The Preserve was the first course at Reynolds Plantation, which opened in 1988 and is available to resort guests.

The course rolls extensively as it moves along sloping, tree-lined fairways with numerous elevated greens and tees. There are 13 holes with water hazards featuring several holes along Lake Oconee and a modest number of sand bunkers defending the fairway landing zones and greens. It was designed by Bob Cupp, Fuzzy Zoeller, and Hubert Green, and from the black tees, is 6,674-yards, par-72, 72.3/133, course/slope ratings, with four shorter tees.
