Richland at Reynolds Lake Oconee

The new Richland Course at Reynold Lake Oconee is the final step in an evolution that’s been ongoing since 1997. That’s when the first two nines opened, designed by Tom Fazio and known as The National (the vast resort development was originally known as Reynolds Plantation and is the home of five other courses with a sixth under construction as of 2026). In 2000, Fazio added a third nine and The National played as a 27-hole course until 2025 when Fazio remodeled the Bluff nine and combined it with nine new holes. This is Richland. The new holes that play away from the lake (holes from the old Bluff nine do touch the water), move up and down through pines, as do all the Reynolds courses, but are more generous off the tee than is typical and are immensely pleasing to the eye, another Reynolds calling card.
