The Reserve at Lake Keowee is a private, 3,900-acre golf and recreational community set on the shores of Lake Keowee in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Lake Keowee’s crystal clear water is considered one of the purest South Carolina lakes.
The lake’s 18,500 acres of Blue Ridge Mountain-fed water and 300 miles of shoreline provide The Reserve at Lake Keowee with an ideal place for boating, fishing, water-skiing, swimming, camping and picnicking.
There are also miles of hiking and biking trails, which provide residents with endless pathways to the water’s edge, preserves, parks, green spaces and club areas. Send me more information about The Reserve at Lake Keowee!
Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf
The golf course at The Reserve at Lake Keowee was designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 2002. Nicklaus utilized the topography of the land and allowed the course to follow the natural contours of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. A par-72, 18-hole course that stretches 7,112 yards, it provides challenging play for all skill levels.
“The course creates a natural gathering spot in the heart of The Village,” says Nicklaus, “and offers dramatic lake and mountain views that players will remember long after the last putt.” Send me more information about The Reserve at Lake Keowee!
