You Join for the Golf
There is no question that you come to Reynolds
Plantation for the golf. Once a prized hunting and fishing
retreat for the Reynolds family, this former land grant from
British royalty of 10,000 gently rolling acres in the heart
of Georgia is now prized for its magnificent setting for
golf.

Details like this extensive stone wall enhance the
experience.
Five championship courses—two of which were cited by GOLF
Magazine as one of the top 10 new courses in the country on
consecutive years—foster plenty of challenge and enjoyment.
Other communities may offer varying kinds of amenities, but
the serious golfer will make his home here.
The Plantation Course
The Plantation course was the first to debut at Reynolds
Plantation in 1988. The layout, a creation of designer Bob
Cupp along with PGA Tour professionals Fuzzy Zoeller and
Hubert Green, was immediately honored as one of GOLF
Magazine's top 10 new courses in the country.

The Plantation Course.
Great Waters by Jack Nicklaus
When the Jack Nicklaus-designed Great Waters course
opened in 1992, it garnered the same honor from GOLF
Magazine. Great Waters recently has been host to qualifying
stages for the Andersen Consulting World Championship of
Golf, underscoring what Golfweek has said about
Reynolds Plantation—that the "two courses create possibly
the best 36-hole golf complex in the U.S."
The Great Waters course that the pros play is 7,048 yards
long and will absolutely tickle the spine and test the
mettle of any excellent golfer. The front nine weaves its
way through forest and rolling hills. Then the dramatic
waterfront holes, beginning at the ninth, provide an even
more stunning stretch of golf.

Back to top
In designing the course, Nicklaus was careful to build
different sets of tees so that the Great Waters course would
be playable for all levels of golfers. He was able to
eliminate forced carries and some long-iron approach shots
from the shorter tees, while retaining the sight lines that
give the course so much of its character. The result is a
true challenge that can stretch between 6,545 and 5,082
yards.
Reynolds National by Tom Fazio
From the tips, the Tom Fazio-designed National Course
runs 7,015 yards up the northeastern side of the property
and sweeps down to Lake Oconee on the back side. The par-72,
27 hole course employs four sets of tees and includes a
12-acre practice site.

Arial view of the National Course.
A 7,015-yard, par-72 test from the back tees, Reynolds
National features two holes directly on Lake Oconee, a
19,000-acre lake that is the second largest in Georgia.
Dense forests of hardwoods, pines, flowering wild dogwoods
and some of Lake Oconee's most dramatic lakefront topography
make the course one of the prettiest in Georgia, if not all
of the South.
Introducing the Oconee Course
The Oconee Course was designed by Rees Jones. The
championship layout serves as the centerpiece of a new
resort, featuring a 250-room Ritz-Carlton Lodge and Spa.
It's a course for everybody, says Jones, with major
tournament length and forward tees measuring less than 5,200
yards.

Lake Oconee comes into play on five of the holes and four
additional holes have lake views. Adding to the beauty of the
course is $1 million worth of landscaping of ornamental
planting, which peak in each season, particularly in the spring.

The Creek Club
The most recent course to be completed at Reynolds
Plantation is the Jim Engh- designed Creek Club Course.
Reynolds Plantation's fifth golf masterpiece opened for
member play on June 1, 2007.
The Creek Course is Reynolds Plantation's first-ever
member only course, and was designed by 2003 Golf Digest
"Architect of the Year" Jim Engh. Featuring Engh's
distinctive, rolling bunkers, exclusive Zoysia grass
fairways and stunning home sites, The Creek Club continues
the legacy of golfing excellence synonymous with the
Reynolds name.
Homes with Golf & Lake Views
Most of the homesites and cottages now offered overlook
either the lake or one of five championship golf courses.
Some even offer breathtaking vistas of both lake and golf.
You’ll find both year-round residences and vacation homes
here that blend with the natural surroundings. Southern
Living Magazine chose Reynolds Plantation as home for
its renowned Idea House.

Sample

Perhaps the most fascinating housing options are to be
found at Reynolds's Model Home Center. Here potential buyers
can tour four homes and mix and match floor plans,
furnishings, and exterior elevations. The option the buyer
chooses can then be constructed within Reynolds Plantation.

variety of outdoor pleasures—pursue Georgia's legendary
largemouth bass, hybrid and striped bass, crappie and
catfish in Lake Oconee and take advantage of the dry dock
storage facilities and pontoon boat rental at the Reynolds
