Cuscowilla on Lake Oconee

Situated on a peninsula, this Tuscany-style golf resort in Georgia is surrounded by picturesque Lake Oconee, Georgia's 2nd largest lake. Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore designed this links-style Lake Oconee golf course. The walkable golf course weaves through fragrant pine trees, tall natural grasses and rolling meadows. The challenging red clay bunkers are impressive intimidating even the best golfers. In 2007, Golfweek named Cuscowilla the #2 Best Residential Golf Course in America. This is one of many awards the golf course has been honored with. Cuscowilla also has a superb golf practice facility and the community is golf cart friendly.

Lake Oconee homes at Cuscowilla can be included in the community's master rental program. 

Cuscowilla is located 70 miles east of Atlanta, along the Antebellum Trails of Georgia. The Central Georgia moderate climate permits year round play on the Lake Oconee golf courses. Retiring Baby Boomers are drawn to this area because of the mild winter weather. Lake Oconee is highly regarded for excellent bass fishing and all types of boating activities. As the state of Georgia eliminates state income tax on retirement income up to $130,000 for joint filers, we see gated communities in Georgia gaining more attention from Baby Boomers.
