About

Type Resort
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.

Great Course

Everything went smoothly from arrival to tee off. Deceptively challenging course with areas being more confined than they appear to be. Deer running around the course made it more unique especially since they were not uncomfortable around people. Took the advice from another review and got the Patty Melt after our round....delicious.

Course was in good shape. Greens had a few dead spots and weeds, but really rolled pretty well. Overall it was in really good shape. Folks there are always friendly! Beautiful views and a gator or two.

Fun tract!

Really enjoyed my Friday afternoon round on Indian Mound; finished in 3.5 hrs. Played again on Saturday morning which was very slow play. Fareways and greens are in good shape. Greens are on the slow side. Also played Oleander which was recently aerated and greens still need a few weeks before they are rolling smooth.

A must play course

Great value, great course, a must play! The course is well cared for and managed. Some of the fairways are tight and if you're too far off you'll need to get out another ball.

Will play again.

This was my first time playing this particular Jekyll Island course. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. The course was in good shape. The greens were pretty true and not extremely fast. The fairways and tees were not in great shape but were acceptable. Saw plenty of wildlife - deer, gators, etc. The clubhouse could have been more well maintained. Overall, I will play this course again.

A Nice Track

This was the first time playing Indian Mound. The course was in good shape and it was nice to play a course that had no houses to compete with the beauty of the nature. The course is a traditional parkland design, all right there in front of you. The only negatives were that several groups started on number 10 as we made the turn, making the back nine slow. Then, after finishing, the kitchen had closed at four o'clock, leaving us hungry and disappointed. My wife had stopped after nine and enjoyed a nice grilled fish sandwich. So, when they're open, the food is good.

Great practice facility

This course was in excellent shape. I was paired with another single which turned out to be a great round of golf. The fairways and greens were in excellent shape. Some of the bunkers were sketchy due to recent rain, but other than that it was an excellent course to play.

indien mounds in the sun

Had a great time playing the course, for the mid-winter conditions, the course was in excellent shape, the greens were as close cut as a billiard table and the ball rolled right on the line I picked. will be back again soon, and the value after noon for 28.00 was extremely good.

Very good value

I have played this course three times to date. Each time staff was very friendly and helpful. This is a large well organized golf complex. Range balls are pretty beat up. Condition was pretty good considering this is winter and after a recent cold snap. Greens are in very good shape and pretty quick.

Nice Course / Pretty Easy

This is a well kept course and very open. Greens are in great shape, fairways are plush, and the layout is more than fair. I feel like I scored way better than I struck the ball which indicates to me that the course is pretty easy. With that said, I had a blast! You always do when you score...lol. Look for a Hot Deal tee time on this course and it's a steal! Enjoy!

Great December Course

Always enjoy the Jekyll courses, but when many courses have brown or white(snow) fairways this time of year. Jekyll courses look like early spring. Highly recommended!!!
