Rating 71.1

Jekyll Island Golf Club is Georgia's largest public golf facility, offering three 18-hole courses and a nine-hole course. Two of the 18-hole courses, Pine Lakes and Indian Mound, have similar characteristics since they sit side by side. Both are younger than the Oleander, which is considered the toughest of the three and served as host to the Georgia Open for four years. The Indian Mound Course is the shortest of the three at just under 6,500 yards from the back tees but that is not to say you won't run into a fair amount of challenges. The layout features lengthy par 5s that you wouldn't expect given the yardage, and the par 4s offer scoring opportunities for those who take advantage of the short shots into the green. The Indian Mound Course's main challenges are the undulating greens and abundance of sand.

Thumbs Up

Overall the course was solid. A little soft and muddy due to overnight rain. Bermuda was still mostly dormant and the greens were ok for this time of year. I expected that...not disappointed. Beautiful day and played with no one behind or in front of our twosome.. Great pace of play. Tee off time was 8:22 am

Staff was great. Nice layout is Indian Mound.

Golf at Jekyll Island beats snow and cold in Pennsylvania this time of year.

Jekyll Golf

Indian Mounds course was in great shape today. Fairways were generous in width, rough was about 2-3 inches high and the greens were in good shape. The course is not too long from the tips, 6400 yds. Played early and finished in 2.5 hrs. with a cart. For a “Hot Deal” in Golfnow - it was a great round for the price. Plenty of wildlife as well. Wind can be very deceptive, trees typically block out what you feel at ground level but can eat up a ball if you get it above the tree line.

3. Puddles & small ponds on fairways & sand traps

4. Cart path only extend pace by 1 hour.

5. Horrible, horrible overgrown rough

If I could give a ZERO star rating I would’

Indian Mound

All in all, a good course. It was pretty busy and we were waiting on 2 groups ahead of us on the entire back nine. Again, it was a descent course.

Overrated

Saw the course was a 4 star “golf resort” and only being an hour away I figured I’d give it a try. Pull up to the bag drop and unloaded our clubs while 2 employees sat about 10’ away watching instead of grabbing them for us. Driving range was closed so no warm up balls. Tee boxes were thin and overgrown. Fairway grass was average, although wet from rain this week but what can you do. Greens were the worst part of the whole experience. Slower than Christmas and you couldn’t differentiate them from the fairways. Pace of play was also slow for the front as we were stuck behind a couple foursomes of hacks rolling the ball from one side of the fairway to the other. Was able to book the round for $35 a person but would never pay that much again to play there. Also important to note you must pay $8 a car for a parking pass for Jekyll Island. Not saying it’s the worst I’ve ever played but there is much nicer courses available for the money.

Nothing special

None of the Jekyll Island courses have completely recovered from Irma damage, but the fairways seemed quite sticky on this course and the greens were the slowest of the 3 sets. The layout is nothing outstanding, with a few moderately interesting holes.
