Reynolds Plantation National Village Breaks Ground and More
Over the past two years, Reynolds Plantation has become one of the best places to retire on a lake. The world got a glimpse of this picture perfect golf and boating community on television last week as Golf Channel covered the 2014 Big Break Invitational at the newly renovated Great Waters Course and Clubhouse. The Lake Oconee golf courses are among the prettiest and most well maintained we've seen!
The setting couldn’t have been more beautiful and fun. We observed the competitors interact with the crowd and club members in a relaxed and playful way, signing autographs as they navigated from one hole to the next, after they finished a putt and at the end of the day at 19th hole. Members appreciated the informality of it all and the chance to watch the young, up and coming players in the golf world.
The back nine holes border Lake Oconee and gave smart boaters a front row seat during the competition. After walking the golf course with the players, we couldn’t help but appreciate how well designed the community is tucked spaciously under a canopy forest, some separated by nature viewing corridors and deer peeking through. Soft wind chimes, garden art and welcoming porches added to the sense of peacefulness as boaters with water-skiers in tow passed by. Staff and club members exuded southern charm making sure everything went off without a hitch for everyone’s enjoyment. The nationally-televised Big Break Invitational golf tournament was just one of many perks members enjoy at Reynolds Plantation.
The excitement continues! Reynolds Plantation’s newest amenity is now underway at the National Course. The National Village is planned to include the following:
EVENT LAWN - An attractive 6,000 square foot green space area with a terrace and fire pit designed with social functions in mind.
THE TAVERN - A new casual restaurant and lounge with views of the ninth green and event lawn. The island theme and wrap-around porch with porch swings will provide cozy gathering places for club members to enjoy.
THE GOLF SHOP - The 3,000 square foot building is planned to include retail space, locker rooms, snack bar and registration area.
CART STORAGE FACILITY - With the look of an antique barn, the facility will have the capacity to store 120 carts.
Reynolds Plantation is home to six championship Lake Oconee golf courses, each with its own individual personality. The new National Village will provide another fun-filled venue for club members to enjoy. The golf shop and cart storage facility are projected to open in the spring of 2015 with The Tavern’s completion to immediately follow.
Reynolds is busy with social activities for residents of all ages. Coming up, the final Full Moon Cruise, Halloween Trick or Treat festivities and holiday celebrations. New Reynolds Plantation model homes are under construction on Mill Creek, overlooking Creek #5, The Landing Villas, on Club Point Circle, adjacent to Landing #10 & #18; and several homes in The Landing Cottage Collection, behind The Landing Clubhouse.
