Home to Over 117 Holes of World Class Golf Lake Oconee is home to 8 of the finest golf courses anywhere in the country. Each has its own distinct style and offers both challenges to the serious golfer, as well as enjoyment for the occasional one. Reynolds Lake Oconee offers 6 courses with 117 holes for play. The Preserve designed by Bob Cupp, in conjunction with golf professional Fuzzy Zoeller and Huber Green opened in 1988 and was immediately recognized as one of the top 10 new resort courses in the world due to its natural rolling layout and numerous structural subtleties. The Great Waters course offers players some of the most dramatic golf scenery in the southeast. Designed by Legendary PGA golfer Jack Niklaus and opened in the fall of 1992, the course is ranked among the nation’s finest with 9 of 18 holes playing along the shores of beautiful Lake Oconee. Jack came back in 2019 for a full rebuild to modernize and recondition the course, making it better than ever. Tom Fazio’s National course, boasting 27 holes, features impressive elevations, wonderful views, and several holes were added in 2000. Reynolds Landing opened for play in 1986; also designed by Bob Cupp, it has continually ranked in the Top 10 courses in Georgia. The course demands respect from its players and offers breathtaking views. The Oconee course, designed by Rees Jones, has paired with the Ritz Carlton Lodge and the Dave Pelz Scoring Game School to offer an unbeatable package for golf enthusiasts. The Creek Club is the newest course at Reynolds Lake Oconee; designed by Jim Engh, it opened in June of 2007 and provides a contemporary, thrilling golf masterpiece.

Reynolds

Cuscowilla on Lake Oconee is home to the highly acclaimed Golf Club at Cuscowilla, which was designed by 2-time Masters Champion Ben Crenshaw and architect Bill Coore. Opening in 1997, this links-style course design emulates the land and rambles naturally over a former hybrid pine nursery bordered by 6.5 miles of shoreline. Gorgeous views of Lake Oconee can be seen from 10 holes. Cuscowilla Harbor Club sought the expertise of Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish when designing their course. The Harbor Club course opened in April 1991, and had consistently received national recognition water hazards are plentiful, with Loake Oconee coming into play 6 times, plus 4 creeks and several interior lakes. The Grand 18th hole offers players a choice of 2 fairways and 2 greens. Harbor Club

7 Reasons Why you Should Hire a Buyers Agent When Buying a Home Wondering if you should hire a real estate agent to help you find your dream home? Buying a house can be a very exciting time and one that can be somewhat overwhelming for both firsttime and experienced buyers, especially in the current ever-shifting marketplace. However, an experienced buyer’s agent can help you through the process, and guide you through this important endeavor. Here are some reasons why you should consider hiring a Buyers Agent. 1. Buyer Representation Your Buyer’s Agent is your personal advocate and has a fiduciary responsibility to act upon the best interests of their Client. Thus, when making one of the largest financial decisions in your life, it’s essential to have an expert on your side who will help you navigate the complex landscape of real estate.” 2. Negotiation Experience In real estate, there are many moving parts and points to consider when it comes to negotiations. The current state of the market will determine your best course of action when crafting your offer. Whether you’re facing a multiple offer situation or working through contingencies, your experienced Buyers Agent brings their expertise, knowledge and experience to the table to help you reach your best outcome in negotiating. 3. Access to Experts During the homebuying process, you may need to employ the services of various professionals, such as 8 | (706) 999-6030 8 | (706) 999-6030

home inspectors, closing attorneys, contractors, etc. It can be overwhelming, especially if you’re new to the area. However, your Buyer’s Agent will have local contacts to recommend to help you through the process and ensure you make a sound purchase. 4. Market Knowledge In the ever-shifting real estate market, it can be difficult to find properties, as well as to understand current home values and how to compare properties. Your Buyer’s Agent will be by your side offering their local market knowledge to help you determine the best property for lakeoconee.realty lakeoconee.realty


you and to negotiate the best deal for you. To have a local, experienced Buyer’s Agent in your corner is an invaluable asset to you and your family through the purchasing process. 5. Contracts Buying a home involves contracts, timelines and other obligations that can be a lot to understand and to manage. Your Buyer’s Agent will walk you through every step of the way to ensure all of your paperwork is in order, all deadlines are met and any obligations of the contract are completed. Home buying is most definitely a process where you want a professional advising you from start to finish. 6. Experts of the Local Area Every real estate market is different and it is very important to understand the local market in which you are purchasing a home. Your Buyer’s Agent will know all the intricacies of a local market, including: schools, utilities, zoning, HOA rules, and much more. Having access to your Agent’s local knowledge will help you make an informed decision on which communities and/or area amenities are right for you and your family. 7. Knows What to Look For When Viewing Houses Successful Buyer’s Agents are continually in and out of homes and have been through the

(706) 999-6030

due diligence phase with Buyers many times. This experience has helped your Agent develop an eye for identifying red flags as you initially view a property. Though it may require the expertise of a home inspector or contractor to fully diagnose a problem, your agent can point out various potential issues, whether it be with the condition of the house or issues with the property, that the typical home buyer may not recognize. This can save you a lot of time and unneeded frustration.
