Jekyll Island Golf Club - Indian Mound Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Another Birthday Round!
We have golfed Jekyll Island Golf club for over 20 years. All 3 courses. We always go for my birthday in April. The courses are excellent and well kept. The staff are always friendly and courteous. We hope to go again later this year. You will see all kinds of wildlife...deer, alligators, raccoons, etc. We enjoyed our round. The greens were fast but very puttable. The Oleander Course is under construction now with a new design coming. We can't wait to play that one. Also, this time we had dinner in the restaurant on site for the first time. It was splendid. We had never eaten there before but we were happy with the choice.
Not good value
Some tees had no grass. Many fairways had holes probably caused by animals . Traps not in good condition. Some greens were ok but many had bare spots. There was a dead armidillo next to a tee and had been there a while . They charged 75 because they can but certainly not worth it .
Course is in excellent condition.
Great conditions, for a more in depth review, copy and paste to your browser;

Nice course on Jekyll Island
Great course for the price in that area. Would play again.
Course needs updating.
Some greens were rough.
Fairways need seeding.
Most tees need to be replaced
Course is tired
Course has been in better shape.
Haven't played here in a few years but make sure to give it some time to get back in good shape. The other courses here have been closed till last November and they weren't allowing carts on pine lake until a couple of weeks ago, so everyone has bombarded Indian Mound. It shows through the whole course fairway, greens, and even the rough. This course has been put on the back burner for a little bit, and they assure me it will get the TLC it needs in the next few months. If you can get a good price and are in the area, still go play it, but Pine Lake looks amazing right now and if you are ok with paying a little more money play that one instead.
Pace of play is awful
My tee time was at 10:08. The starter had me wait for over half an hour to pair me with someone. They refuse to let me play as a single even though there was no one to pair me with. Groups in front of me were hitting 10 balls per person on each hole, which I know the course can’t help but this was multiple groups. Course conditions were mediocre. Greens were in nice shape but very slow. Most tee boxes were in good shape but a few were entirely covered in sand. Most of the staff was very helpful and kind.
