The Reynolds Lake Oconee Pilgrimage

Six championship courses ringing a stunning Georgia lake, anchored by Nicklaus's Great Waters along the shoreline. A Ritz-Carlton, boats between rounds, and more elite golf than most groups can finish in a week.

Why It's a Pilgrimage

Reynolds Lake Oconee is the resort that lets a group spread out: half a dozen courses by Nicklaus, Fazio, Cupp, and Jones around a sprawling lake, with a Ritz-Carlton at the center. Great Waters threads the final holes along the water in classic Nicklaus fashion, and the lake itself becomes part of the trip — boats, docks, lakeside dinners. It is the polished, group-friendly southeastern pilgrimage where the only hard part is choosing which courses to skip.
