A Lifestyle Built Around Golf and Lake Life
On the shores of Georgia’s second-largest lake, Harbor Club on Lake Oconee has grown into more than just a golf community. With its championship course, newly reimagined recreation campus, award-winning marina, and family-owned legacy, Harbor Club has become a destination where lake living, sport and southern charm all come together.
A Champion Golf Course with Character
Harbor Club’s 18-hole course, designed in 1991 by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, is consistently ranked among Georgia’s best. Routed through wooded hillsides and along Lake Oconee, it touches the water six times and offers both variety and pace of play. Signature holes include two drivable par-fours, most notably the 7th, and a par-three on the 17th hole that was inspired by Augusta National’s 12th. Although Harbor Club is a 1,000-acre, private gated community, the golf course is open daily to limited outside play. The course is particularly popular in April with golfers traveling to and from the Masters Tournament in Augusta, just an hour east of Greensboro. With rare bent grass greens and pristine conditioning, Harbor Club continues to earn top tier recognition.
The BoatHouse: Lake Living at Its Best
The Boathouse Marina, winner of the Aurora Award for Best Recreational Facility in the Southeast, is central to Harbor Club’s lake lifestyle. The marina offers year-round launching, fueling, and off-season storage, while summer brings live music, dining, and gatherings on the Grand Lawn. Located on Lake Oconee’s clear Richland Creek, it’s just a short boat ride from the Ritz-Carlton Lodge.
The Grove
The Grove, Harbor Club’s new 2-acre amenity campus, offers a 2,000-square-foot fitness center, yoga studio, hiking trail with fitness stations and Sanctuary Pond for fishing and relaxation. A sports field and renovated grandstand host concerts and events, while The Stables, once an equestrian barn, has been transformed into a premier wedding venue with a cedar outdoor chapel. “The Grove provides residents and members with a vibrant amenity and the perfect complement to our golf course, marina, clubhouse, and swim and tennis center,” says GM Brandon Matney.
Luxury Dining on the Course
Harbor Club’s hilltop clubhouse restaurant overlooks the golf course and croquet lawn, serving lunch, dinner, and a beloved Sunday brunch. Signature cocktails like the Cadillac Peachrita and Tee-Off Transfusion have made the bar a favorite among locals and guests alike.
Where Golf, Lake and Lifestyle Meet
Just an hour east of Atlanta, Harbor Club offers a rare mix of recreation and community. Whether you’re chasing birdies on the 7th hole, attending a wedding at The Stables, storing your boat at The Boathouse, or enjoying brunch with a lake view, Harbor Club delivers a lifestyle rooted in both tradition and innovation.
