Greensboro, Ga. (January 12, 2009) - Reynolds Plantation has been named 10th among America's Top 25 U.S. Golf Communities in 2009 by TRAVEL + LEISURE GOLF Magazine.  This is the third consecutive year Reynolds Plantation has ranked in the top-25.

The list is compiled by TRAVEL + LEISURE GOLF editors and each property is reviewed in the following six categories, in order of importance: golf amenity; residential architecture and style; location, including natural setting and proximity to cultural activities; management, service and programming options; non-golf amenities, such as a full-service spa, equestrian center or marina; and environmental stewardship. 

Of Reynolds Plantation, the editors said: "Every great rhythm-and-blues artist wanted to play the Apollo Theater and now every top-tier golf architect wants to design a course at Reynolds Plantation. Pete Dye just signed to craft a new layout with Lake Oconee vistas and an expressly walkable configuration. Tom Fazio, Rees Jones, Jack Nicklaus, Jim Engh and Bob Cupp have also left their marks. The official twentieth anniversary of Reynolds Plantation was celebrated a few months ago. Encompassing ten thousand acres and eighty miles of shoreline, it stays on the leading edge of new ideas."

Reynolds Plantation is also home to the TRAVEL + LEISURE GOLF Cottage, the magazine's first-ever "ultimate home for a golfer."
