A NEW date and time for the RISE Golf Tournament!

The beautiful Reynolds Plantation Course, designed by Rees Jones, features a unique risk-reward layout that overlooks the 19,000-acre Oconee lake that serves as the community’s centerpiece.  This year, the tournament will be on Monday, August 22  – at the beginning, rather than the end, of our meeting – with an 8:00 a.m. tee time at Ritz Carlton Reynolds Lake Oconee. There will be no other meetings or conflicts on Monday morning, so you have no excuse to miss this great event!

Join us for a tournament designed to challenge golfers with distracting views and tempting short holes over watery inlets. Key to the popularity of this course is the challenge for all levels of play as five sets of tees offer options for every type of golfer. The Oconee Course and the Linger Longer Clubhouse are within walking distance from The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee.

Lake Oconee is a tranquil retreat surrounded by natural beauty, and the Ritz-Carlton Reynolds is home to five championship golf courses, a 30,000 square foot spa and a myriad of lakeside activities.
