Top Golf Courses in Georgia
The Oconee at Reynolds Lake Oconee
The Oconee course is the latest addition to the courses at Reynolds Lake Oconee Resort. Rees Jones, the architect responsible for many U.S. Open venue revisions, is the man who designed the layout creating a great risk and reward setting.
The layout has proved to be an instant hit, comprising of fantastic short holes that require subtle approaches and long holes with demanding drives.
The Seaside is one of three courses at Sea Island which is ranked among the Golf Digest's list of North America's Top 75 golf resorts.
Harry S. Colt, with the help of a Tom Fazio refresh, has created a visually stunning layout with lush green fairways carving through a landscape of perfect white sand dotted with mounds of wild rough.
Great Waters course at Reynolds Lake Oconee
Designed by the great Golden Bear himself, the fine layout of Great Waters has come to be considered by many as second only to Augusta National in the state of Georgia.
Nicklaus has created a golf course of very different halves with a front nine that winds through colossal evergreens emerging to a back nine that hugs the shoreline of the enchanting Lake Oconee.
The Landing at Reynolds Lake Oconee
The Landing was the first course integrated into Georgia's most luxurious golfing community, Reynolds Lake Oconee, which covers over 350 miles of lakefront between Atlanta and Augusta.
Measuring over 7000 yards the course provides a championship test to golfers. Undulating fairways accompanied by long wispy rough and the odd water hazard add excitement and enjoyment by the bucket load.
