Local Area Guide

Great Waters Course at Reynolds Plantation, the Travel Guide

We built this guide so your team doesn't have to figure it all out from a Google search. Neighborhoods, restaurants, game day logistics, local tips — it's all here.

Welcome to the Great Waters Course at Reynolds Plantation, a premier golfing destination nestled in Georgia's scenic Lake Oconee region. This guide is designed for golfers, their families, and anyone visiting the area for a tournament, event, or a relaxing getaway. We'll help you navigate the course, understand the local area, plan your dining, and make the most of your time around Eatonton and Lake Oconee. Get ready to experience top-tier golf and Southern hospitality.

Section 01

Neighborhood Overview

The Great Waters Course is situated within the expansive Reynolds Lake Oconee community, located near Eatonton, Georgia, about an hour and a half northeast of Atlanta. This area is characterized by its rolling hills, dense pine forests, and the stunning expanse of Lake Oconee. Access is primarily via GA-44, which connects to major highways like I-20, making it a manageable drive from Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL). The resort community itself is well-planned, with clear signage directing visitors to various amenities, including the golf courses, clubhouses, and residential areas. Parking is generally ample at the golf clubhouses and related facilities, though during peak tournament weekends, arriving early is always recommended. For those utilizing rideshares or taxis, coordination with event staff or resort concierges can help streamline pick-up and drop-off. The peaceful setting is a significant draw, offering a retreat from urban bustle, with the closest commercial centers being Eatonton itself and the smaller towns dotted along the lake's edge.

Section 02

Where to Stay

Lodging options in the immediate vicinity are primarily within the Reynolds Lake Oconee community itself, ranging from spacious rental homes and cottages to dedicated hotel accommodations like The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee. These options are often within a short drive or even walking distance to the Great Waters Course and other club amenities. While a few smaller, independent hotels and motels can be found in the nearby town of Eatonton, the concentration of upscale and convenient lodging is directly within the resort. Demand for accommodations, particularly rental homes, spikes significantly during major golf tournaments, member events, and peak vacation seasons (spring and fall). Savvy visitors will book their stays well in advance, especially if traveling with a group or seeking specific amenities. Utilizing map filters for "resort," "golf course access," or "lakefront" can help identify suitable properties. Consider booking accommodations that offer easy access to multiple courses or clubhouses if your itinerary includes more than just the Great Waters course.

Section 03

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is about a 1.5-hour drive away, so plan your travel accordingly.

Section 04

Round Day Flow

Check-In & Warm-Up

Upon arrival, your first stop should be the Great Waters Golf Club, where friendly staff will assist with your check-in. Allow ample time to complete any necessary registration, confirm cart assignments, and secure your locker if needed. Once settled, head to the driving range and putting green to get your swings dialed in and familiarize yourself with the course conditions. Grab a coffee or a quick bite at the clubhouse café if you arrived early and need fuel before hitting the first tee.

Mid-Day Regroup

After completing your front nine or between scheduled matches, take advantage of designated regrouping areas. The clubhouse patio and grill offer a comfortable spot for a casual lunch and a chance to discuss your game. If you're part of a larger group or team event, coordinating a specific meeting point, like a reserved section of the restaurant or a picnic spot overlooking the lake, can be beneficial. Stay hydrated and take a moment to stretch before heading out for the back nine.

Wrap-Up & Departure

As your round concludes, return your cart and proceed to the clubhouse for any post-game activities, like settling scores or enjoying a well-deserved beverage. The pro shop is a great place to pick up souvenirs or any forgotten gear. Depending on your onward travel plans, you might opt for a more formal dinner at Linger Longer Steakhouse or head back to your accommodation. Allow for potential queues at popular dining spots and plan your departure from the club accordingly.
