The golf course at Harbor Club on Lake Oconee is gorgeous to look at but tough to play. With a reputation that precedes it, the Harbor Club golf course offers potential home buyers the opportunity to play on an award-winning golf course: No. 4 on Golfweek Magazine’s Top 10 Golf Courses in Georgia and 4.5 stars out of 5 by Golf Digest. However, home buyers can expect more than just challenging play with gorgeous scenery and breathtaking lake views.
“Design and scenery are extremely important factors in ranking courses statewide,” explains Superintendent Jeff Miller. “Golf courses that are highly ranked often bless it’s golfers with fond memories via its design, views and playing conditions. Six holes touch Lake Oconee, offering great views of the area’s natural beauty.”
Great lake views equal a serene setting for the young family or the wiser retiree. The lake touches a third of the course, which presents a challenging hazard for golfers. The natural beauty of the lake coupled with extensive maintenance makes every hole of the course a new and beautiful adventure.
“We certainly pride ourselves on maintaining quality A1/A4 Bentgrass greens here at Harbor Club,” says Miller. “We are one of only two courses with Bentgrass greens at the lake that anyone can play and, as more courses opt to convert to Bermuda grass, our greens remain of high desire.”
Golfers know how important a well-maintained golf course is for a fun outing, and Harbor Club invests time and resources to maintaining the award-winning beauty of its course.
“The auditing and updating of irrigation heads is an ongoing project as we attempt to improve our water efficiency,” he says. “We’ve also done quite a bit of tree removal to improve sunlight and growing conditions for the grass around the course, which has certainly made a difference. Other items include new hitting mats for the driving range, cart path repairs, new signage for the golf course and addition of several Zoysia grass tee boxes. In other words, we put in a lot of hard work!”
Interweaving the golf course is a multitude of new home sites ready for purchase. Harbor Club currently has 16 new home sites ranging in price from $39,900 to $179,900.
