Reynolds Lake Oconee

Jack Nicklaus Signature design — nine holes route along Lake Oconee's shoreline, the other nine wind through pine and hardwoods. The marquee round at Reynolds and consistently the highest-ranked.

Rees Jones design (renovated by Tom Fazio in 2002) — lakeside routing with sweeping water views and Reynolds' signature manicured conditioning.

Tom Fazio's 27-hole design (Bluff, Cove, Ridge) — three distinct nines that combine for a varied 18 every time. Routing through hardwood forest with creek-and-stream features.

Tom Fazio design (2002) — wide fairways, dramatic green complexes, and a more open feel than the Oconee Course. One of three Fazio designs on the Reynolds property (the others being The National and Richland).

Bob Cupp design — Reynolds' original course (1986). A traditional Southern parkland layout with smaller greens and a quieter pace than the headline tracks.

Jim Engh design (2007) — Engh was Golf Digest's first "Architect of the Year" and the course shows it. Distinctive mounding, bold bunkering, multi-contoured greens, and collection areas that genuinely shape how you play it. Creeks, wetlands, and Lake Oconee come into play throughout. A different design voice from the Fazio/Nicklaus/Jones headliners — worth playing for the architectural contrast alone.

Tom Fazio's most recent Reynolds work, opened in 2024 — a creative 18 that pairs an existing Fazio nine with a brand-new Fazio nine, blending vintage and modern Fazio in a single round. Rolling terrain, strategic water and creek crossings, undulating greens, and meaningful elevation changes. The newest playable course at Reynolds until Fenmoor comes online in fall 2026.

Reynolds' newest course, scheduled to open fall 2026 — not yet in play. The property's eighth course and a sign that Reynolds keeps investing in the lineup. Worth keeping on the radar for trips planned after the opening.
