Three Georgia Golf Courses Make Golf Magazine's Top 100

Golf Magazine has named its top 100 publicly playable courses in the country, and three Georgia courses made the list.

Seaside, one of three courses at Sea Island Golf Club on St. Simon's Island, was the Peach State's top finisher, coming in at No. 22 on the magazine's semi-annual list.

Seaside has been home to a PGA Tour event since 2010.

Golf notes that the 88-year-old course was redesigned by Tom Fazio in 1999 and praises its "(m)arsh-tinged wetlands, bold bunkers and views of the Atlantic Ocean."

Fees to play Seaside range from $235-$320.

The Great Waters course at Reynolds Lake Oconee took the No. 41 spot on the list.

"Few courses so successfully fuse beauty, challenge and playability as this 1992 effort that hugs the shoreline of Lake Oconee for nearly the entire back nine," the magazine writes.

The course's 9th, 11th and 18th holes earned special praise for being "superior risk/reward tests."

To play Great Waters costs $159-$245.

Reynolds Lake Oconee tallied a second time on the list, with its Oconee course coming in at No. 63.

The magazine celebrates the Rees Jones-built course for its "big, bold layout" and "rolling terrain that sweeps through giant pines and mixes strategy-laden shotmaking options with eye-candy views of Lake Oconee."

Fees at the course, in Greensboro, range from $159-$245.

Pebble Beach Golf Links made the list's No. 1 spot, replacing Pacific Dunes, in Bandone, Oregon, which finished first when Golf last published its list two years ago.

Pacific Dunes slipped to second in this year's reckoning.
