Jekyll Island Golf Club - Oleander Course
Rating Snapshot
About
There are three 18-hole courses available at Jekyll Island Golf Club, making it the largest public golf facility in Georgia. The Oleander Course is the club's original layout and still remains the most difficult. It is the local favorite of the three courses as well. Don't be fooled by its seemingly modest yardage, there are plenty of challenges in store. The course features tight-, tree-lined fairways and an abundance of water in play throughout. The layout doesn't seem too tough from the fairways but you'll find keeping your ball in the short grass to be no easy feat and the ability to shape shots will definitely come in handy. The Oleander's 12th hole is the longest and one of the trickiest. This par 4 is completely exposed to blustery winds coming off the ocean and there is also quite a bit of water with which to contend.

Enjoyable course for early spring outing
As relative beginners (one more than the other), we found the course challenging but not overwhelmingly so. We played with another couple and the pace of play was good with neither players pushing us from behind or we having to wait for those in front of us. My biggest challenge coming off an extremely rainy season up north was adjusting to the dry conditions. I look forward to playing Oleander again before our annual snowbird stay ends.
3 courses to choose from
The fourth course is being renovated as we speak. Over all nice course. The fairways are a bit narrow. We played Orleander.
Good course for the money
Oleander is a beautiful course with challenges on every hole. The course maintenance seems to be ongoing, but could use some extra tlc in places. All in all, it’s a fun course to play.
Greens need work
The greens need to be reseeded and tended better. There are patches where grass is growing up that is uncut that makes putting seen more like winter rules. There are no ball washers on any hole and there are no yardage markers on any hole; one must depend solely on the GPS in the cart. Didn't see any 150 or 100-yd markers
Good course
Great course, usually not crowded and more available than the others
Cart path only had to ask, course wet should be discounted???
Course was fun
This was our first time playing here and first time playing golf in a long time. We had fun. The pace was good, weather was great and people working were pleasant and friendly.
OLeander course
Cours was very wet,green's were not in great condition,my first time there,wasn't really impressed, but was a decent price.
Not What I expected!
The course was mushy and wet. We were not informed of the bad grounds. Many of the greens have weeds growing on them which makes putting difficult.
