2015 BEST GOLF COMMUNITY OF THE YEAR

The Fountain of Youth is a spring that folks believed would restore youth to anyone who drinks or bathes in its waters. These days the essence of youth can be found at Reynolds Lake Oconee, home to one of the best golf resorts near Atlanta. What once started as a second and vacation home community for Atlantans has now become a prospering bedroom community.  Younger families are now flocking to the area, after visiting older family members who own there. It’s those sun drenched days on the lake and golf courses that have left an indelible impression of seemingly endless list of fun things to do and see. How could one not appreciate this as one of the best places to retire on a lake or raise a family.

Life at Reynolds may seem too good to be true because it has it all.  The golf community is peacefully located on the shores of idyllic Lake Oconee, one of America’s best lakes. It is home to six championship Lake Oconee golf courses designed by golfers Bob Cupp, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Rees Jones and Jim Engh. Look no further if you’re looking for golf resorts near Atlanta. It’s hard to beat Reynolds paired up with a Ritz-Carlton Lodge.

Beyond Reynolds Lake Oconee, few communities can offer a collection of six truly distinctive golf experiences all in one location. Reynolds Plantation membership means access to those six award-winning golf courses, joined by golfers from all over the world. The courses offer magnificent views and exciting rounds of play for all skill levels.

Reynolds is also home to six resort-style swimming pools and 15 tennis courts. With more than 30 self-organized clubs, indoor and outdoor activities and residents who have traveled from near all 50 states, living at Reynolds is its own American paradise.

If playing on the links isn’t your forte, perhaps life on the lake is more your speed. Surrounded by spectacular views of Lake Oconee, the Lake Club is another center of activity at Reynolds. Access to this 38,000-square-foot facility is available as part of the Reynolds Plantation membership. The club features an expansive fitness center, aerobics room, indoor junior-Olympic pool, whirlpool spa, café, massage treatment rooms, a game room, ballroom, and ample event space. 

Outside shaded verandas surround the Lake Club with comfortable seating areas overlooking the kids splashing at the family pool. Adults looking for a more relaxed setting can kick back and enjoy the adults-only Infinity Pool, which includes a lakeside whirlpool spa, pavilion bar, and fire pit.

Here’s quick recap of all the Reynolds amenities:

  • 24 Hour Manned Gated Entrance
  • Six Championship Lake Oconee Golf Courses by Nicklaus, Fazio, Jones, Cupp and Engh
  • Reynolds Golf Academy and The Kingdom
  • Five Golf Clubhouses
  • Six Resort-style Swimming Pools
  • 15 Tennis Courts with Stadium Seating 38,000 Square Foot
  • Fitness Center
  • Four Full Service Marinas with Boat Ramps
  • Lake Oconee Village - retail shopping complex 

Families of all ages love Reynolds Lake Oconee amenities. In addition, it is close to an inexpensive, international airport and quality, world-class health care.  The opening of St. Mary’s Good Samaritan Hospital transformed area healthcare and contributed to the growth of the local economy. The weather is another big perk.  Temperatures are seasonal and there is no threat from hurricanes on the coast!

These are only some of the reasons the draw of the suburbs remains powerful. Across all ages, races, incomes and education groups, more Americans are still moving out of cities than in. These and the natural scenic attributes of the area, not surprisingly, have prompted visitors to choose one of best places to retire on a lake for their full-time, second home or vacation residence.
