Great Waters Course Designed by Jack Nicklaus, features nine holes that play directly along the lake shoreline. Former host of the Andersen Consulting World Championship, the course is ranked #7 in the state by Golf Digest and #3 by GOLFWEEK. Anytime Jack Nicklaus unveils one of his signature courses, it is big news in the golf world. But in the fall of 1992, when Great Waters a  t
Reynolds Plantation opened, it stirred a rush of excitement within the
golf community that was extraordinary, even by Nicklaus standards.
The Great Waters Course, a 7,048-yard, par 72 layout, offers players
some of the most dramatic golf scenery in the Southeast. With nine holes
lining the shores of Lake Oconee, Great Waters offers both exciting
challenges and beautiful views. I have often wondered if Nicklaus
thought of Pebble Beach when he designed # 18, a 540-yard par-5. There’s
no seawall or cliffs, but there sure is a lot of water. Try to get on in
two.Plantation Course This track is a 6698-yard, par-72 layout designed by Bob Cupp in association with Fuzzy Zoeller and Hubert Gr  een.
This course has been ranked among the top 15 in state by GOLFWEEK.
I’ve played other courses designed by the three collaborators, but never
all three of them together. Talk about multiple personalities. Golf
Magazine has ranked the Plantation Course, a 6,698-yard, par 72 from the
gold tees, among the "Ten Best New Courses." The Plantation course
is characterized by a natural, rolling layout that possesses innumerable
subtleties. Says Charley Stine of Golfweek, "The hills are natural to
the terrain, but the funny lies and funny 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.National Course How about another course ranked in the top 10 of Georgia courses. It’s designer, Tom Fazio couldn’t wipe the smile off his face as he drove through the gate  s
of the property. He took maximum advantage of the site, creating
holes with drama and beauty equal to the setting. Opening in 1997, it is
amazing how mature the course looks. 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 lakefront topography, provides a perfect canvas for the
artistry of Tom Fazio, one of golf's premier modern architects.The Oconee Club Rees Jones, well known for designing some of the world's most celebrated golf courses, is adding The O  conee
course at Reynolds Plantation to his growing collection of outstanding
golf course projects. Clearly this idyllic Georgia sanctuary provides a
pure, undisturbed setting for an authentic golf experience. With his
traditional philosophy of golf architecture that features strategic
design, Jones has created a classical masterpiece. This course will make
you talk to yourself. You can't believe the beauty of it all. It
has outstanding views of the lake and water comes into play on five
holes. Including the 15th, a cute little par 3 that is not so cute
when the wind blows. Rees Jones is a welcome addition to the family of
Reynolds Plantation designers. He adds hi thoughts, "We have uncovered a
dramatic golf course without changing a lot of what we found when we got
here."The Club at Cuscowilla This track is not included in the Reynolds Plantation family of courses, but if you're this close, you have to play it. Designed by Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore, Cuscow  illa
may be the best of all the Lake Oconee courses. This 7 year old course
is already ranked the 10th Best Modern Course in America by GOLFWEEK. It
winds through rolling meadows and valleys of pine, playing across
several interior ponds. The most celebrated holes, however, are those
that start the second nine. They play beside and carry the lake across
an inlet. It may be a modern course, but it has such a traditional,
natural look. The bunkers feature jagged edges and native clay soil
base. A vigorous caddie program gives you an opportunity to enjoy a
great round of golf and a walk in the park. |
