Set against the shimmering blue backdrop of Lake Oconee, the Lodge offers luxurious accommodations and 81 holes of golf along the pristine coast.

Links

Reynolds Landing, is the original golf course on Lake Oconee and is centered on a classic Bob Cupp golf course that earned numerous awards when it opened in 1986.

The Oconee Course, the Rees Jones-designed resort course, presents a golfing challenge unmatched by any other in the nation. Described by many as "mind-game golf," the new Jones addition to the Reynolds Plantation landscape is designed to be a true risk/reward challenge. Noted for its spectacular par threes, the course offers five holes in which Lake Oconee comes directly into play and four others tendering magnificent lake views.

The National Course, designed by Tom Fazio is the third gem at Reynolds Plantation. Boasting 27 holes, the National features impressive elevations, wonderful views and several holes skirting the shores of Lake Oconee. The site, with dense forests of hardwoods, pines, flowering wild dogwoods and some of Lake Oconee's most dramatic lake front topography, provides a perfect canvas for the artistry of Tom Fazio, one of golf's premier modern architects.

Great Waters, an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus-signature design, winds through densely wooded evergreen corridors only to open up to nine holes featuring the blue waters of Lake Oconee as the rough. Named as one of the best courses in Georgia, second only to Augusta National, Great Waters is one of the most aesthetically inspiring golf courses in the continental United States.

Plantation Course, has been ranked among the "Ten Best New Courses" and is characterized by a natural, rolling layout that possesses innumerable subtleties. The hills are natural to the terrain, but the funny lies and bounces result from the ingenuity of shaping during construction." Many of the pleasures of play here have little to do with swings and scores and much to do with the magnificence of the setting.
