We’ve covered approaching Augusta for The Masters<\/a> from the north and south. With this post we’ll outline the golf course\/overnight options to the west of Augusta and really, there’s only one option for an upscale experience. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re not trying to save a few bucks on your trip to Augusta, then Reynolds Plantation<\/a> will be your choice of golf and lodging. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Reynolds<\/a> boast six premium layouts designed by the elite of golf course architects including Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Rees Jones, and Bob Cupp with only the Creek Club by Jim Engh not open to public play. Accommodations here include the Ritz Carlton<\/a> or lodging in rental homes and cottages in the community, let’s say an airbnb on steroids, and leased directly by the Reynolds <\/a>management company.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reynolds is located in Greensboro, Georgia exactly midway between Augusta and Atlanta, a mere 1 1\/2 hour drive either way. It’s a 12,000 acre residential development on Lake Oconee with eleven restaurants, four full-service marinas, swimming pools, 21 miles of pedestrian trails, and tennis courts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The golf is anchored by The Landing<\/a>, a Bob Cupp design, and the first course developed on the property in 1986 with his Preserve<\/a> course opening in 1988. They were followed by Jack Nicklaus’ Great Waters<\/a>, The National<\/a> by Tom Fazio, and The Oconee<\/a> by Rees Jones. Great Waters might be the most popular, arguably the most scenic, with nearly half the holes on the Lake and the 27 hole National considered the most challenging. All in all, a high end venue, setting, and world class accommodations whether you’re headed to The Masters or looking for a weeks long golf vacation. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
