Tips for Playing Reynolds Lake Oconee - Oconee Course
When playing the Oconee Course, pay close attention to the wind, especially on holes that run along or across Lake Oconee. The lake effect can significantly impact club selection. Also, consider the elevation changes; many shots play uphill or downhill, so adjust your yardage accordingly. It's always a good idea to consult a yardage book or use a GPS device to get accurate distances. The greens at Oconee can be quite undulating and fast, so practice your putting before your round. Focus on hitting fairways, as the rough can be penal, and many holes have water hazards that come into play. Don't be afraid to lay up on risk-reward holes if your game isn't feeling sharp, as a conservative approach can often lead to better scores on this challenging but fair course.
