We stayed in Lithonia one year and at Reynolds Plantation one year. It's essentially an hour or so drive in the morning. It's an early start, but I'm an early person, so it isn't a big deal.

Do the free parking. It is closer than some of the pay parking.

Get there an hour before the gates open, they let you in early.

Buy your stuff as soon as you walk in. It helps if you have in your head what you're after. I had a list of what shirts and sizes I needed for my friends. If you go in there and are truly shopping, you could spend an hour just walking around.

Grab a coffee and head to the course.

First thing is to walk the golf course. You can't get an appreciation for the course on TV. Start at the clubhouse by one tee and imagine all the great who have teed off there. It's truly surreal.

Don't be scared to snack all day. The mini moon pies are delicious. I basically hit the concession stand on every pass.

I've never dropped a chair, but may try it this year. I second the grand stand on 16. You can watch the par three, the second shot and on for the par 5 15th and you can see the tee shot on 17. Truly a non stop action spot, especially if the pin is in a good spot for 15 and 16.

Once you have walked the golf course, go towards the par 3 course and you can get your picture made on the other side of the club house. I have a picture there with my dad and it's something I'll always treasure. It's free and it doesn't take long.

For lunch, the bar b q sandwich is tops. Everyone loves the pimento, but it isn't for me. But I was there and I had to have one.

Hang out by one tee and you'll get to see a lot of famous people and golfers doing interviews.

5 green on the left side where you can see down the hill and watch 6 and 16 is awesome.

Bottom left of 10 is good just to see the severity of the slope of the fairway. Top of 10 green makes you wonder how anyone keeps it on the green.

Obviously amen corner is worth spending some time.
