8:15 am. Surrounded by native Bluestein grasses, the plush Bermuda fairway glistens in a light morning dew. Majestic longleaf pines line the banks of Lake Oconee, your quiet morning companion. Beyond the next hole, the banks of Lake Oconee are coming to life with the sounds of largemouth bass and blue heron. A gentle breeze at your back beckons you to go for the green in two.
This is the scene that inspired Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw to create the Golf Club at Cuscowilla, one of America’s premier resort courses. Cuscowilla is the seamless integration of classic course design with the natural beauty of central Georgia. The course alternates between pristine forest and placid lake, each endowed with an abundance of native flora and fauna.
Praise for Cuscowilla from Golf Magazine, Golf Digest, PGA Magazine and others has placed the course among names like Pebble Beach, Pinehurst and Torrey Pines. Named in the Top Three Best Residential Courses for five consecutive years by Golfweek Magazine, the Golf Club at Cuscowilla challenges players’ skills and strategy, presenting increasingly difficult choices between playing it safe and taking risks.
