Reynolds Plantation Lake Oconee Golf Art

I captured this image on May 18, 2014 as the sun was setting over Lake Oconee and casting this beautiful sky far and wide. This is the old Harbor Club #4 that is now The Landing at Reynolds Plantation. As you can tell the golf hole is undergoing some changes to make it less demanding by filling in two of the sand traps that surround this hole. Also, any property to give up this much choice lake front restate for a golf hole is remarkable in itself.

Purchase this for the golf lover in your life. Enjoy!

Named one of "America's Top 100 Golf Communities," by Travel+Leisure Golf magazine for three consecutive years, Reynolds Plantation has continued to be a superior setting for innovative luxury living with a genuine touch of its American and Victorian heritage. Once a sublime hunting and fishing retreat for the Reynolds family, located 75 miles east of Atlanta, this 8,000-acre gently rolling lakeside residential community overlooks the majestic Lake Oconee, Georgia's second-largest lake. A community resort that provides a variety of lavish accommodations and ninety-nine award-winning holes of championship golf layouts designed by legends like Bob Cupp, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Rees Jones, Jim Engh and Pete Dye. No wonder Reynolds Plantation is always the number one choice of golfers in Georgia,

Lake Oconee is one of Georgia's most popular golf and fishing destinations. There is a tremendous quantity of fish in the lake. According to a Georgia Department of Natural Resources sample, there is a standing crop estimated at 355 pounds of fish per acre. That is 250% more than any other lake in the Southeast. Because the lake is a young impoundment, it is still peaking in number of fish per acre. It is considered by fishermen to be the "hottest" and most fertile lake in the state.
Popular game fish on the lake include large mouth, striped, and hybrid bass, black crappie, bream, and channel catfish. Lake Oconee is the only lake in the state where the Department of Natural Resources protects the brood fish of the largemouth bass, restricting harvesting of the species in the 10" to 14" slot. Large mouth bass are the most often sought-after Lake Oconee species, but crappie and other species of bass have a strong following.
When the lake was formed, Georgia Power left 1200 acres of standing or topped timber to provide areas for fish to collect. There are fifty timber areas, averaging four acres each. They are topped at 10' and marked by boys.
Lake Oconee's pumped storage operation positively affects fishing conditions. When the dam is generating electricity, strong currents are created, and fish collect near the river channels. The stable water level protects hundreds of coves where fish spawn.
The lake was originally rural in nature, a destination for fisherman and nature-lovers, but has become much more important in recent years as a rapidly growing community of luxury home neighborhoods. Lake Oconee is home to some of the most prestigious gated neighborhoods in the southeastern United States.
Lake Oconee is Georgia's second largest lake and serves as a reservoir for Georgia Power Company's Wallace Hydroelectric Plant. The lake has 374 miles of shoreline with a surface area of 18,971 acres. It is formed by the Oconee and Appalachee Rivers. The lake's height is only 120 feet.
