Rees Jones, well known for designing some of the world's most celebrated golf courses, added The Oconee Course at Reynolds Plantation to his growing collection of outstanding golf courses in 2002. This dramatic, challenging and playable layout has captured the attention of the golfing industry, hosting highly-visible tournaments like the 2007 PGA Cup, the 2007 Chick-fil-A Bowl Alma Mater, and serving as the future site of the 2008 PGA Professional National championships. Awards include "America's Top Golf Courses" (Zagat Survey, 2007), "Best Residential Golf Courses" (GolfWeek Magazine, 2007), "100 Best Golf Shops in America" (GolfWorld Business Magazine, 2006) and "Best Courses for Women" (Golf For Women Magazine, 2006).
