Hey fellow golf enthusiasts! If you haven’t teed off at Great Waters at Reynolds Lake Oconee, you’re truly missing out on a gem. Crafted by the legendary Jack Nicklaus and opened back in 1992, this course isn’t just a place to play; it’s a top-tier golf experience that’s earned its stripes on the PGA Tour Champions schedule.
Nestled along the shores of Lake Oconee, Great Waters offers a stunning mix of beauty and challenge. Take the 11th hole, for instance—a breathtaking par-3 that demands you clear water to land on a peninsula green. It's one of those make-or-break moments where precision really counts. Speaking of which, a hot tip for first-timers: focus on accuracy over power, especially with the lake winds playing their tricks.
Wrapping up your round, the 18th hole is a showstopper. It’s a strategic par-4 running right alongside the lake, ending your day with both a challenge and a view. Whether you’re here to improve your game or just soak in the vistas, Great Waters is a course that stays with you long after the final putt drops. Ready to take a swing at it?
