We have a terrific program currently taking place at The Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation -- located 75 miles east of Atlanta in Greensboro, Ga. The Southern Gentlemen package is the ultimate in men's getaways. Sophisticated gentlemen enjoy all the luxuries of staying at a Ritz-Carlton while getting to indulge in all the essentials that make the perfect weekend with the boys -- golf, guns and cognac.

From shooting skeet against the red clay hills of Georgia to taking aim at 18 holes of golf designed by one of the greatest architects of the game, refined chaps revel in a men only escape at The Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation. Located on Lake Oconee, 75 miles east of Atlanta, the Southern Gentlemen is a three-night package, starting at $719* per evening, now - March 18, 2008
"Southern Gentlemen" Package Four Days/Three Nights Based on Double Occupancy Starting at $719* per evening, now through March 18, 2008
. Lake View Accommodations . Bass fishing on Lake Oconee for two . One round of skeet shooting at The Gun Club per person . Cigars & cognac at The Lodge Campfire . 18 holes of golf at The Oconee Course per person . Steak dinner at Linger Longer for two
With rolling terrain as a backdrop at The Gun Club, expert marksmen and first-time novices take aim at Olympic and American-style skeet. Adventures continue on Lake Oconee, where bass boats graze the surface at 75 miles per hour. With more fish-per-square-acre than any lake in Georgia, Lake Oconee offers anglers a chance to fight large mouth bass, bream, catfish, crappie and striped bass hybrids.
An even greater challenge lies on the greens of The Oconee course, where duffers must choose between direct tee shots over inlets of Lake Oconee and long drives down tree-lined, dog-leg fairways. Combining a strategic design by Rees Jones and the natural setting of hardwood forests and expansive shorelines, the par-72, 7,029-yard Oconee course presents players the ultimate risk/reward design.
The Ritz-Carlton Spa -- recently ranked No. 4 on the list of "Top Resort Spas" by Travel + Leisure -- offers rejuvenation after a day of casting lines and sinking perfect putts. A Deep Tissue Massage, using the skilled hands of a trained therapist relaxes muscles while a soak in the whirlpool re-energizes. Additional southern-inspired treatments are available at the Mobil Four-star award-winning spa from Lemon Verbena treatments invigorating tired hands to Wild Lime Botanical Scalp & Body Remedy soothing tired scalps and necks.
Following a play-filled day, hungry men enjoy a succulent steak dinner at Linger Longer Bar and Grill. Options of a thick, 18 oz. Porterhouse Steak served with Port Wine Sauce, Homemade Linger Longer steak sauce and Maple Bacon Jus to satisfy rumbling bellies. Before retiring for the evening, fellows unwind with the mellow flavor and penetrating scent of Kelt XO Cognac and a full-bodied AVO No. 2 cigar.
