Jack Nicklaus' reputation as a course designer is fast rivaling his legacy as the golfer of the century. In his Signature course for The Reserve he has woven each link through the amazing natural tapestry of the Blue Ridge terrain. It is the only. The views are worthy of the special setting-and the Nicklaus signature. In addition to the par 72 course, there are over-sized practice facilities, including a short game area and putting green. The course features junior tees for golfing learners and children.

If you play to relax, our Jack Nicklaus Signature course will help you forget why you need to relax. In his design at The Reserve, Nicklaus holds true to his belief that the relationship between course and its setting should be a reciprocal harmony.

"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

The Reserve's incredible landscape dictated a unique design for every hole. With rolling terrain and stunning water views, the course meanders along lush, verdant foothills and through dense forests of hardwood and pine. Natural water hazards provide drama from the 13th to the 18th holes. The course is already drawing worldwide acclaim.
