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.

Good Course
It’s a good course to play. The real issue is the greens. Once those are proper then the course would be a lot better.
Vast potential unrealized
A beautiful course with vast potential. The greens might be the worst I’ve ever played. Overridden with crab grass that’s been mowed to green length. Every putt was like dropping the ball in the Plinio game on the Price is Right. If you say three Hail Marys and make a sacrifice to the gods, your putt might hold the line you intended. Otherwise, your ball bounces to and fro like a tilted pinball machine. Don’t know how they’d fix it without completely killing the greens and reseeding or resodding. It’s a shame they’re on the maintenance struggle bus. They’ve let it go and I don’t think they can get it back. Also the sand is so fluffy it’s like hitting out of whipped cream. And, they don’t allow you to bring your own cooler, which would be fine if they provided cold water periodically along the course. In the 98 degrees with 80% humidity, they also made the questionable decision to disallow us from buying ice for the cart cooler (which they posted as a $4 charge) because they said the demand for ice was too high. Hmm? Wonder why? Other than that it was perfect. ;)
Still Jekyll Golf
Heard Indian Mounds had some issues and yes, they do. Having a problem with bald spots on greens and weeds on the greens. Really not any different than if they recently aerated the greens. Line up your putt and stay true to your read. It is still Jekyll Golf! Friendliest place this side of Disneyland and near perfect fairways. Furthermore, you know they will fix what needs fixing. Stay the course and have faith!
Good Review.
Good course good price. The greens on Indian mound needed some TLC.
Indian mound course
Fairways, bunkers were excellent condition. However most tee boxes and just about all greens were in horrendous conditions. Not worth the price to play in my opinion but the staff was excellent and very nice. Wish someone form the clubhouse would have warned me about the greens before we got out there but it is what it is.
Good bones, lack of maintenace
The greens were in horrible shape, but everything else was worth the money. Don’t know how that’s possible. Starter was also very rude for no reason.
Course review
Great staff and it's a good course. I feel that it's a bit overpriced considering the course conditions. Overall, it's a nice course and I would play it again if im ever around the area but I wouldn't go out of my way to play.
Poooor greens
Even at a reduced rate l didn't think the course was worth what l paid.
Ying and Yang
Course location was great, course looks nice, until. Tees and greens need a LOT of help. If you like bumpy putting, this is the course for you. Doubt we will go back.
Greens really bad
Pine Lakes was so nice Indian Mounds was a disappointment. Greens were really bad. Hopefully these will be replaced when Grand Dunes opens.
Course is not appropriate for play
Greens are horrible. I failed to look at reviews prior to booking and showing up. What mistake. Greens are not playable. Weeds all through greens.
How could the employees not mention to costumers that booked this course?. Worst greens I have ever played.
Looked at other course on the site while playing. They were playable. Next day I went to a different area to play because my respect for the workers at the facility is disappointing for not pointing out the conditions.
Horrible Greens
This course should not be open for public play at this time. The greens are horrible. I can’t believe nobody mentioned how bad it was in the clubhouse.
Pine lakes
Played pine lakes. Was in good shape. Some fairways a bit thin. Very very hot day and little water on course Overall, the re-do of pine lakes was nice. Pretty good shape, some bunkers were hard though.
Very Neglected
I haven't played this course in quite some time. The greens and bunkers were in very poor condition. It seems like Indian Mound has been neglected with the recent renovations to Pine Lakes and the revamp underway with Oleander. I hope they show some love to this course soon. It was not worth the price I paid to play it in its current state
Play pine lakes instead
This course is in terrible shape. The greens are horrible for the money not even close to worth it. Just play Pine Lakes if you’re in Jekyll Island.
Some of the worst greens I've seen
Greens are REALLY bad.... most had dead spots everywhere. They positioned the holes away from them, but still had to putt over the bad parts some times....
