The first hole on the Oconee Course by Rees Jones.
Reynolds Lake-Oconee has five award winning golf courses.
They are all ranked by Golfweek magazine in the top 13 best you can play in state.
Great Waters by Jack Nicklaus #2. The Oconee by Rees Jones #4. National by Tom Fazio #10. Preserve by Bob Cupp #12. The Landing by Cupp #13.
But Masters Week does have restrictions and prices are subject to change.
The 1st hole at the Preserve-by Bob Cupp.
The Preserve Golf Course was designed by Cupp. But Cupp had help from two U.S. Open Champions.
Because both Fuzzy Zoeller and Hubert Green worked with Cupp as player consultants.
So while the Preserve is not a long golf course. There is plenty of challenge from the back tee’s are 6,674 yards. But for golfers of all skills, there are eight sets of tees, something rarely found on top rated courses.
The par 4 fifth hole on the Landing Golf Course, the first course built at Reynolds Lake-Oconee.
The Landing Golf Course was the first golf course built at Reynolds, it opened in 1986.
But it’s a longer course than the Preserve Course, with the back tees playing at 6,991 yards. So like the Preserve Course, the Landings course has 8 sets of tees.
Both courses by Cupp, set the tone for each course that followed to take Reynolds golf to the next level.
The most recent work at Reynolds was by Nicklaus, when he returned to do a recent renovation of Great Waters. Tree removal was a big part of the project, with over 1,000 trees removed. But with new sightlines around the golf course, Great Waters has become one of the best courses in Georgia.
