I rise today to recognize seven Georgia golf courses as being named Golfweek's top 200 resort golf courses in America. Among these, three were ranked in the top 100: Seaside Golf Course on Sea Island Resort ranked No. 24, The Keep at McLemore Resort came in at No. 25, and Great Waters at Reynolds Lake Oconee tied for No. 73. Additional courses at Reynolds Lake Oconee, McLemore, and St. Simons Island also earned national recognition. Georgia is home to hundreds of golf courses, but our resort golf courses stand among the very best in the Nation. These rankings are based on expert evaluations of course design, conditioning, and overall quality, highlighting Georgia as a premier golf destination. This distinction showcases both Georgia's natural beauty and wonder in our State's renowned golf courses.
