Reynolds Lake Oconee (Great Waters)

In the six-course constellation at Reynold Lake Oconee, a luxe development an hour east of Atlanta, this sparkling layout is the brightest star. Refreshed by a 2019 renovation, its routing, laced with rocky creeks and studded with tall pines, gathers momentum on a back nine that makes great strategic use of the lake. The par-3 14th, which plays over water to a green flanked by dogwoods and azaleas, ranks among the standouts of a stretch that is thrilling in its scenery and shot-making demands.
