About Fenmoor Golf Club
Greensboro, GA | Reynolds Lake Oconee is proud to introduce Fenmoor Golf Club, the community’s eighth championship course and its next bold step in delivering premier private club experiences. Designed by acclaimed golf course architect Steve Smyers, Fenmoor will be a members-only course set to open in Fall 2026.
Located in the northeast corner of the 12,000-acre community, the site features a rich, varied landscape shaped by the headwaters of Lake Oconee. Rolling hills and wooded banks give way to marshes and meadows where Richland Creek splits and spills through the terrain—creating a dramatic setting where water doesn’t just border the land, it defines it. With nine greens positioned along the shoreline and sweeping lake views throughout, Fenmoor promises a golf experience that feels both grounded in nature and elevated in challenge.
Smyers’ thoughtful design will blend seamlessly into the land, emphasizing native grasses, topography, and strategic shot values to create a course that is both visually stunning and rewarding for players of all skill levels. In addition to the 18-hole championship layout, Fenmoor will feature a dedicated putting course, numerous short-game areas, and expansive practice facilities.
To complement the golf experience, Reynolds has engaged BLUR Workshop, the nationally acclaimed architecture and interior design firm, to envision a new clubhouse. The facility will include a restaurant and bar, men’s and women’s locker rooms and lounges, terraces, and gathering areas—all thoughtfully designed to echo the course’s natural setting and provide a welcoming, elegant retreat for members and their guests.
Together, the course and clubhouse represent Reynolds Lake Oconee’s continued commitment to excellence, natural beauty, and exceptional member experiences. As construction begins, anticipation builds for a course that honors the land and elevates the game—crafted by one of golf’s most respected architects and inspired by the spirit of the Reynolds community.
