Thinking About Living in The Golf Club at Cuscowilla?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands The Golf Club at Cuscowilla and the surrounding Lake Oconee golf market.
Cuscowilla is a private, gated residential community on the south/Putnam County side of Lake Oconee, built around a nationally regarded Coore & Crenshaw golf course that opened in 1997. It has grown to roughly 275 built homes of a planned 550-home build-out, with home styles ranging from Mountain Rustic-style golf cottages and Tuscany-style villas to traditional single-family homes and, behind a second gated entrance, luxury estate homes.
Golf & Course
The 18-hole course was designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, an architect pairing with strong national reputation among golf-course-design enthusiasts, opened in 1997.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Cuscowilla offers a Resident Golf Membership (reported $500,000-$1,000,000 initiation, $20,000-$30,000 annual dues per aggregator sources, unverified against the club's own materials) and a lower-tier Resident Lake Club Membership (reported $150,000-$250,000 initiation, access to most amenities except golf). Whether membership is strictly mandatory for all property owners or can be optional under certain governing documents was not resolved with confidence this pass -- sources describe it both ways.

Costs & Fees
Figures below are labeled Current only when the source itself frames them as presently accurate. Everything else is labeled Historical — a source checked today does not make an old fee a current one.
Initiation (range low)
Historical$500,000
Reported Resident Golf Membership initiation range low end ($500,000). This figure comes from real-estate/lifestyle aggregator coverage, not Cuscowilla's own published fee schedule -- the club does not publicly disclose membership pricing. Treat as an unverified estimate pending primary-source confirmation; flagged for hard verification in the discovery pass and not resolved by this pass either.
Initiation (range high)
Historical$1,000,000
Reported Resident Golf Membership initiation range high end ($1,000,000), same aggregator-sourced caveat as initiation_fee_min. A separate, lower Resident Lake Club Membership tier (non-golf amenities) is reported around $150,000-$250,000 initiation.
