Jekyll Island Golf Club - Indian Mound Course

Have golfed here at Jekyll island many times over the years and on all the courses available. This year Indian Mounds is in very bad shape. Overall the fairways are ok however the traps are not maintained and the greens are horrendous. Frankly, they should pay us to play there.

Needing lots of work.

Aside from the poorly kept greens, I loved the course

Greens were full of weeds, not burmuda grass. Many of the greens had large bare spots with no grass or weeds. The cart paths had giant potholes & if near tee or green when trying to avoid one the GPS would stop the cart. The driving range was overpriced at $7.50 for a small bucket of balls & required to hit from a mat & not real grass. I've played better conditions at course costing less than $20 per tee time.

The putting green is tiny & difficult to find a 5 foot putt that will have 100% grass. The greens on the course were horrible! Multiple bare spots on every green & it looked like more weeds than grass.

The cart paths had more potholes than anyone could avoid. I've played public courses in cow pastures that were in better shape than this course!!!

The greens were horrible, fairways as bad, not worth the price. Even charged a rider fee for spouses. Not playing here again.

Greens have some bald spots and the tee boxes need some love but everything else was in real good shape!

Course was in good shape and staff was very friendly. For a Sunday afternoon the course was empty, we were a 2 some and played in 3 hours.

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.

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 .

Great conditions, for a more in depth review, copy and paste to your browser;

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

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.
