This Course Has Jack’s Name Written All Over It.

Posted on February 7, 2013 by Greg Rushing

Behold the mastery of Jack Nicklaus.
Each day breaks gloriously on the course that Jack designed here on Lake Keowee. Through 20 majors, more than 100 professional wins and countless memorable moments, the name Jack Nicklaus has been associated with greatness. A quality that has transferred to four decades of outstanding course design. Though all his courses exhibit Jack’s signature touch, as a member of The Reserve community this is the one you can call your very own.

“I really co-designed the course with Mother Nature—complementing the gorgeous, natural features already here. It was my job to find the course hidden in the hills and along the lake.” — Jack Nicklaus

Nicklaus prides himself on creating courses that enhance the natural environment and are both challenging and enjoyable for players of all levels. One round on our Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course (the first one in Upstate South Carolina) and you’ll agree he’s achieved that here. The course winds through the incredible landscape around Lake Keowee, along lush rolling foothills, through dense forests, following mountain streams and taking full advantage of the signature holes along the lakeshore.

At The Reserve you’ll enjoy year-round golf and outstanding practice facilities. You’ll also enjoy our award-winning clubhouse, the Orchard House. This 20,000 square foot clubhouse features men’s and women’s locker rooms with card rooms and lounge space, a pro-shop, casual and upscale dining, a full-service bar and a long veranda overlooking the 1st and 19th holes where you can relive every shot.

Everyone’s home course should be this good!

Ranked as #21 in Golf Digest’s 2011 list of the ‘Best in State,’ the Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course at The Reserve at Lake Keowee is a prime example of great South Carolina golf. A Par 72, laying out at 7,112 yards, Jack Nicklaus takes note of the natural beauty preserved in his Lake Keowee project: “I really co-designed the course with Mother Nature—complementing the gorgeous, natural features already here. It was my job to find the course hidden in the hills along the lake.”
