Reynolds Plantation, move over! You haven’t got anything on us folks down here in South Georgia because we have Flat Creek Lodge. I live about 30 miles from Swainsboro and am ashamed to say I just heard about FCL. (I don’t get out much.) Amazing, truly amazing, to think someone could or would develop a classy resort out here in the country. We aren’t the sticks, but we are the country! But this place looks like Disney World.
There is an Atlanta connection. The owners and operators of FCL are Steve and Caroline Harless, who live in Atlanta. I think Steve is a CPA. They have transformed 2000 acres of Georgia timberland into an environmentally sensitive playground for corporate retreats, family vacations, weddings or just dinner out.
There are a lot of hunting lodges all over South Georgia, but FCL is totally different. Not only can you hunt and fish, you can just get close to nature with biking or walk around the dairy farm. FCL makes its own cheese! Cheese in Georgia? Who would have thought?
Don’t like to actually kill things, then go shoot clay pigeons at the skeet range.
This is more than the boys getting together to shoot birds. This is stuff families are made of. Learn to fish. Learn to shoot. At the end of the day, take a load off and visit the spa before enjoying the culinary specialties of Executive Chef, Scott Myers. Here’s a sample of the menu!
I know this reads like a commercial, but when you live 90 miles from Savannah and Macon and you find out there is a great gourmet restaurant 30 miles from home, you kind of get excited. FCL has been open for 5 years and I have to make up for lost time.
The best thing, the dining room is open to the public on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. I made my reservation during the interview.
