Major renovation at this time

Tee boxes were mostly under repair. Greens we're extremely inconsistent. Fairways were overall in good condition. Carts with GPS were helpful.

Excellent course, especially considering the price

My son and i played this course for the first time today. WOW! I couldn't believe the condition of the course, as it relates the price to play. I play a lot of "value golf"- you know the price range: $25-$50. This course had me and my son thinking we were playing on a PGA tour course; very, very well conditioned. It is a challenging course, a bit tougher due to the fact we had no course knowledge, but still throughly enjoyed our round anyway. It was extremely hot & humid, but hey thats south Georgia in July (just wished there could've been at least a speck of wind..it was HOT!). I definitely recommend this course to everyone, at $20.00 (online booking rate) there's no reason not to try it.

Very nice course

We visited this course while on vacation at Saint Simons Island. This course is very nice and underated. It is an incredible value. All three of us played for what it would have cost for one to play on the Island. I was very impressed with the course conditions. The fairways were incredible. They were in as good a condition as just about any I have seen. The greens were also excellent. They were working on some of the Tee boxes, so they were a little less impressive. The course borders the marsh and there are many scenic holes. The pace of play was good. It was a great experience.

Worth the drive

Heard about this course from a friend in Georgia. Well worth the drive from Jacksonville.

Lots of challenging holes and layout was something else. Marsh views, elevation changes and lots of bunkers.

With all of the rain in recent weeks still held up well and got a chance to play the island green.

Can wait to play it again!

Great course except when it rains

The course is set up to challenge the best golfers but by playing the forward tees a senior golfer can have a great time and score well. When last played, it had rained and had to play using cart path only which was not fun for an 85 and 77 year old player. Still played the round in under three hours. Hole number 15 (a par 5) was closed due to redoing; had to play and island green which was a par three. Still had a great time.

Top 5 Courses You Can Play in Golden Isles

The layout is interesting and will challenge players of all handicap levels. The condition of fairways and greens was a pleasant surprise, more typical of a private club.

The course while surrounded by homes still provides a tranquil setting on Oak Grove Island which enhances the experience. The price-value of this course places it in my top 5 in the golden isles.

Nice track

The course overall was in good shape. The greens however were slow and bumpy. I do understand why though, as it was 100 degrees when we played. They have done a lot of work in getting the course back to playable condition. This course has a good layout and some pretty golf holes. Make sure you bring plenty of balls, it has plenty of water and marsh to navigate around.

Cerebral course

This course lends itself to all kinds of golfers. It is all about shot placement due to hazards all around. Golfer must think one to two shots ahead. There are some grip and rip fairways but look out for hazards like fairway bunkers, saw grass, and water. Pack some extra balls. greens were recently aerated but still in good shape. Beautiful coastal views along the course. challenging par 4's with water in front of green.

Lots of water

Only complaint was the confusion and back up on the 10 th par three substituted for the repair of #17. Way to many people on tee box and waiting, way to many people on green. Need to have much more organization to ovoid the confusion and hold up.

Great course

This course is in great condition!! It will presents different elevation at the tee. It offers long par 3s and short par 5s. Majority of the shots required distance shots. Waters and crab grass outline the course. The strong wind will put all hazards into play. Great resort course with a better price.

Worth the trip

A very nice course with friendly staff. Always seem to be trying to improve the course. Had one whole closed for maintenance but have an extra island green hole to fill in the gap. Great value!

Marvelous and fun course!

We played this course on our way to watch the TPC. What a marvelous and fun course! Great condition! Greens were immaculate; fairways beautiful; tees perfect! The only problem might be the sand traps...1/2 inch of sand on top of hardpan. Lots of hazards, but plenty of room to maneuver around. We will likely do this course again on one of our trips to Florida.

The course is very aesthetic with many water and marsh views.

The course is in excellent condition. The greens are well maintained and roll true. The course is challenging but not extremely difficult. There is water on almost every hole. I would highly recommend this golf course for the price since it is a great value.

Great turnaround in course conditions

I have played this course over the past 15 years and it is in the best shape its ever been. This is because they have finally found a greens keeper that really knows what he's doing. In the past they've tricked this course up with planting grasses in the middle of fairway landing areas. Made for circus golf and a very frustrating experience that caused many locals to abandon it as a regular loop. The greens had previously been a very bland mixture of soft greens and slow rolls. The greens now roll according to their intended undulations and provide for some challenging putts. I played from the blue tees as this is not a bombers course (6265 yds) and will make you think about which club to pull from your bag off the tee. Fairway shots into these greens also give you pause as to how close you want to shoot at the pin and risk bogey or worse. Good job to the ownership and Travis for improving the course and getting it into great shape.
