Reynolds Landing golf course in Greensboro, Georgia

GREENSBORO, Ga. - Reynolds Landing is a sleeper golf course.

Yes, it's long, clocking in at better than 7,000 yards, but on the surface, it doesn't look that difficult. The fairways are wide, the greens sloped but not too undulating.

When it opened in 1986, the Bob Cupp-designed golf course was ranked second in Georgia, behind Augusta National. It's a great course that you'll never master, never tire of.
