses You Can Play" list in Georgia include No.2 Great Waters, No. 4 Oconee, No. 8 National, and No. 10 The Landing.  The only other golf clubs with four or more courses on the list include Bandon Dunes in Oregon and Kohler in Wisconsin. 

Reynolds Lake Oconee General Manager Mike Scully said, 

"We are home to must-play, top caliber golf courses that have made Reynolds Lake Oconee the golf mecca in the Southeast.  The diverse collection of golf designs at Reynolds Lake Oconee by four of the game's greatest golf course architects offers a choice of completely different experiences." 

 

Overall, Reynolds Lake Oconee features six golf course designs by five designers.  These designs include Great Waters by Jack Nicklaus, The Oconee by Rees Jones, National by Tom Fazio, The Landing and The Preserve by Bob Cupp, and The Creek Club by Jim Engh.

Lake Oconee President Rabun Neal said, 

"It is an honor for Reynolds Lake Oconee to have our courses included on Golfweek's highly regarded national rankings.  Recognition at this high level continues to enrich the reputation of Reynolds Lake Oconee as one of the most impressive golf communities and golf destinations in the world.  Members of Reynolds enjoy a caliber of golf excellence that few communities can match." 

 

The Landing pioneered the golf industry on Lake Oconee when it opened in 1986 (originally as Port Armor Golf Club), as the first course along the lake.  And Great Waters, which debuted in 1992, will unveil its comprehensive, Nicklaus-directed renovation this fall. 

The Oconee (2002) provides a pure, undisturbed setting for an authentic golf experience.  While the National (1997) is a 27-hole complex winding through thick pine forests, rolling landscape and dramatic lakefront settings. 

 

Located halfway between Atlanta and Augusta, the serene Lake Oconee destination also is home to The Reynolds Kingdom of Golf presented by TaylorMade, one of the only facilities in the country where recreational golfers can receive professional instruction, be fit for new equipment in the same elite environment used by Tour professionals, and have their equipment built same-day on the spot.
