The Reserve at Lake Keowee

Just two hours from Atlanta, Georgia and Charlotte, North Carolina, The Reserve at Lake Keowee is a private lakefront community located on Lake Keowee in Sunset, South Carolina. The Reserve was developed by Greenwood Communities and Resorts, which has been family owned since 1978 by the Self family. Greenwood Communities and Resorts are well-known for their commitment to developing properties to the best possible advantage with regard to an area’s natural beauty while steadfastly incorporating the principles of intelligent, sustainable land planning.

This fabulous master-planned community that sits on 3,900 acres of lush vegetation and has placed over 550 acres in perpetual conservation easement for future generations of property owners to enjoy. Lake Keowee is a 18,500 acre lake fed by mountain streams. It is ideally situated at the end of the Blue Ridge Escarpment, which is the southern end of the Appalachian Mountains, and easily accessed via Scenic Highway 11.

Needless to say, it an angler’s delight and provides almost limitless recreation for lovers of water sports or those in need of relaxation.

Golf

Jack Nicklaus utilized the natural features typical of the foothills and the Blue Ridge Escarpment region – sloping terrain, lake and mountain views and mature forests of mixed hardwoods and pines – in designing a gorgeous 18-hole Signature Golf Course.

The course encompasses 5 sets of tees, including new beginner tees, and enjoys a dramatic lakefront finish. Check out the signature 15th hole!
