Great Waters Golf Course Reopens

A group of golf writers got to play the Great Waters Golf Course at Reynolds Oconee Resort in October, a day before it officially reopened with a ceremony including designer Jack Nicklaus.  As we made our way around it, we encountered several owners of homes along the golf course, watching the first golf they’d seen on those grounds in eighteen months.  “How do you like it?” they asked us.  With widened fairways, thinned out stands of trees, many beautiful waterside holes, and improved playability, the course’s full renovation had turned a very challenging course into a still-challenging but memorably enjoyable place to play.  “You’re gonna love it,” we told them.  And they are.  And so will you, if you get yourself down to Reynolds Lake Oconee in Greensboro, Ga., where Ritz-Carlton hospitality and five championship golf courses await, along with “The Kingdom,” a full-service TaylorMade fitting and instruction facility.
