The Reserve Club At Woodside

I retired here at the Reserve Club back in 2012. Needless to say, I love it here! The club has Tennis, Pickleball, a great Pool, Restaurant, Pub, Ballrooms, Croquet, and many activities. Hey, I got married here under the gazebo in 2016! But - I am here for the golf! We have two great courses: The Nicklaus Course and The Zoeller Course (also know as Hollow Creek.) Here are some of my favorite on course photos I've taken over the years. I hope you enjoy them.

An elegant facility with a staff that provides excellent service! Our daughter had a wedding there last Saturday and it was awesome. Barry and the chef are great and attention to details. We are so grateful and would highly recommend it.

Amazing golf course! I usually play on the "flat" golf courses of the southern states and i was pleasantly surprised by the different elevation at this course. The property is well manicured and maintained. Setting is just gorgeous!

The Reserve Club at Woodside was amazing. The people and staff were friendly and the chefs are simply brilliant. The tune poke, beet salad and Salmon were simply outstanding. David Seawell made our evening an outstanding one.

Now that I’m nearing retirement age, my thoughts drift to where I want to spend “the golden years.” I lived in Florida for almost 25 years and that scene got tiring; the heat was oppressive, the traffic was terrible and the people were not the nicest. We relocated to the small town of Crossville, TN – the Golf Capital of Tennessee – and it’s been great although the weather isn’t quite warm enough for me. My wife would vehemently disagree; she loves a good cold spell and, for some odd reason, snow. One area that has caught my eye is Aiken, SC, in particular a community known as Woodside Plantation. Woodside is a private, master-planned community in Aiken, S.C., a town that has been lauded by Southern Living Magazine as the “South’s Best Small Town!” Within the 24-hour manned gates of Woodside Plantation are more amenities than the average person will use during a lifetime, let alone during their retirement years. These include 4 golf courses designed by some of the game’s biggest architects: Clyde Johnston, Fuzzy Zoeller, Rees Jones, Bob Cupp, and Nicklaus Design, over 15 miles of nature trails, 3 onsite medical providers, a myriad of racquet courts, 60+ member-led social groups and clubs, and much more. There are two separate private country clubs inside the Woodside community: Woodside Country Club and The Reserve Club at Woodside Plantation. Woodside Plantation Country Club is a private country club with membership available to anyone inside or outside the gates. Pay an initiation fee, keep up on your monthly dues and you’re a member. The Reserve Club at Woodside Plantation is a little more restrictive. It’s a “mandatory membership” community meaning the only way you can become a member is to buy a home or homesite. The centerpieces at the Reserve Club are the two 18-hole championship golf courses: The Reserve Course, a Nicklaus design, and the recently completed Hollow Creek Course, designed by Fuzzy Zoeller and Clyde Johnston. Being located a mere 16 mi...
