The Oconee Course at Reynolds Lake Oconee — Local services in Eatonton

It pains me to write this review, as I have been coming to this property for 8+ years. however this last trip was the final straw for me.

The course itself at The Oconee deserves 5 stars. Beautiful layout, challenging holes, and stunning scenery. It's truly a golfer's paradise. However, the entire experience was brought down significantly by the unprofessional staff out on the course.

There was a clear difference in how members and outside players (like our group) were treated. The rangers were curt and borderline rude throughout the round, offering unsolicited critiques and making us feel unwelcome.

They will harass you the entire round about pace of play regardless of whether people are even being held up. No ability to apply common sense and show any level of understanding and consideration. Despite the fact you are paying good money to play golf and stay at the Ritz, they act like they are doing you a favor by allowing you to play on the course. Sorry, but this isn’t Augusta National....

Come prepared to create great memories from sitting around the fire Pitt to cooking pizza in the...
