Jekyll Island Golf Club - Indian Mound Course

My wife and I enjoyed play at Indian Mounds. It is a beautiful, manicured course with gentle rolling fairways surrounded by forested areas. Some work is needed on tee boxes. Hoping to play again on our next visit.

We were very happy about the quality of the course and the layout. The only problem, was that there were two large parties in front of us. A group of six, and a group of five, and a group of four. The large groups played very slowly and consequently there were at least six groups behind them they had to constantly wait for them to progress. We never saw a course Marshall during our 18 holes and if there had been one driving about, they could’ve speeded up the groups. I would still return for another round, but if this was a recurring theme, then I would not waste my time and money.

This is semi-private resort golf done right. No it’s not 5 diamond. But it delivers what I want for the money. More than adequate practice facilities. A good restaurant, friendly staff without pretentiousness. Cart GPS. Decent grooming, but not perfect.

Other reviews talked about how much progress the course had made. Must have been a goat pasture once upon a time because it was only missing the four legged friends. From tee to green as much weeds and bare spots as grass. The bunkers were filled with shell fragments. May be quaint to use the sand directly from the local beaches, but sifting it first would save the scratches from the clubs. Clubhouse guys were straight forward but could have used some Southern charm. Starter seemed worried about getting folks out fast and it showed as we waited 3 pairings deep on most holes and at least 2 on every hole. Never saw a ranger once. Beverage cart came by once. Grueling 5 hour round, that didn’t have to be that way. The difficulty of the course should allow for an easy 3 1/2 to 4 hour pace. Usually don’t mind waiting for golf, but this course wasn’t worth it.

Played the Indian Mound Course for my birthday "week". Had a great round. Have played this course many times in the past. I have never been disappointed. The fairways and greens were in great shape. It was like putting on glass. I look forward to coming back again. All 3 courses at Jekyll Island Golf Club are fabulous. I will definitely come back again.

Course is pretty. However not particularly challenging. Fairways in poor shape and greens not great.

Played with my son, who is 8. My wife rode with us. Had the course to ourselves after 2:30, which was great for a Saturday afternoon. Course conditions were somewhat lacking in the fairways, but greens rolled nice. Good value for the area. Would play again.

Play this course every time we are in the area. Enjoy the challenge of the course, conditions are usually good, the staff are all very friendly.

Course was a lot of fun! Greens and fairways were in great condition, a little wet but not bad. A ton of wildlife all over the course! 5 deer on a tee box to cheer me on, or laugh at me! They got me out right away. Very enjoyable round!!!

Played Indian Mound for the first time yesterday. Was looking for a forgiving, wide- open course where I would not lose many ball. Liked that water did not come into play onmany holes and the sand could be avoided on most holes. Recommend playing from the forward tees if is your first time. Had an excellent overall experience. The price for riding 18 went from $70 to $50 after noon, and the course was not overly busy. Would definitely play IM again!
