Design Role: New Design 2001

Co-Designer(s): Greg Muirhead

The Oconee Course is the newest addition to championship golf at Reynolds Plantation. The course was routed to maximize the abundant vegetation and dramatic topography of the site, especially the shoreline of Lake Oconee. A round here culminates on the long par four 18th, which finishes on the water. The course is available for play to members and to the guests of the adjoining Ritz Carlton Hotel.
