Harbor Club on Lake Oconee

On my ratings I tried very hard to consider the course had experienced 3 inches of rain 2 days prior. And they had just aerated the greens. I think bottom line is that the course did not meet its reputation or price. I will try this course again this summer. I am confident it will change my review.

Enjoyed the course. Nice layout. Tough greens to read. Pace of play was very slow. Really enjoyed the couple we played with.

To the vast majority of golfers, Lake Oconee is associated entirely with the mega-community of Reynolds Lake Oconee and its (now) seven golf courses. The independent Harbor Club therefore flies under the radar – just how the folks there like it. The Tom Weiskopf golf course is charming and beautifully maintained, with a few peeks at the lake.

With a passionate membership, it is open to non-members but doesn’t heavily advertise this fact, so golfers who go to the effort of arranging a round here will feel like invited guests of a refined private club. The community has the distinction of being the post-retirement home of New York Yankees legend Mickey Mantle.

I always enjoy Harbor Club. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The course is in really great shape.

Overall this is an amazing place to play. My only complaint is that the course has incredibley bad drainage and has a lot of standing water so nicely hit shots would sink in the ground. Otherwise green were great and I hope to return again soon.

Usually play the Reynolds courses when in town. Gave Harbor Club a try this year. It was really nice. Great lay out, greens roiled nice (bent grass)…as a whole the course by far exceeded our expectations. Would definitely play again.
