CRESCENT Things: The Reserve at Lake Keowee – A Banner Blue Ridge Citizen
Created in 2000, The Reserve at Lake Keowee is a residential community spanning 3,900 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains with 30 miles of Lake Keowee shoreline and convenient access to Greenville, SC. With a 200-slip Marina, Village Center, Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, and more than 1,400 acres of parks, preserves, trails, and green spaces, The Reserve has approximately 650 members from 30 different states, with an additional 660+ extended family members who enjoy club privileges through the multi-generational Legacy Membership program.
Aside from the family amenities throughout the community, The Reserve at Lake Keowee is home to a non-profit charitable foundation created to enhance the area’s quality of life and fulfilling philanthropy.
Sponsoring regular cultural events that include concerts, plays, lectures, and an annual art festival, The Reserve at Lake Keowee Foundation is designed to help preserve the area’s natural resources, provide educational programs for members and guests of The Reserve, promote the arts, and provide outreach activities for neighboring communities in Pickens County, SC.
To that end, The Reserve at Lake Keowee Foundation gave more than $40,000 to local charities in 2010.
