Jekyll Island Golf Club - Indian Mound Course
About
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.

Nice track, poor condition
This course would have been very nice had the conditions been better. The greens were very fuzzy, causing them to be slow. A couple holes had severe damage to the greens. Most tee boxes were un mown, which isn't a huge deal, but it isn't how it is supposed to be. There was no one playing on Memorial Day, so we flew around without hitch, which made the course more enjoyable. Jekyll Island is a gorgeous place and they have a gold mine if they put more money towards the conditioning the courses. Overall, it's not bad golf for $20 bucks. I wouldn't pay much more for it.
Great layout
This was the second time in 3 weeks that my fiancé and I drove 1.5 hours to golf Jekyll Island. Staff is super friendly and courses are in great condition. There were a few greens that need some work but it didn't affect the way they played. No over crowding or waiting for groups in front of us. We played Indian Mound this visit and the Pine Lakes the last. Will definitely be back again for a great round of golf.
This was my 2nd Jekyll
Will be back to play the Pines next and combo it with the Dunes. Everything was as I anticipated a beautiful somewhat challenging course amongst the trees. You would not know there was civilization around you. If you are looking for serenity and a great day out this is the place to go
bad greens
Course layout is nice but green conditions are bad. Pace of play is slow. Starter sent me off back 9 as i was a single and moved right around only to find 20 players lined up on one. I was offered to play out on Oleander but after 13 holes came to a stop ( got some extra golf but was not my goal). So i headed back over to finish my round on Indian. After 6 holes guess who? the large group i found on one.
Great outdoor escape
Wonderful scenery and excellent weather on this day. Beware of the wildlife - gators, snakes, turtle, and deer observed on this golf outing. Course is in good shape.
Indian Mound
Great Pro shop and driving range. Beautiful fairways and challenging greens.
good course but greens in poor shape
staff cut greens way too short for college tournament earlier in March and most are left dry/burnt with little to no grass and lot of sand on them. Will take a while to get this course back to decent shape. Most greenskeepers are moving towards bragging about fast greens and this new guy is a perfect example of what can happen when he trips over his own enthusiasm..Let the grass grow !!
Wonderful highly recomended
Golf was great, staff very friendly and helpful, plus the grill was reasonable. All of these things made for a great experience!
Pretty Course, Great Value for Area
Course was in good condition. Pretty scenery, somewhat challenging, nice restaurant, good food and nice staff. Would definitely play again. They have three courses same location, would try another one.
great golf
Outstanding course, can be difficult with all the sand traps that protect the greens. Very enjoyable course and highly recommend.
Great course
First t time I played the course and would definetly go back.Challenging but fair. Course in very good condition considering time of year.Great value
Good course
First time here. Cart path only made for a long day along with some walkers. Good test for all golfers with the different tee boxes. Will play again when in the area.
Enjoyable course!
Great shape course with generous fairways and some beautiful views.
Pleasureable stroll in the grass
Playing for the 1st time here, I was not disappointed by the good conditions and non-existant crowds. I saw nobody the whole round and played 18 in less than 3 hours. The greens are all wonderful, the fairways in good shape but be ready to yield to deer and geese as they do not move when you approach them. Overall the course was a pleasure to play and the layout is just challenging enough to spark my return interest. Though basically flat terrain, the undulations on and around the greens make it challenging to put your shot where you want it. Otherwise, it was fun no matter what.
Good Course Very Slow Play
This is a good course with some of the rudest, slowest, and inconsiderate players I have ever experienced. We followed a twosome and a foursome for 16 holes with 6 groups held up behind us. The foursome would not let anyone play through and the twosome in front of us literally drove their cart three feet from the green. There were no rangers on the course and those that we reported this to, were unresponsive. BTW the twosome with the cart should not have been on the course anyway, as there was a cart path only rule that day because of recent over seeding. I believe this is a great course with wonderful holes, but the people ruined it for at least 25 people that had to follow this "privileged foursome".
GREAT DAY FOR GOLF
GREAT DAY FOR GOLF. NICE COURSE FUN TO PLAY. COURSE IN GOOD SHAPE, SCENERY WAS GREAT
Great location but failed to mow
On big surprise was the $6 entry to the island fee. A great concept if you stay the whole day as it pays formal the parking. I was there for golf and it is a pretty site with multiple courses. I played Indian mound and the layout was great . If you play blues the length works well and is a challenge. What was very odd was the hairy greens and the fairways. You get no roll at all and you need to pound the putts home. Im not certain why this was the case or that it is a normal condition. I will return as the layout was fun and there is no way the members allow all that hair.
Slow Play
Cart path only, wet course just slow. The course was in good shape would play again
Perfect day for golf
Was suppose to play Indian mound but I was a single and I played pine lakes alone, not rushed cool breeze perfect day. Course was in excellent condition. I'm glad I'm a long hitter the fairways has noooooo roll whatsoever. Fairways cut nice and ruff was ruff lol. Greens where rolling true but slow nice greens tho. Staff in club house was very friendly and starter as well. Starter and I are from same stat MICHIGAN and lived closed to each other while there. Food in club house was good and had cold beer. Wings and fries where good. I suppose to play LPGA ON MONDAY but may return to Jekyll to play Indian mound. The course was not busy at all. I played a single in 230 mins. Nature was very fun deer would come tote box as you tee offandeould not run when you approached them. Warning if you hit ball in trees don't go looking for it Mosquitos will eat you alive they will actually follow you to the green. Lol overall all perfect day with nice cool breeze and played as a single. Will return very soon maybe even monday. ⛳️
Excellent for the average handicapper.
Played in just over three hours. No penalty stokes. No lost balls. No water to avoid. Just fun.
