About

Par 72
Length 6469 yards
Slope 129
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.

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. ⛳️

This course has a good design

I played in the early morning so conditions were wet and greens, while they had been rolled, were slow but putted pretty true. The fairways are some of the best I have played on. Will play here again.

Very Disappointed

Thank god I only paid for 9 holes! Desk did not advise us of temporary tee boxes and greens. Course horrendously wet, was sinking to my ankles in several spots approaching greens. Fairways excessively wet and soft, so you couldn't get a clean shot without your feet squishing beneath you. Should have been cart path only. Greens very slow and bumpy. I quit trying to play after 6 holes. Course layout pretty boring, not much challenge, not much visually stimulating, although it was nice to see deer at several times.

Golf Course & Golf Now Are NOT Connected

While the great prices offered by GolfNow are attractive, it's "buyer beware" because you pay first before finding out that the course is aerifying the greens, and you will be playing to one or more temporary greens. The par 3 #2 today with both temp tees and greens played to about 48 yards!

Also, the pro-shop, starter and the first ranger we encountered failed to tell us it was cart path only.

Can't you guys do better job at communicating the playing conditions of the course before we put down the cash.

Great value for the money

Many of the greens were in very rough shape. When they are in that condition it just adds about a half dozen strokes to your game

A very good time

My brother-in-law and his wife were in town for a few days to golf. We live in Statesboro Ga and were unsure of traveling so far to Jekyll Island. We were not disappointed. The condition of the course was very good. The fairways were lush and well to play on. Greens were in good condition and large enough for average players. Fairways were wide and easy to play. Making plans already to return and spend more time on the island and this course. Would recommend to anybody.

Nice Course To Play

Friendly staff, good deal. Short course with wildlife all around you, very cool. Fairways in really nice conditions. Greens were small, slow, and rough, could use some work. Overall a nice round of golf worth playing.

NICE ROUND OF GOLF

Course was in good shape, but a little wet. Ate at McCormick's Grill at the turn. Great food for lunch. Saw about 10 small white-tail deer on the course. Almost hit one:(

Beautiful scenic setting

The Course is always in great shape. With it being on the island and isolated from alot of traffic and people you will see wildlife on most of the holes. We saw several deer and several alligators. The area is so serine and peaceful. The course was lush and green. We played on a Saturday morning a little after 9:00 and we finished right at 4 hours. The course was full however everyone played fairly fast.

The course is definitely worth the drive.

A Great Day of Golf

My wife and I plus our adult daughter played on Sunday, our daughter's last round before flying home. We had a wonderful day at Jekyll. The courses are in great shape this year and the weather was bright and sunny (albeit somewhat chilly when not sheltered from a fairly strong NE wind). Pace of play was excellent but we still had time to enjoy the sights: alligators, turtles, birds, deer etc. We finished the day with a glass of wine in the sun on the deck of the Jekyll Island Club hotel (about a mile away but worth the visit). Overall, a superb day of golf!

Nice course, poorly marked, terrible communicatios

I played as a single with the first tee time of the day. Upon making the turn (in an hour) I found that the starter had put a tournament on the back nine. I was forced to move over to an adjacent course to finish my round and ended up playing behind a group of five.
I understand it is "resort golf" but a little communication would have gone a long way to insure good customer relations.
In addition, courses are very poorly marked. Make sure to take your range finder.

Spring is coming

It is nice to see the grass starting to get green. Some of the greens still need some growth, but at least we are playing. 17 & 18 are a challange both with water and play long because of it. Staff was great as always. You cannot go wrong at any of the Jekyll Courses!!!
