"We have uncovered a dramatic golf course without changing a lot of what we found when we got here." Rees Jones, Designer, The Oconee.
The Oconee Course, the Rees Jones-designed resort course, presents a unique and formidable golfing challenge. Described by many as a “mind-game” golf course, the new Jones addition to the Reynolds Plantation landscape is designed to be a true risk/reward challenge - often forcing golfers to choose between direct tee shots over inlets of Lake Oconee and long drives down tree-lined dog-leg fairways.
Noted for its spectacular par threes - featuring multiple tee boxes, drop shots from elevated tees and numerous water hazards - the course offers five holes in which Lake Oconee comes directly into play and for four others tendering magnificent lake views.
The interior creeks and ponds and the expansive vistas of Lake Oconee provide spectacular scenery for Oconee Course golfers.
The Oconee Course at Reynolds Plantation has already captured the attention of the golfing industry, hosting highly-visible tournaments like the 2007 PGA Cup and the 2008 PGA Professional National Championship.
