Ritz Carlton Lodge Reynolds Plantation

I can swing the clubs with something approaching decent form, but it barely warrants the phrase "playing golf."  You needn't be a tour professional to appreciate the natural beauty of the Reynolds Plantation courses.  It is a truly serene place.




The Ritz Carlton Lodge at Reynolds Plantation is a little off the beaten path, maybe 60-90 minutes outside of Atlanta depending on the time of day and weight of your foot.  The property's AAA Five-Diamond Award, however, was well deserved.  The hotel has a great country charm, terrific views of the lake and water activities, the aforementioned golf courses and fantastic food.  The property is relatively new and it shines through in the rooms, which are both large and comfortable.  Amazing bathrooms will all the right appointments, Bvlgari personal care and sublimely comfortable robes. 

If you don't enjoy golf or lake activities, you're left with little to do other than sun at the fantastic infinitely pool overlooking the lake and enjoy a spa treatment.  But, if you need a weekend getaway from Atlanta or a worthy golf trip, the Ritz at Reynolds definitely deserves consideration.
