Reynolds Lake Oconee Famed architect Tom Fazio is returning to this beautiful Georgia resort to add nine holes on the existing Bluffs nine on the National Course, which will result in a completely new 18-hole layout. Fazio originally designed the first 18 holes at the National course, which opened in 1997 with two nines, The Ridge and The Bluffs. He returned to add the nine-hole Cove in 2000, to meet the ever-growing demand at Reynolds Lake Oconee. The new nine will be attached to the existing Bluff nine and be built on land that includes a creek, natural boulders and an existing pond. The tract slopes down to a cove of Lake Oconee and includes more than 100 feet of elevation change. It is scheduled to open in late 2024 and will be private, accessible only to Reynolds Lake Oconee members. The membership will have two private 18-hole championship courses, as well as the other 90 holes available for resort guests to play. The demand for new upscale golf courses continues to expand with big name designers currently renovating, or adding new courses to existing resorts, as well as creating completely new golf destinations. Here are a few new projects currently underway. Travel Notes From Len Ziehm By Len Ziehm Michigan Golf Journal
